These things are getting harder to find, and I'd like one for a decent price (they sold for $30 new when you could find them new).

If your compass cannot go big enough, put a nail in at the center of the circle, tie or glue a string to it, put a pencil at the radius point, and tie the other end of the string to the pencil. Trace circle.

I agree with the coarse thread pan head screws from parts express. They are THE BEST screw for MDF, period.

To flush mount the shiva, cut a recess that is 3/4" deep.

couple bucks

This is a great deal, if I didn't have my plextor 24X I'd spring for it. Someone pick this up!

Have you listened to it? How does it sound? You can follow all the science you want, but in the end, if you think it sounds good, who cares what the literature says? That said, 5 feet off the ground sounds just fine for surrounds.

My understanding is, you're not going to have a resonance or standing wave problem when you're dealing with wavelengths measured in feet within a box measured in inches.

I think I would apply it after to minimize the chance of the drill bit sucking up a piece of the vinyl

I have a Shiva in a ~16x16x19 sealed box in my dorm with the adire 250W amp, and I could rattle the whole floor if I wanted to (but I'm not that mean). As far as front or down firing, I think it's more a personal preference than anything. I chose downfiring because I wanted it to look like an...

Break out the orange shag carpet and let's have a spray adhesive party!

Ahhh a car audio convert... welcome to the club. Glad to see you didn't reach for the fiberglass or carpet it :)

I've been using my Onkyo DV-SP301 for about a month now, and love it. You can get it for

I have a Shiva and it rocks, $125 shipped.

Hey Chris.. how are your woodworking skills? This seems like a pretty ambitious project if you're just getting into things. Not trying to discourage an imaginative mind, but just putting together and finishing a normal box sub can be quite the undertaking for those of us without a dedicated...

I've liked my Axiom's more and more everyday since I bought them about 9 months ago. Truly a superb speaker, and one of the best sounding I've ever heard in my life. It seems you just can't go wrong with Axiom..

maybe sales people give him the heebie-jeebies :)

Also, all the lower strand count will do is make the wire slightly less flexible, but I can't imagine that being a big problem with 12ga wire.

the pioneer 811S is an excellent receiver, it gets up very loud and crisp in my 18x15 room with Axiom's.

This thread seems to have turned mostly into bickering about the changes :) but I just watched my copy for the first time.. And let me say, this is a must own for everybody! Get ready to give your subwoofer a workout.. I think I found about 3 new rattles that I haven't seen in any other...

Yeah.. server went down last night, looks like they're working now.

Well.. dolby spec says to place the surrounds on the side walls firing across the listener, so that's what I would do

Here's some pictures of my 54L sealed Shiva: First some top picks: http://home.gwu.edu/~dakahler/subbox/subbox14.jpg http://home.gwu.edu/~dakahler/subbox/subbox17.jpg http://home.gwu.edu/~dakahler/subbox/subbox7.jpg And of course you can see the rest, just go to the /subbox/...

Why do you need the recliners both so offset like that? From personal experience, being that offset from the surrounds kills the surround effect. So, you may be better off placing the right speaker closer to the recliners, even though that's hardly optimal. Maybe a rear center channel could...

No.. it's definitely not that.. I've noticed it on other sounds than human voices, I just wanted to give an example of where I usually hear it.

I'm noticing a very slight static-type noise in my front speakers at a very short frequency range. It appears to be near the upper end of male dialogue. This is a VERY slight thing and I only notice it every once in awhile. However, I've noticed it enough over the past 6 months that I don't...

I'd either go with A/C fans, or you can get either a power interver or computer power supply and plug it into and aux outlet on your receiver if you have one.

just set it to 4 speakers

I have a 250W amp into 4 ohms powering my Shiva, and while it can get pretty loud if I want it to, I haven't managed to shake anything yet.
