Try a bottle of glycerin - main ingredient in cornhuskers. Should be easy enough to find at drugstores, I get mine from Walgreens for about 3 bucks. A few drops of water and glycerin will not only be a non greasy solution once absorbed, it leaves a somewhat tacky film that enables me to deal...

Best bang for the buck... Right now the Dayton 10" #300-632 is on sale for $99.87 US + shipping. A lot of sub for the money. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshow...number=300-632 Upping the price bracket, you might check out SVS's site and see if what they offer is within budget...

Lanny, Did you check the screws holding the driver? If 1 is loose and you have a leak, you'll get an odd vibratto sound. Just place the sub on it's side while you play some LFE material and place your fingertip over each screw, you should be able to detect a change in tone if loose...

Well, I was wondering where you shopped as the prices I got from a quick Froogle on the speakers you were considering exceeded your quoted $750 - before shipping/etc. When I stated "spendy" concerning the E60 mains it was due to my glancing at the page and noticing a lot of vendors were...

Hmm, I'd like to know where you're shopping as the results I find on Froogle http://froogle.google.com/ are well beyond your quoted $750. The E series is supposed to be an upgrade to the N series, and yet below the discontinued S series in specs. You might consider S series components...

I'd say you made a good choice, you should be pleased with the amount of bass a "C" note bought you. I never thought a sub "that" important to DVD playback as my JBL's have 8" woofers and clean impressive sound. But adding the DLS has improved the HT experience considerably at a minimal cost...

*A friend without a HTF account asked me to post this for him* I have a few questions about DVDs and common phrases used to describe the content. At first the answers seemed straight forward, but then I realized how open to abuse they could be. First is there a governing body that...

Sorry Troy, considering your requirement of "floorshaking bass" and the open 20'x18'capeted room with high ceiling - the little Dayton is overmatched. At the $300 dollar mark you posted in your other thread, the answers you were given seem spot on. 1. Nope - not at $300. 2. Build your...

Well, considering the WAF factor, 4 JBL S26II's and a SCenterII should fit the bill and leave you enough cash for a fairly serious subwoofer. Phil Iturralde is the expert on JBL on the forum, and he runs the S26's with a SVS 25-31 if I remember right. Search to forums for his posts and...

Nice looking sub, glad the finish turned out so well for you.

It's been years, but there used to be a sealer that you could apply to the wood before staining(oil based) to limit the penetration of stain into thirstier areas of the wood - preventing/lessening blotches.

They did, it's now the #300-632. Everyone that bought one seems quite satisfied with the "bang for the buck" (including me.)

Considering your requirements for music/HT, try auditioning JBL's S38II. I also like a strong bass for music and my S38's have not let me down. Mids are not lacking to my ear, and during HT playback vocals are crisp, and cleanly blend into the overall audio experience. I am not using a...

You might consider JBL's S series while they are still available. JBL's S38II bookshelves make great mains though a tad large(they can serve as floorstanders if desired.) If space is limited, you could run 4 S26's for matching tonality and still be under budget. The SCenterII center...

Well, if it is a mostly musical setup, did you consider buying a pair of S38's and skip the center channel for now ? I'm running a pair of S38's without a center, and clear dialog has never been an issue. I also enjoy the 8" drivers and set my sub crossover low, and let my S38's fly - too...

If you bought the JBL S38's, I dont think you'd be dissapointed. You found a great price on them too. I spent $275US + shipping about a year ago and consider them worth every penny. Greg

Give a listen to the JBL S38's(45-20kHz)Though they're large for bookshelves, as these are meant to be your "mains" perhaps that isn't a problem. A bonus would be at their selling point, you have enough cash left for a SCenterII center channel.

Well, since you didn't specify used - if you use Froogle to search for variations on JBL S38 - etc, you'll find a few dealers still carrying the series 1 if the thumbnail pics are accurate. http://froogle.google.com/ Good luck, Greg

Since custom sub's were mentioned, perhaps steve's AV15 is an option you'd like to pursue. http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...hreadid=153986 Greg

Wow, 60/40 music/HT at high volume and not 1 mention of JBL S series ?!?! If you have the space - S38's for the mains, and S36/26 for your surrounds with a SCenterII should be perfect for your needs(5 year warrantee too)with a serious amount of change left. Search the forum for JBL's S...

I also thought my JBL's went pretty low (S38 @45Hz), and for music they're great - but for HT adding a sub "will" make a world of difference. If you have a small to medium sized room, I'd recommend the new DLS #300-632 from Parts Express. It's cheap at $125, and will provide you with a taste of...

You might consider using small "L" shaped brackets/hardware bolted to the stands only. Another would be to Google for museum wax/putty. Greg

You're welcome Frank, happy to do so. I'd love to see some numbers posted for this little beast :) Greg

You might want to audition a JBL Studio series setup. Browse the forum for S38, S36, or S26 bookshelves and a SCenterII center. The S38's are rather large and can serve as floorstanders if you like. Give them a listen and I'm pretty sure you'll like the price/performance ratio. Should also...

As this is a budget sub it's only appropriate that my setup is about as low buck as it gets I suppose. DVD/audio playback through a PC DVD setup to an old Fosgate DSL TWO receiver. Speakers are JBL S-38's (45-20Khz). The sub is corner loaded about 8 ft from listening position, room size is...

Is the auto on function of your 300-632 functioning? Mine appears to be broken. When mine arrived today it was set in auto so I cabled her up using the line level RCA inputs and...nothing. The light stayed red - no output. Switching the amp setting to "on" powered up the driver for testing...

GD = one who is damned by a particular variety of diety I think. Irregardless , just remember - Odin loves you.

Have you auditioned the JBL Studio series? Search the forum for the S38's and give them a listen before you spend your cash. 4 S38's and a SCenterII are well under 1k and should sound great for HT and music. While not considered "high end" I suppose, they deserve an audition considering your...

Here's to hoping so, mine should be here friday. I'll post impressions as soon as I can. Going to run a few techno tunes I have, "Techno Bass", "Atomic Dance Explosion" through it, but the rest of my music doesn't seem to reach deep enough for a sub to add much beyond what my S'38's...

Sale price was discontinued, back up to $125. Perhaps they'll offer them on Ebay like they did the original. Nice to hear SVS will be offering small subs in the near future, but the DSL's appeal was bang for the buck as it was "the" entry lvl sub to buy and last time I looked - SVS wasn't...
