I was leaning toward a couple of Toshiba models like the SD-4900. My room sports a $100 19" samsung TV sitting above my $700 sound system... I'm just getting tired of having to finish watching a movie in the living room when my crappy "Rowa" dvd player decides that even the lightest scratch on a...

how do you drive a subwoofer with a pro-audio amp using your receiver's standard RCA subwoofer output? Using something like the cheap Nady pro amp, which doesn't have an rca input, how would you get the subwoofer signal to the amp in the first place? Also, what type of problems have people...

yes Neil, just like the ones you have. Are yours pricey? I am also interested in the chair they have at circuit city. I wonder if it truly is quality or crap... The one in my circuit city's sound room was really comfortable. I wonder if that's the same chair. I'll have to go check it out next...

no... not quite. I was looking for something a little less bulky and fluffy and with a separate footstool with it.

you know... the slim leather recliners that look like modified office chairs... there's one in my circuit city's HT sound room. The only types of recliners I can seem to find look more ilke something I should stretch out and take a nap in.

the newest version of lspcad only has a demo of a different driver. Is there somewhere I can get the full version or the demo with the shiva as an example?

Yes, I also listened to the WM500 the other day at BB and noticed the exact same thing you did. I have owned a WM40 for about a month now after first listening to it in the exact same place the 500 is in now at BB. Although it has basic sound output characteristically near identical to the WM40...

I decided I'm definitely going with the PE 250W amp... especially since seeing Patman's directions. I'd like to have the sub tuned to around 20Hz, like you said, but I most definitely don't want to sacrifice too much spl just so I can feel 4Hz vibrations. I surely want it low and thunderous...

After thinking it over for the past couple of days... straight... I've decided I will probably build a sonosub with the Shiva and either build a duplicate sub with it or later on down the line. I just have a few variables to fill in before I decide what I will build. 1. Which Amp?: I was...

Stryke Amp Stryke SAE1204 The driver on that page is the Stryke Audio SAE1204 12" Woofer. I'm not too edumacated when it comes to those technical specs, but can anyone predict the quality that a vented sonotube would have with that woofer/amp combination? Has anyone heard anything about...

Since most sonotube subs aren't really convenient for attaching the standard parts express plate amps, which subwoofer amplifier do you/shoud you use for a standalone sonotube sub? Is there a subwoofer amp that doesn't have its internals exposed to be hidden in a traditional sub? For example...

After scrolling through the infamous "Sonotube Links Page," I still leave feeling overwhelmed and confused with all the complicated subwoofer craziness. If I mustered up around 300 bucks, what would be the components of the best sub I could throw together (preferably without having to construct...

I have a full budget KLH speaker system consisting of a $100 pair of KLH 9112B floorspeakers, along with the KLH center channel and surrounds which I raked in for a total of about $180. Now I don't consider myself an "audiophile" per se, but in my opinion, the KLH system sounds fine! I really...

Mains: KLH 9912Bs Center: KLH Surrounds: KLH 911Bs Sub: Sony SA-WM40 Receiver: Kenwood VR-6050 (a true "budget" system, but it still rattles my walls)

Well, the amp (vr-6050) has 6.1 capabilities, but the 6th channel for the single rear surround speaker [in addition to the subwoofer channel] is not powered. I already have 2 floors and a sub, but I intend to expand my system to include the center channel and three surrounds in the future. I...

I have the Kenwood Vr-6050 with the pre-amp 6th channel for the single rear surround speaker. What should I get for my powered rear surround? It seems like there is little market for a cheap rear surround. I don't want to spend too much... I want to keep it under $130, so what are my options?

On the boxes for digital audio cables, it says "increased clarity and audio detail"... does this hold true for the 2 channel versions? Will there be digital special effects for my subwoofer channel? I plan on expanding to 5.1 and maybe adding the powered speaker for 6.1 in the future, but for...

I have a Kenwood VR-6050 5.1 receiver with 2 floor speakers and a subwoofer hooked up to it. It sounds pretty good now, but my dvd player is connected with my analog audio/video cables. Would it make a difference in sound if I upgraded to an optical/digital coaxial cable even though I only have...

thanks for the advice... I was actually thinking it over last night while flipping through this week's best buy ad and decided I'd probably get the Kenwood 6050 since they're on sale for 250. - only 100 bones more than my KLH. I was searching through yahoo and I found a multi-user post...

Maybe a better question for me would be what is the difference!?! I purchased a KLH R-5100 receiver last week and... well... at least it lasted a full week. Earlier on today, since running some frequency tests off my computer using the NCH tone generator, its output has distorted bass, lowered...

I just received my SA-WM40 today from hypeaudio.com for $149.94 shipped. This sub is the shiznit! (especially for 150 bones) The only complaint I have about the sub is that it's rattling some blasted loose board-crap in my wall!!! Does anyone know what I should do about that? For the moment, the...

you guys took my question too seriously... which is a good thing... but I was just curious about my subwoofer's far-future upgrade possibilities and was definitely not intending on taking on such a detail critical and involving project like transplanting a subwoofer any time soon. I didn't know...

Is it an easy operation to replace the drivers of a powered home subwoofer? How would you know what would be compatible with your particular amplifier and if it would sound good? Can subwoofers designed for cars be used in place of the paper-coned drivers in home subs?

First of all, that is the coolest drawing I have ever seen in my life... with that out of the way, I have no idea why you would not move your tv out of the corner. With such a high quality television, there would be no excuse not to arrange it in the proper viewing position (which would be under...

I download almost all of my music and I think it's safe to say that some of the junk I get off Kazaa is... well... less than CD quality. All of my mp3s are encrypted at 128 or higher, but some of the worst tracks are distorted as if they were ripped off of a video-taped episode of TRL... using a...

I just put in my order for the SA-WM40 from hypeaudio.com

so, what do you think steve? should I settle for the WM40 as an alternative to the "mighty DLS from parts express"? keep in mind that I am looking for cheap, ridiculously too loud for my small bedroom bass.

I found them online at hypeaudio.com for about $150 shipped. I was going to order them later on today if nobody advised me otherwise.

I recently decided to buy a new stereo for my room with the intentions of creating a louder music and movie environment consisting of a KLH 5.1 receiver and 2 KLH floor speakers (I know... not the most quality or elaborate setup, but hey... being a 10th grader without a job has its setbacks!) I...
