    Backyard party

    I had my first backyard party for my sons 3rd birthday last weekend. It was awesome as everyone was blown away by the H/T. I played all music DVD's like Fleetwood Mack, Rod Stewart and Grease. Nobody expected to see DVD to go along with the "soundtrack"! The only problem was that I had no...

    Questions on older Alpine 3523 amp.

    Thank you Denton. For now, this is my "sub system". Two Kicker 6x9 mid Bass speakers in this box http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=14942 driven by that 3523 Alpine amp and controled by a newer Alpine head unit with sub/pre out's. I figure I can hack the top off of this box and redo...

    Questions on older Alpine 3523 amp.

    I want to run an older Alpine 3523 2 channel amp for my subs but need help with the hook up. My questions would be; 1. Can I go RCA sub/pre out from my Alpine head unit and into the RCA in's on the 3523 and bypass the older style (molex?) input? 2. Can I "jump" a "remote on" wire from my new...

    ? Alpine head unit, amp & sub amp hook-up.

    I am installing an Alpine CDA-9805 head unit along with their MRP-F240 4 channel amp and have no problems here. My question would be regarding the hook-up of a Sub woofer amp. To bridge this amp I would run 1 RCA out of the Head unit (left) RCA Sub Out....and then what?? It seems they want me to...

    sacd & dvd-a basics question.

    I'm looking into buying Pink Floyd Dark Side of The Moon on sacd and Frampton Comes Alive! on dvd-a (when it comes out). My question is, will these play on my H/T system with a Sony NC-615 player. It does not play in sacd, so what will I get from the sacd disk, DD 2.0? I hope not! What will the...

    Frampton dvda

    Has Frampton Comes Alive! been released as a dvda yet? Cheap-cds does not have it. Also, is there any film/video that has ever gone along with this amazing live audio? Thanks, Mike.

    A Large Heavy Box Has Been Delivered . . .

    OOHHH BOY! Am I in trouble:laugh:. A large heavy box has been delivered this afternoon. How do I know this? Because my wife called me at work to "ask" if this "thing" was my new subwoofer. So I said, well, Ah, Ah, Ah . . . then I hung up. Has my PB1-ISD arrived??!!

    Partsexpress Budget Sub

    I have run both DLS Subs in my H/T. 13'x13' 7' ceiling and on a slab w/carpet & under pad. The original forward fire rear port was much tighter. The new down firing front port #300-632 is so much more "boomy." Both were used in the same good corner, but no matter how I place the new "632" it is...

    Question about in-wall speakers

    I'm using Sonance 622t for my main L&R and rear surrounds but they ran me $380 a pair. I wired before I sheetrocked and went with 5/8" board and glued it to the studs, then used a ton of 2" drywall screws. Check out their site sonance.com. They also have an awesome line of speakers in a lower...

    SVS ISDs in yet?

    Ron, I ordered a PB1-ISD on Monday 11/3 and haven't recieved it yet. I guess that it is also waiting on that ISD shipment? Thanks for keeping up the QC. I'd rather wait than get an inferior speaker put in my BEAUTIFUL new PB1 cabinet ;) Mike.

    Am I the Only One Waiting for a PCi?

    Ordered a PB1-ISD on Monday 11/3. It's a good thing i'm busy with two young sons, two full time jobs and a wife who pushes me hard and works even harder than I do, so weeks feel like days. Have I been waiting two whole weeks already?:laugh: At this rate, it should be here tomorrow. Hey, as long...

    Do you plug your precious subwoofer straight into the wall outlet?

    JimmyK Thanks. This is also good, useful info. QUESTION TO ALL: Do I want to plug my new SVS into the same surge protector as the rest of my H/T is on or, do I buy a dedicated protector for the Sub and plug it into the same outlet (20A two gang) as the other protector and H/T is on? Does it...

    Do you plug your precious subwoofer straight into the wall outlet?

    Lee-c Yeah, #10 back to the panel. Don't scare me like that:laugh:. 200 amp service with 34 breakers installed (most 20amp #10 wire) and grounded. With me working along side my electrician, it still cost me over $8,000. All of the old original wiring in the house is gone. EVERYTHING is on it's...

    Do you plug your precious subwoofer straight into the wall outlet?

    Good topic! My Home Theater system is run off of a 20 amp outlet, #12 wire back to the panel and a dedicated 20 amp breaker. I have a surge protector with my TV, DVD, Reciever (Yamaha HTR5560) and VCR pluged into this outlet. Shoud I plug my new (when it arrives) SVS PB1-ISD into the same surge...

    Thoughts on In Wall mounted speakers

    Shawn N, I went with Sonance 622t in walls for front L & R and rear L & R surrounds. My system is a compromise due to my wife, of descrete looks and high end. They work so well but I prepared my room for them during construction. Quality speaker cable, 5/8" sheetrock glued to 2x4 studs and many...

    What would you do?

    I went with the updated amp in the old cabinet. There was no floor model at the time I had to make a decission. I realised that the new "632" will be a dime a dozen and at least the old one looks better. Even though I love it, I think this sub might be the weak link in my system. I'll post again...

    What would you do?

    I the amp on my DLS tiny-mity (#300-630) went dead so I brought it back to the local speaker store where I bought it from and they said that they will send it out and get the new amp put in . .or . .they will give me an even trade for the new down fire/front port DLS (#300-632). I'm sort of...

    Who Knows Their SVS's?

    Thanks to everyone who responded. This decision is made, SVS! This one is not. Which one? Really the only thing that I have to decide is, 25-31PCi or PB1-ISD. It's a $$ thing, unless I see some better "B" stock SVS stuff. One other thing, DavidVT, why would one drive these subs with a lower...

    Who Knows Their SVS's?

    OK, so I have a dead DLS #300-630(original mity tiny). It was good for me and is still under warranty so I MIGHT keep it, but I think I want to shake the house a little harder. Question 1. Since I can only afford an entry level SVS, are my SVS choices limited to either the PB1-ISD 320w 12" box...

    New DLS or go Better??

    I now have the original 10" 100w DLS Sub sitting in my HT room with a dead Amp. I can go one of three ways here and need help. 1. Get the original DLS fixed. 2. Get the new DLS #300-632 "Tiny Mity" (downfire). or 3. How much would it cost me to out perform the new DLS #300-632? And what would...

    Frampton Comes Alive?

    Has there ever been any film that goes along with the Frampton Comes Alive album? I know that the CD was just remastered in 5.1 but I need DVD! I know it was recorded live at a few different venues, but that would not bother me on the TV screen. Thanks, Mike.

    First Post

    For some crazy reason, I'm addicted to Live Concert DVD. I have only Zeppelin "How the West was Won", Billy Squire "Live in the Dark" and The Eagles "Hell Freezes Over". Now my question is, what do you think this will bring me...
