sorry here goes, i have a Denon 3802 receiver, B&W DM600 series speakers all round, A Hitachi "Illumina" projector and a Polk Audio 12" 450w subwoofer. My room measures 6 metres x 3 metres and the sub is not doing the job too well at the moment. It is a great sounding sub but i need more...

so you guys reckon the JBL's i really want to shake stuff off the shelves so should 2 15" JBL's be fine?

u sure about those JBL's cos here in South Africa the Pioneers get much louder than the JBL's and handle a lot more power

can u guys perhaps recommend a 15" car audio sub from eg. JBL that will do the job much better

this must be wrong because when i play music in my car the sub can clearly be seen coming out atleast an inch at moderate levels

Hi guys I'm planning on building a sonosub but i am limited to certain woofers and won't be able to get Adire Audio subs at all unless there is someone who can bring one or two to South Africa :) (i will pay all customs, tax etc) The brands i can get a hold of are all car audio subs so i...

Hi Oops, sorry my mistake, This sub enclosure is going to be built for a car.

I take it no one likes Rockford Fosgate :-( Just kiddin Please guys, Any input would be appreciated

Hi folks I was hoping you guys could give me an idea of how big a box i should build and what size port for my 2 new subs (Rockford Fosgate P212S8). I listen to deep house and the odd hip-hop listen so i need tight, accurate bass that will knock me out. I want a ported cos i need quite a high...

ooops, my bad! i meant 16:9 (i was still waking up) the PJ-TX10 sounds promising and i can get it at a good price so i hope there are others who have had good results with it

I have finally saved up the bucks to buy a projector and after doing my research and reading reviews I have narrowed it down to these: 1. Hitachi PJ-TX10 (Illumina) 2. Infocus 4805 3. Panasonic AE500 I will be watching mainly DVD's on the PJ (Zone 2 PAL discs) and i watch a lot of movies...

Hi Could someone who is well experieced with using the WinISD program please help explain some of the graphs used when modelling a speaker. Please tell me what the graphs are for and how they should look or how the curves are supposed to look when modelling a sub. The graphs are : 1.Transfer...

Hi After having done a lot of reading I want to build a diy sub. Here in South Africa finding 8ohm drivers is very hard but I have come across these. What do you guys think? will they be any good and in what type of enclosure should i put them to get the lowest F3. Size of the box i will be...

I just purchased an Infocus DLP projector but when watching movies i notice a rainbow effect on the image which is being displayed and it gets very annoying and movies aren't enjoyable. Is there a way to fix this? I have tried using both the S-video and RCA video inputs but nothing has helped...

Hi I purchased a single stand for normal speakers and it works perfectly even though the center speaker is huge. I've got a B&W LCR 600 and even this beauty balances firmly. Chris

Hi Are there any other specs I should look out for? Will I be able to use a car amp hooked up with a step down transformer because plate amps are very expensive and rare here in South Africa. Thanks Chris

Hi I'll get specs of a few car drivers that are available to me but what specs should I look at eg. should the fs be low, high, should the spl be high or low, should the xmax be high? etc. Which brands would you recommend? Pioneer, Kenwood, Infinity, JBL, Earthquake, JL Audio, Sony, Hertz...

Here's some specs on it: Model:The G12K-85 Size:12” Power:85 Sens:99 Freq Hz:80-5.5k Use:Tight responsive sound Inc Vat:£53.00 Chris

Hi Update: I just found out that the Celestion drivers are used for guitar subs.(this model) but would it still be appropriate for the enclosure I want to build? (for home theater) Chris

Hi I can't get hold of any drivers for home use except for Celestion 12" drivers (model no: G12k-85) and tons of car subs (almost all of them except for Adire) You guys say I can only start building the enclosure once I have the drivers but can't I build it so long because all that needs to be...

Hi Yup its gonna be 600 LITRES. I want all the bass i can get. I have'nt chosen drivers for it yet but what do you guys think? 2 12" or 2 15"? What specs on the drivers should I look out for? .eg. Should the driver have a high SPL and XmaX? Another question: So for car sub you would want a...

Hi These holidays I'm planning on building a coffee table sub. It's gonna be about 600(litres) and I want it to go down to 15Hz. I'm planning everything on WinISD but I was wondering if the plot should be smooth, flat or what? I want to use it for movies to get a hell of a lot of bass out of...

Hi I tried the headphone out and adjusted the volume to full but it still doesn't play loud. Any other ideas? Chris

Hi Thanks for all the help and ideas guys. I figured that for now I'll put a few absorbing panels on the walls in all the first reflection points and throw a few bean bags into the room for now to see if it sounds any better. Is absorbtion really more critical for home theater than music? Chris

Hi I have just purchase a Panasonic portable cd/mp3 unit but I connected it up to my Denon 3803 amp via the line out and the sound is much softer than when I play music through my regular cd player through the same amp. How can I get the volume up (maybe a better cable?) Chris

Hi How would you use and couple up an equilizer like that and how much will one pay for such an equilizer?

Hi Thanks for the replies guys. The tiled floor is not completely covered in carpet. I will be trying a few of the methods above to treat the room. I'll try adding a few plants, bookshelves and experiment with thick foam on the walls. Chris
