    Why does my sub pop now and then?

    My sub also pops randomly. Although it's not completely random. When I've got a fan plugged into an electrical outlet that's on the same circuit as the sub (even in a different room), the sub will pop every time I turn the fan on/off... you might want to check if you have other electrical...

    I got an email from the president of Nuance!

    Are you the same taylorWC that registered all of 10 days ago for the sole purpose of trying to pimp your new nuance speakers in this thread and then didn't bother to show your name again until now, where you are calling other members children? Why, yes, I think it IS you! Listen, I'm not...

    Total Cost for Tempest Sub?

    Zachery, you may want to check out this thread from one year ago. Coincidentally, it was started by another of our younger DIYers, actually, the same age as you, and his room dimensions are identical to yours. A lot of useful info in that thread that you may find helpful in your project.

    Ghost in the Shell: Special Edition where to buy in Canada?

    Feb 8th, eh? Any reason why the States gets it so much earlier? Personally, I'd get it just for the DTS Japanese track, which should be much better than the stereo Japanese soundtrack on the original DVD.

    Ghost in the Shell: Special Edition where to buy in Canada?

    I understand the Ghost in the Shell Special Edition DVD was released on Tuesday (Jan 11th, 2005), but I can't seem to find it at any of the local stores (Future Shop, Best Buy, Wal Mart) or their websites (futureshop.ca, bestbuy.ca). I could only find it as an IMPORT on amazon.ca... Did I...

    Any Edmontonians have/hear SVS!

    Brad (and anyone else considering DIY), you don't need to be a professional carpenter to go the DIY sub route. This past summer I contstructed an Adire Alignment Tempest with a plate amp in roughly three days. I started on the Friday morning of a long weekend, picked up some wood and glue at...

    Matrix box set shaping up

    It must be the new default FBI warning for WB DVDs because I noticed the Smallville Season 3 discs have the same VHS quality warning.

    What would you have done?

    Not considering specific provincial/state laws to the contrary, I think this is a common misunderstanding. The process of making a retail purchase is the creation and acceptance of a contract. When a store puts a product on the shelf and labels it with a price, that is merely an offer to...

    Help! No Bass

    Trade the sub in. I had the VX-10 for a week. I had the same problems. I thought for sure something was wrong with my system as I could not get any bass! I pretty much had to max gain on the sub amp, turn sub pre-out to +12 (Denon 2802), and corner load it before I got any decent bass. Even...

    Lining a sub with foam

    Aaron, Just wondering how that turned out for you. Did you notice an improvement with the lining? Have you also tried it with stuffing?

    Will bass boost be a problem?

    I appreciate the response, Kyle. I knew the boost would affect the response, but I wasn't sure if it'd be good or bad. I'll take your advice and pick up the regular version to see how it sounds first. If I decide to mod it, hopefully CSS will provide the details.

    Will bass boost be a problem?

    Hi all, I'm seriously considering building my own subwoofer for movies and music. I'll probably go with an Adire driver and use the corresponding Adire Alignment enclosure, but what amp to get? I'm looking at the new SUB250R series sub amps over at Creative Sound Solutions. The regular...

    Paradigm Monitor-7 vs Monitor-9

    I'd like to chime in for the 9s. I compared them to the 7s when I was shopping for my first pair of floor standers and found the 9s better in terms of bass, lower extension, not boomy, and mids, which seemed a little more effortless than the 7s. Here's a quote from the AudioRevolution Monitor 9...

    Best Sub under $200?

    I had the VX-10 in my system for about a week before I returned it. It's a great little sub and I found it really added another dimension to movies and music. However, I felt it was a little lacking for my large concrete room. At only 100 watts rms, I could hear it begin struggling at...

    That annoying "pop" on my Anthem amp

    Thanks for the responses guys. Mike is absolutely right, the pop occurs even when I have NOTHING but the speakers attached to the amp, so it's not a volume or even a receiver thing. I did send that email to Anthem, the response I got was that it was normal. The tech did provide a technical...

    That annoying "pop" on my Anthem amp

    There's this annoying "pop" that I get on my speakers everytime I turn on my Anthem MCA 2 series II amp. I've had the amp for almost two years now and it's ALWAYS been happening. It seems to be pretty random, sometimes it's only in the left speaker, sometimes only in the right, sometimes both...
