These are some pretty amazing towers. They use Dayton drivers and are loud enough to take down the roof. the dual 8" MTM cabinets have plenty of bass to support any movie, but we couldnt just stop there. Below the mains cabinets sit two 2 cubic foot subwoofer enclosures designed for use with a...

all I have is an innacurate table saw (10" craftsman) and a home made router table (fixed base) and I was pretty easily able to add solid oak trim to veneer MDF with wonderful results.

good question. bummer things werent able to work out, I see now why you wanted one of the three maple countertops they sell. I have no idea why maple has different supply/demand characteristics than oak. I would think they would be the same as well! Check this site out, I was impressed...

southern lumber in san jose has the plywood, as does aura hardwood off phelan (also san jose). quite frankly, home depot has maple ply as well. does it need to be solid maple? and the next question becomes why?

a shame you are on a comparitive budget, I was going to say parthenon for a subwoofer. I cant think of a more appropriate small theater to use the beast. you might contact Dan Wiggins though, he might be willing to work with you to build what should promise to be a fantastic theater.

I plan to run dayton 8's for my home theater personally. they cost about $80 in parts (without cabinets) so they are cheap enough for me to build three for the stage, they play low enough for me not to need a subwoofer, and can take enough power to blow me away at high volumes. all I need ot...

skimp on the speakers, its really easy to find mid-fi speakers for an entry level budget. how easy is it to find a large TV that isnt grainy and choppy for a limited budget? some options are dayton 8's http://www.wadsnet.com/~dtenney/dayton_8MTM.htm some sigma horns...

A DVC subwoofer exists to give you more wiring options for whatever amplifier you wish to purchse. Thus, that 4 ohm DVC subwoofer can be used on a general 8 ohm amp found everywhere, or if you happen to stumble upon a 2 ohm amp somewhere, you could use that instead. You wouldnt be *stuck*...

id love to know some of those methods for cramming so much boxvolume into such a small area! that sounds almost too good to be true, .5 in the kick. so they must expand out into aeas outside the kick then? like the underdash? the footwell? into the frame of the car in the kick? its a neat concept

just trying to give him a direction to go. ;) seems he is a bit misguided or not guided at all, that he is running on the concept that more speaker will equal better sound, or heard on an audio forum or in a mag someone was running "midbass support" or other terms that have been thrown around...

a frankenstein component set is nothing to shake a stick at. It can get comlicated! For a beginner, active processing is an absolute must. This will allow you to try many crossover points and even slopes for some crossover models. I find it nice to purchase a unit that lets me choose different...

I've always been a fan of www.installdr.com. but it's geared for how to take a stock radio out. the fact is, to replace an aftermarket radio with another aftermarket radio is cake. If you dont want to buy the tool, all you have to do is drive around to an install bay somewhere (we always...

I figured as much, for the use. its funny, the timing. I discovered just three days ago that the 235 would be perfect for my needs and that I wanted it as a reciever, and now here it is. Something that also might work out would be if you have a buddy or coworker who happens to be in the...

I am very interested in this unit. However, I am waiting on some equipment of my own. Unless you are willing to trade for a high current car amplifier or an insane 12 volt processor built by altomobile (each of which is worth more than you are asking for your reciever) I need to release these...

if you havent purchased parts, I asked my GF about it last night. apparently there are shelving units you can buy that use steel rod that insert into your wall, then the shelf slidts onto that. now, in case you cant find anything like htat, how hard could it be to build it yourself! you could...

if you dont mind doing a bit of work, something I can imagine would turn out absolutely amazing would be to remove a small section of drywall to mount a true floating shelf. the drywall gone would let you really get a secure mount and simplify running cabling inside the walls. If one were really...

I am looking for a DVD player. my video requirements are pretty simple, the plan as it is now is to run component out to my reciever. But I would prefer a DVD player that will decode the signal itself, so that I may use the 5.1 analog outputs themselves as reciever inputs for movies, rather than...

car will never achieve the same quality of sound as a room. I will base this entirely on noise floor. its just too high in a car to compete. the equipment can be just as good, and for every $900 home audio speaker you can find, you can find a $900 car audio speaker. comparing raw drivers, of...

I dont recall offhand the conversion of distance to time, but you cna use the speed of sound (google) to easily convert the units. but if I do recall correctly, the distance should be rather extreeme at 80 ms. even considering the increase in delay you might need for the tweeters compared to...

Bummer. I appreciate the heads up

so what you are saying, basically, is that if I bought this pioneer unit, is that I would be paying "premium" for a 7 channel amplifier, a 7 channel preamp, and all the other featres, and would only be able to use it as a 5 channel preamp and 5 channel amplifier? remember, I am not looking for 7...

in that case, how does the multi channel input work concerning speaker routing for the 7 channel amplifier versus only having 6 channels of input? are the rear surround amplifier channels fed signal from a selectable source from within the pioneer unit, front or surround, or is it front only...

what is the difference between analog and multi channel? I had assumed each input if it had a seperate input for the reciever, and each output from the dvd-a player (looking at the cambridge 540), labeled per channel, were simple sine wave analog outputs am I wrong?

it does, very much. but does the 1014 have analog inputs? I can get around my issues with the 1014 crossover by simply using external processing, but only if I can use the 1014 as a preamp+amp, and disable all processing. I see on the website it has 8 inputs. does this mean individual line...

I am in planning stages for my HT while building the cabinets for speakers, and am trying to conceptualize the signal chain I will use. I am looking at the cambridge 540 dvd player at this time, but I may decide to go with a different unit. regardless, the plan is to run a 6 channel RCA cable...

my best advice, having only limited understanding, is to make sure your speakers will be designed to work well on or off axis, depending on which directoin the drivers will be facing during play. I'd have to spend so much time making perfectly flush wall mounted drivers to have the whole...

wierd, with the smaller enclosure, nothing helped. Increasing enclosure size didnt help at all either, but the notch filter actually worked when I used this enclosure. I'm still kinda scratching my head.

I just realized an hour after I posted this I didnt know the source of the anomaly. Its a passive filter I am trying to build, But I can't be sure of what is causing it. the speaker as it is right now sits only five or six inches above a hard surface. It could be floor bounce, but not from...

Ive got these nasty peaks at 250 Hz. So, I simply set about making a notch filter to smooth out the peak. Unfortunately, 400 Hz is rather sensitive, and I want to maximize LFE if I can. (this is the reason I havent just used a highpass filter) Using the parallel notch filter equasions, Ive come...

If you enjoy the Pop Culture works of David Lynch, you may wish to try experiencing his more accurately surrealist works, where he was free from Hollywood, the standards of society, and the demand to make money to explore real avenues of his surrealist ideals. You can find these...
