Thanks!

I'm about to add the rear surround speakers to my set up and have a placement question. I went to the dolby site and used their recomendations for the angles at which to place speakers but still have a question about the rears. My room is long enough that when I follow their recomendations, the...

thanks!

Thanks Neil!

Thanks for the suggestion although I don't think that is in the budget right now. I have about a twenty foot run and currently have a 25' s-video cable. Would there be any advantage to running a component one? Or should I just stick with the s-video for cable? I think I could make 20' work but...

I'm about to pull the trigger on a HD1000 and have a cabling question. I'm planning on running an HDMI cable directly to my Oppo 970 but I'm wondering about the other source. Right now my receiver (Yamaha 659) does component upconversion but besides the Oppo, all I'm running is a VCR and analog...

Thanks for the suggestion Neil. I whish I had the knowledge to attempt a similar repair. My problem was a loud low rumble that would start a few minutes after powering on and then would continue even if there was no signal going to it. This is totally off topic but how does that black front...

Thanks for the help! I guess now I need to take some closer measurements to make sure that driver will fit.

Sorry bad editing. What meant to ask is if you felt the difference in Xmax between the TC-1000 and the the db-500 was worth the extra $45? Also, I'm with you and planning an IB to replace this sub with. I'm thinking of starting with 2 Ficarudio 18" drivers with the potential to go to 6. Have you...

So it sounds like I would not get really any more extention but maybe more spl? The room it is in now is about 2700 cu/ft. and I do have another 10 passive sub that I just bought the 300 watt BASH amp for that I'm planning on co-locating with it. In the future, when this sub moves to the living...

I'd have to pull it apart for sure but I think they were about 6 inches. The owners manual says the freq. response is from 24-150hz. I think I was hitting a little lower with the help of a house curve by the BFD but I think it was droping off pretty quick after 22. Thanks again!

Thanks for all the help. I'll study that PDF. The enclosure is approx. 1.6 cu/ft has a front firing 12" 4 ohm driver and two 2" ports in the rear. It also about a 14x14" piece of pink insulation. I measured the resistance of the driver at 3.8 ohms on my DMM. Eventually, I'm planning an IB sub...

Thanks again for all the help. I was able to pull the sock up and remove the driver. I still don't know if there are multiple voicecoils but there are only one set of terminals for the driver. The + cable splits into to leads so you end up with 1 neg and 2 positive connections to the PSB amp. I...

Thanks for the responses! I'll see if I can pull the driver tonight although that may require ruining the cloth cover. It does not have a standard grill cover. I have a couple of questions based on your responses: The amp is sitting on my porch and I'm still at work so I haven't seen the...

My PSB Subsonic III has had its second amp go bad and I can't seem to get any help from PSB so I'm coming here for advice. A new plate amp from parts express is arriving today and I have a couple of questions. When I took the old amp out there were 3 wires coming out of the seal chamber. 1 black...
