You have 2 options, and rigging an RCA cord to the subwoofer inputs is NOT one of them. 1) Buy active subwoofer 2) Get something to serve as a subwoofer amp. You can use an old stereo receiver.

Hook it to an ohm meter to confirm that it has infinite DC resistance. If so, it is safe to use.

Radio Shack (of all places) makes a small battery powered phono preamp that is dead quiet and highly regarded by some hardcore audiophiles, and its cheap. Even if your receiver does have a phono input, you might want to give this a try (but don't use it with a phono input or else you'll have 2...

Its only in the chain for the sub. It works in the digital domain, and microprocessors are cheap electronics. To know if it would help you, you need to plot pure sine wave SPL against frequency from about 20 to 100. If thats nice and flat at your favorite listening position, then you don't need one.

Sorry, you cannot do this. No line level crossover, no biamp.

The answer is obvious and has already been mentioned twice- a BFD. This upgrade will cost less than some of you cables and have a huge impact.

I would take issue with this statement. Neither dynamic range nor output (above 80 Hz)are really related to the box volume, which is the only difference between towers and bookshelves (presuming woofer diameter is the same). Book shelves exist that are flat to 60-70 Hz, and the sub takes care of...

Your way better off than most. I would be satisfied with that for movies. Bassy music would benefit slightly by flatening that out. I assume these are pure sine waves ? Warbles will make the curve look better than it is.

"C" stands for common. So, the "in" and one of the commons go to the posts on the back of the box. Make sure you know which post goes to C for each box so you don't end up with a phase problem. Then the other three commons go to your drivers (one each) on the unmarked lugs. The marked (or +) lug...

Or take a look at the second bit on this list. These MLCS bits are great quality. miter lock bit for 3/4 thickness on 1/4 shank

The best way is to veneer before cutting the recess, but it is too late for that. If your through hole and recess have already been done, and you have a rebate bit, then veneer over the hole, rough cut the veneer with a sharp knife, then run the rebate bit set shallow to trim the veneer. If this...

I don't think you are going to find nice rosewood in 4x8 sheets. In fact, the 4x8 sheets are mostly ordinary stuff- maple, cherry oak etc. The best place to purchase interesting veneer by far is Ebay in my experience.

Better than decent I would say. It looks like real HD even though some pixels are missing. If the budget won't allow a 1280x720 machine, then the 4805 is an option. Sports look great.

I assume this is for the sub which is a single mono signal. The Yamaha receiver has a sub out RCA jack. Plug a single rca cable into this. You can use one half of a pair. Plug the other end into the adaptor, and plug the adaptor into the carvin input #1. Depress the bridge switch. With this...
