I need the PDF for the "sealed box enclosures" i was at the adire website and was unable to d/l it. If anyone can help me out that would be great. My e-mail is [email protected] thanks

Hope you guys can help, The last movie i watched was War of the Worlds (few days ago). My amp (Detonation DT300 Plate amp) worked fine. I went to turn it on tonight and nothing. Now the rocker switch has auto on/off. When everything was working correctly the red led glows steady when in the off...

Thanks guys. I appreciate the imput. so generally speaking, any Quiet PC fan will do the trick if i ended up purchasing an amp with a fan?

Jim thanks for the imput. The "k" series is alittle pricey, still looking around, but without being able to listen to them, i'm not sure how loud the fans actually are. Ps, Just curious, but what do you consider to be "real bass"?

I'm waiting for my AV12's to arrive (acoustic elegance), so i'm shopping around for an amp to power them. I'm going to make two seperate enclosures. My design will not accomodate a plate amp. So i'm going to need a dedicated amp to drive them both. I was looking at the Crown K1 from SVS,looks...

Eric, I'll consider it. I might have the perfect spot for an IB. It's a halfwall/landing on the top of my stairs,it's going to be the same wall the tv will be on after i remodel. I'll post some pics with measurements tomorrow then you can tell me if it will work. Rory, These HE series...

Guys, Sorry, but i've not checked this post for a few days as i thought it was dead(no replys) Darren, Thanks for the pic, very helpful. Glad to hear it's an improvement over your tempest. Considering i have the same sub i'm looking forward to the improvement. I'm going to have to d/l a...

This is my situation. I currently have an Adire Alignment tempest in a ported 214l enclosure. I have grown tired of the big box in my livingroom and was wondering if i built 2 subs using the Av12's in smaller boxes if i would get equal or greater output. It would be used 75% for HT,25%Music...

Incredible job man! You must be proud!!!That's what DIY is all about.

thanks everyone, Emmett, I have noticed the same thing. Futureshop had a couple of CD's by a variety of artists that on the back had the DD symbol. I wasn't sure if they were SACD's or what? They were just mixed in with the regular CD's. I have yet to find anything with the SACD/DVD-A label on...

I live in Vancouver,BC. i have been to my local A&B sound,Futureshop,Walmart,HMV,etc and can't seem to find any. There is a wide selection of DVD Videos but that's it. Has anyone ran into this? Where does everyone get their DVD-A/SACD's up here? I have yet to hear one and i'm curious to say the...

Thanks everyone for their input. As i only have the one component i will leave it directly connected to my tv.

I'm unclear of the benifits/drawbacks of hooking my dvd player to my reciever,then to my tv. Currently i am running my component video directly from my dvd player to my tv. What is the benifit of running it through my reciever first?. Thanks Curt

I don't have an SPL meter yet, but i watch movies at a fairly high volume level and the Spires seem to handle them fine. Everything below 90hz goes to my sub. Not having a meter i can't say how close to reference level i watch movies, but i wouldn't want to watch them much louder. I'm going to...
