I was leaning toward a couple of Toshiba models like the SD-4900. My room sports a $100 19" samsung TV sitting above my $700 sound system... I'm just getting tired of having to finish watching a movie in the living room when my crappy "Rowa" dvd player decides that even the lightest scratch on a...

how do you drive a subwoofer with a pro-audio amp using your receiver's standard RCA subwoofer output? Using something like the cheap Nady pro amp, which doesn't have an rca input, how would you get the subwoofer signal to the amp in the first place? Also, what type of problems have people...

yes Neil, just like the ones you have. Are yours pricey? I am also interested in the chair they have at circuit city. I wonder if it truly is quality or crap... The one in my circuit city's sound room was really comfortable. I wonder if that's the same chair. I'll have to go check it out next...

no... not quite. I was looking for something a little less bulky and fluffy and with a separate footstool with it.

you know... the slim leather recliners that look like modified office chairs... there's one in my circuit city's HT sound room. The only types of recliners I can seem to find look more ilke something I should stretch out and take a nap in.

the newest version of lspcad only has a demo of a different driver. Is there somewhere I can get the full version or the demo with the shiva as an example?

Yes, I also listened to the WM500 the other day at BB and noticed the exact same thing you did. I have owned a WM40 for about a month now after first listening to it in the exact same place the 500 is in now at BB. Although it has basic sound output characteristically near identical to the WM40...

I decided I'm definitely going with the PE 250W amp... especially since seeing Patman's directions. I'd like to have the sub tuned to around 20Hz, like you said, but I most definitely don't want to sacrifice too much spl just so I can feel 4Hz vibrations. I surely want it low and thunderous...

After thinking it over for the past couple of days... straight... I've decided I will probably build a sonosub with the Shiva and either build a duplicate sub with it or later on down the line. I just have a few variables to fill in before I decide what I will build. 1. Which Amp?: I was...

Stryke Amp Stryke SAE1204 The driver on that page is the Stryke Audio SAE1204 12" Woofer. I'm not too edumacated when it comes to those technical specs, but can anyone predict the quality that a vented sonotube would have with that woofer/amp combination? Has anyone heard anything about...

Since most sonotube subs aren't really convenient for attaching the standard parts express plate amps, which subwoofer amplifier do you/shoud you use for a standalone sonotube sub? Is there a subwoofer amp that doesn't have its internals exposed to be hidden in a traditional sub? For example...

After scrolling through the infamous "Sonotube Links Page," I still leave feeling overwhelmed and confused with all the complicated subwoofer craziness. If I mustered up around 300 bucks, what would be the components of the best sub I could throw together (preferably without having to construct...

I have a full budget KLH speaker system consisting of a $100 pair of KLH 9112B floorspeakers, along with the KLH center channel and surrounds which I raked in for a total of about $180. Now I don't consider myself an "audiophile" per se, but in my opinion, the KLH system sounds fine! I really...

Mains: KLH 9912Bs Center: KLH Surrounds: KLH 911Bs Sub: Sony SA-WM40 Receiver: Kenwood VR-6050 (a true "budget" system, but it still rattles my walls)

Well, the amp (vr-6050) has 6.1 capabilities, but the 6th channel for the single rear surround speaker [in addition to the subwoofer channel] is not powered. I already have 2 floors and a sub, but I intend to expand my system to include the center channel and three surrounds in the future. I...
