What it seems everyone is saying is this is effectively an enclosed cabinet and I would agree, If indeed there can be a large effective vent to a MUCH larger space an IB may perform there. an IB needs at least twice the volume behind the driver (infinity) than the volume of the space...

Ifin you really going to spend that kind of money buy a seperate amp then it's 'bout features... generally speaking most feature sets are available even in the lowest form of a HT offering (sub 500). No amp/ht recv'r is going to really offer the power that a stand alone amp offers and...

outlaw or sherbourn amps Both Great Amps! http://www.sherbourn.com http://www.outlawaudio.com/home.html Free's you up for picking out recv'rs based on DAC's and features and not big $$ based upon power If you are into video weight the fundage there I'm an audio guy & that 30k...

Not familiar with your furnishings.... Check out the motion of the recliner (if they do) or the material the base frame is made of (wood hopefully) Two of my chairs I used a piece of HARDWOOD (oak etc.) screw'd into bottom frame to provide a mounting point. Series them up (in pairs)...

If this is on the top floor use the roof truss instead of the rafter... The other option would be to fashon a suspension system for the projector where some type of spring system holds the platform the projector rests upon. As opposed to hard fixing the projector itself. This...

Cory... You've got it down... _________________________________________________ Now lets not confuse thing's 'tho.... The 5.1 standard is a means of MASTERING audio. The engineer determines what "sound" meaning noise that goes to what channel. We've finally got a serious...

Grounding: As an IT guy as well I urge you to ground the rack so that the ground should terminate at the SAME ROD that your power grounds too. I can go on and on about "isolated" grounds but the cold hard (real) fact is that unless the power grounds gather at a single point a ground...

I havent seen seperate "adjustable" passive x-overs on ANY system (not that it's not possible) Many systems have "l-pads" that serve the purpose of attenuating a drivers responce to help bring differing sensitivities closer together ie: a tweeter with an spl of 93 to a driver with a...

Here's my wiring: I run in PAIRS that are series wired. (8ohm) then 2 pairs are parallel wired into an AudioSource 5.3 (presenting approx 4 ohm) So if by chance any "pair" fail the resistance LIFTS to 8 ohm as opposed to dropping below 4 ohm. This adds some protection to the amp...

Well what the Aura's are is a voice coil sans cone with a cork cap. When mounted the cork & coil attach facing the object (to be shaken)and the coil acts directly upon it. Of course there is more to it but thats the idea in simplicity. Don't see why a dremel to an old driver to remove...

Thanks for the responce. I'm looking for a repeater that does NOT cover the IR port on the reciever. Im using it as SOURCE for my zone equip and the Receiver is a seperate system. Which I do not wish to "block" the IR -OR- make another IR net for the reciever.... Guess then the...

I'll toss in a few... after some 5 years installed... Did'nt pre-wire for 7 channel. Did'nt think I'd want multi-zone. Should have wired in a few extra input feeds.... Things I did RIGHT: Output video & audio straight to the TV from the DVD so the kids can watch DVD's without the whole...

Thought about soundboard... Works way better than hat track... I generally put up soundboard then hat track then the rock. Sounds like your suituation. 5/8" all 'round Staggered stud wall is the best solution Soundboard & roc for your soffit work MDF is weighty stuff! Good...

Are the emmiters hard fixed to the components or can they mount to the surrounding cabnetry? Looking for a IR distribution system that does not have it's emmiters stuch to the hardware... Any ideas?

One consideration.... If'in you plan on doing any recording... - analog I mean... Reel or cassette etc... You'll need a digital AND analog interconnect! Run the optical/coax "dvd in" and also run a patch to "tape" or "aux" in so you can record from digital source to an analog...
