    HELP my RPTV died?

    Bob, I just found out my warranty ends in 9 days. Just gave the company a call and mentioned my problem. I have to call back when at home for a tech to try and tell me some things to try over the phone before they will send out a tech. I have little faith that is was a one-time fluke, so I...

    HELP my RPTV died?

    Sorry Bob, 5 year old Mitsu VS4543, 45" RPTV. Screen was back and working this morning, but I im no way confident that "all is fine". I was left plugged in all night too. Any ideas as to what could cause this?

    HELP my RPTV died?

    In the middle of Spongebob, the video signal went out. I thought it was part of the show and I was waiting for Spongebob to open his eyes, but nothing. Sound is working perfectly. It went out of extended warranty two months ago. What is this going to cost me???

    Outside Cable junction box

    I agree with Rob. My cable comes right into my basement utility closet, and I can snip, spilt or do whatever I want to it. Same goes for my phone.

    Any pics of "stylish" grills for my IB?

    I had used white grill cloth to match my ceiling. It goes over a rectangular port. I will have to try masonite or something for a very thin grill.

    Any pics of "stylish" grills for my IB?

    I just used grill cloth on 1/2 pine painted white, and rounded over on the edges, and it sticks out too much and is not very appealing. How thin can it be made, and got any pics?

    Sony HT in Box "Protect" Mode

    My friend came over the other day and was telling me he was having problems with his Sony HT in a box, where if he turns the volume up, it shows "Protect" mode and gets no sound. I don't own any Sony receivers, and am too far away to stop over. Anyone have any ideas, because he is ready to...

    How can I improve my speaker placement?

    Rears are pointing right at me, but I know the front position is sub-par (height is fine). The equipment has to be on that wall too.

    Cheap ~50ft sub cable

    Why not use RS RG6 quad shield coax and some connectors. That is what I did and it works fine. I had a roll of the cable, so it cost me about $5 in connectors.

    How can I improve my speaker placement?

    Here is a link to the IB forum, with the top photos of my setup. Got any ideas how I could improve things? Space is so tight. Thanks.

    Hooke up my new IB in my attic

    I wired it to just one voice coil, and am therefore running it at 8ohm. I think it is ample, but for the simplicity of adding another driver, I just have to. I was expecting things to shake, and the crap in the attic to be dancing around, but it is nothing like that. I have the baffle right...

    Hooke up my new IB in my attic

    What can I say. I have not even played with any levels, and it just is far superior than my old sub. It just give a nice, fuller sound, even at low volumes. I could not be happier with it, and my wife has no complaints because it is hidden. Just have to order another driver and take some...

    Hook up both coils for my IB?

    I am confused on one thing regarding RDO. If I cannot pick up the POT that I need, should I just short the second coil, or leave it open? I understand that with a POT, I can nearly double the Qts, to get what I want, but will running just one coil and leaving the other open, be way...

    Refurbished DeWalt 621 routers for $150 again at Amazon

    You should take a look at the Ryobi 1 3/4hp plunge router. I picked one up at Home Depot for $99 since my fixed base router needs repair and I did not want to wait or pay $75 just for them to look at it. I was going to get the Porter Cable 2hp plunge for $200 but they were out of stock. I...
