I'm not locked into 15" or anything, just saw you recommend that in another thread. If you think I could get more out of a different 12" set up don't hesitate to let me know! That TC-3000 build looks awesome though, those subs are huuuge, but I'm at the point where I'm just like screw it...

Ok, measured the room, its 5.5m long by 4.8m wide by 3.4m high. Now I know that sounds big but like I said before the room is open plan so the kitchen doesn't need to be filled with sound just the area in front of the tv. @Robert_J: Step 1 - Willing to sacrifice a bit of space, did some...

Wow that is a fair amount of sub power you have there. Some of those subs look awesome. I'm now leaning towards building a new sub first and then focusing on the other speakers. There is just so much choice out there and my knowledge is so limited that it's difficult to seperate the good...

Whoa the sub in that pic looks amazing :D. I've been able to find JBL and alpine here, but given it's not that much more expensive for me to get the TC here including shipping might just consider that...especially given I'm probably gonna have to ship a amp here anyway. Rofl, 2 of those...

Thanks! I'm actually really excited about starting to put together some speakers. I'm looking at designs all over the place, some of those ones on parts-express look awesome! Also just took my first step towards proper home entertainment, ordered a Oppo BDP-93, couldn't resist it. Bought...

Wow, just had a better look at that link and there are some awesome designs there, I have actually been looking for more projects to take on to keep myself busy and it looks like speaker building might become a little addiction of mine :P I'm already planning builds. @Robert_J: I can find...

I do have a interest in building them myself as a bit of a hobby, just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to bite off more than I can chew and make a mess of things. I have used 18mm MDF before and it's fairly cheap. That's ever so slightly thinner than 3/4" but I imagine it will work the...

Hey guys cheers for all the replies, really appreciate it. I have been browsing around the forums and have noticed a few people building their own subs and saving quite a bit. I have been thinking this could work double well for me in that I am going to have to buy stuff from the US anyway...

Thanks guys this is already really helpful. I'm starting to lean towards saving for the Oppo. If it means I can use my current reciever right off the bat and then have something that I imagine will last ages. I should also mention that I live in New Zealand, so while I really wish I could...

Hi all, first post so I hope I don't come off too terribly ignorent. Like the title says I want to put together a nice HT setup, however I can't just drop the kinda cash to put it all together at once :P. The good news is I have alot of components already so hopfully I can use what I have...
