The mortgage busines has kept me so busy for the last year I haven't kept up with the latest and greatest subs. I'm wondering how my Stryke Dual HE15/6 p.r. sub, with each v.c. getting 1,250 watts from a Crown K2 amp, with a Behrenger Feedback Destroyer Pro for e.q. still rates. I see SVS...
I need to listen. John is right. I didn't realize how close AV is - 30 minutes away. Tyson with his RM40s is only 10 minutes away from AV. Wayne from Bolder Cables is on 5 minutes from my house. We need to get these speakers together. I have no doubt the RM 40s are everything that's written...
Thanks for the replies. I've heard the setup can be a pain. I don't really feel like taking out and putting in putty. If this was for a dedicated 2 channel setup I'd want to get the last 10% out of any speaker. The overall height of the RM40's is also a problem. I have beautiful bookcases behind...
Tyson has offered to allo me to come over and listen. He is actually the person that decided against using the RM40's in his H.T., he likes his nOhr's better. Wayne (Bolder Cables) has offered a listen to his 626r's. I would think the 626r's would even have a worse vertical dispersion probles...
I have one of the most powerful WHOMPING subs know to man. A Stryke DUAL HE15 300 pound monster. This is powered by a Crown K2 amp a eq'd by a Behringer Feedback Destroyer Pro I don't really need the low end power of the RM40. Mid range on up is the most important. I wonder how 5 RS750's in a...
I realize we have a big difference in price. Total Rocket package is $2,200, VMPS package is approx. $5,500. I've read all the glowing reviews on the H.D. forum about the VMPS speakers. The RM40 not only won the best speaker but overall best product at 2002 CES. I've read one review where...
It's upgrade time. I now have Def Tech 2002 fronts, CLR2000 center and BP2X for surrounds. My sub is a 300 pound Stryke Dual HE15, 6 p.r. monster. It is powered by Crown K2 and equalized by a Behringer Feedback Destroyer Pro. I have a ATI 1505 amp, Sony TA-E9000ES pre/pro and use Better...
Buy a 4:3 HDTV ready T.V. I just bought a 61" 4:3 Sony KP61HS20 and love it. HDTV programming is a joke. For the next 5-7 years we will all be watching more 4:3 programming then 16:9. The Sony does the anamorphic squeeze for DVD's and HDTV programming. My 16:9 picture for DVD's or HDTV is the...

Vinny, I keep my speakers small because Def. Tech says the BP2002 can go down to 20 hz, but in reality there is very little output below 30hz and the HE15 can do the lower octives a lot better. This frees up power for the upper octives in all the speakers.
Brian, thanks a lot for your...
Am I confused? My family room is done, I've moved my sub and I'm starting to re-calibrate it. This is my set-up.
I have a Sony TA-E9000ES for a pre/pro. When a speaker is set to small, each speaker can be set to a crossover from 20-120hz in 5 hz increments. The dual out on the Sony, goes to...
Tyson, have you heard the active 40's anywhere in Denver. I live in Ken-Caryl. Soundtrack carries all the Def Techs, that's where I bought my 2002's, CLR 2000 and BP2x's. Cherry Creek Audio is worthless, a Company in Colorado Springs told me they're the largest Paradigm seller in the region...
Thanks for the replies.
I have this need to upgrade. I think the sub in Def Techs are a waste. My home theater came alive when I got a Paradigm Servo 15. Don't let anyone tell you built in subs replace a dedicated stand alone sub. There is no comparison. I do listen to H.T. 80/20...
I now have Def Tech BP 2002's. I have a dual Stryke HE15 sub with a Crown K2 amp that handles everything below 60hz. I've read a couple reviews that rave about the Paradigm Active 40's. Both reviews come to the same conclusion. These speakers are misunderstood jewels in the speaker world. They...
Is this the correct way of doing this? I've run a frequency sweep with Stryke Basszone CD and charted my frequency respone from 12.5 to 80hz with all speakers going. Do I now add the Rat Shack correction values to these numbers before I adjust the peaks with the BFD?
According to the chart 25...
I have a K2 for my sub, how good would this amp be for mains and center speaker. I was thinking of going with a Odyssey Stratos or another comparable high end amp. Is the K2 precise enough to handle more then just subwoofer range frequencies. Thanks.
Thanks Julian. Is there anything, anywhere that describes what xmax, fb, f3 etc. is. If I new what these terms meant, I could make more sense out of answers and understand the differences in different drivers, subwoofers, etc.
Thanks.
What does tuning your subwoofer from 18hz to 20hz do? Does tuning it higher give you more output higher and less lower? My dual Stryke HE15 6 p.r. sub is tuned to 18hz. What would tuning it to 20-22hz do? You can only play so loud anyways. What's the difference? Thanks.
John was not there when the break-in happened. You can always replace woofers but not yourself. In the larger scheme of things, a woofer is not all that important. They stole 4 10" woofers and some other stuff also. Mark, thanks for the offer. I'll be e-mailing you shortly. Thanks.

J.J.'s house got broken into and his last two HE15's were stolen. One of those was for my dual HE15 sub thats being built. Does anyone have an extra one to sell. If not I'll have to wait for the next shipment in July. I've got a Crown K2 amp a Berringer Feedback Destroyer Pro that want to go to...
Which one would be the best to use with the dual Stryke HE15 sub I'm having built. I'm using a Crown K2 amp if this makes any difference. Is one easier then the other to use.
I've already bought a Beringer FBD Pro for 159.95. If the Art 31 is a lot better I can return it. With the combination...
What's the best product to seal airtight drivers and p.r.'s. Is there a precut 15" gasket thay will work with the HE15 driver and Lambda 15" p.r.'s, or do you not use anything and just screw the drivers down tight. Thanks
Ken
Is this the way you hook it up? I use a Y connector and hook up each "+" on driver #1's two v.c.'s and do the same to the "-" on driver #1 two v.c.'s. I then run the "+" cable and the "-" cable from driver #1 to the "+" & "-" on the first set of binding posts. And then do the same with driver...
What is the best and most powerful way of doing this? I am going with 1 TD-Cup from Magisound for binding posts. This has 4 individual binding posts in one cup. I could easily jumper these as needed. Bob Sorel is building a dual HE15 also. He is going to use 2 of the TD-Cups. Since each driver...
