Hi, I currently have a Pioneer Elite AV receiver powering my Energy C2s and AC-300. I am planning to build kit281s this summer for my fronts/centre and a pair of Kit81s for the rears. I think before that I would like to change my amp situation. I am not sure If I should a) Buy 5 Mono block...

I just finished building a 25' cable for my DVD player to Projector out of 3-25' runs of RG6 cable one end terminated with crimp on RCA connectors. The other end to the projector (an X1) currently has a 15pin male connector. I used to have the exact same type of connections on each end using...

Hi, I am selling my Ac-300 and my C2's which are in good condition and still sound great. I am planning to build Kit 281's this summer to replace the Energy's what should I try and sell everything for? I was thinking anywhere from $400-$500CND, does this sound reasonable? Thanks alot. Adam

I can't beleive it, where have they all gone!? I have been trying to get my hands on one for a couple weeks now it seems like they are out of stock absolutely everywhere. I am from Canada so I am trying my best not to buy from the states. Even local dealers it seems are completely dry lately. I...

I am currently selling my Toshiba 50" 50H82 Widscreen Set. It has about 3.5 years left on full home warrenty and I paid roughly 3000 for it a year and a bit ago. I was trying to get about 1850 CND for and some people just came into see it and offered 1500CND. Is this too low for this set...

I was wondering if you have the diameter and length of the port determined for a given volume, do these numbers need to be recalculated if stuffing is placed in the box, as the stuffing would effectively increase the volume in the box??? If this is true how does one go about determining the...

Title pretty much says it all, I bought mine last september and will be getting a projector. It has 4years+ left on complete in home warranty and is in perfect condition. How much would be fair (in CND$ would be helpful). Thanks alot, Adam

In my room a portion of the ceiling is dropped to box in pipes and stuff. This was done with steel frame and drywall -sheetrock. The volume inside this dropped area would be sufficient for an IB setup, however I was wondering if drywall(sheetrock) is enough to isolate the front and back waves...

Im building a set of speakers for my electronics class and have to build/design the speakers. I have just ordered the dayton silk dome tweeter (http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshow...=275-070&DID=7) and the 6-1/2 Woofer (http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd..._ID=7769&DID=7). I...

Do I wire the voice coils in parallel and the subs in series OR Do I wire the voice coils in series and the subs in parallel ??? Im assuming both will give me an effective resistance of 8Ohms. Thanks Adam

I have a 3 or 4 year old Sony 500watt DD receiver. I am going to be selling to a freind and want to know what a fair price would be. edit: god im an idiot, cant beleive I forgot the model number :), anyway its a STRDE825. Thanks Adam

Title pretty much says it all. Ill be integrating these with a sub already have so the sub 80Hz are not of concern with repsect to F response. Im looking for something on the smaller side, less than 12" high, 7-10" wide, 7-10" deep. It has to have a good, relatively flat, response, none of this...

Pretty much says it all, I understand that if ran 2 together, they would have to be ran in series giving 8Ohms, correct? I will then end up with 175w RMS going into the subs. With one driver I would obviously have 250w RMS. Which would yield clearer, less distorted, punchier bass...

Well I was wondering why my sub sounded bad lately, I had the post several days ago: Bottoming out my sub? Well upon closer inspection I relized that the spider, this holds the voice coil in place but allows it to move freely, is cracked in 2 places 3" apart. Inbetween these cracks it has...

How do I access this? Thanks Adam

I was screwing my sub(Dayton 15" DVC) into the new box I made for it and was being very impateint, not taking my time and slowly sinking the screws, I was also not being catious enough covering the driver with something while I screw and I slipped and put a slit in the rubber surround portion of...

Well I think my sub is bottoming out. It seems like the sub is hitting Xmax really easily and then just stopping, it sounds likes its popping. I have a Dyaton 15" DVC sub with a 220L enclosure powered by the PE 250w amp. I just got the amp less than a month ago and have just noticed the...

I put in the order 2 fridays ago and have been on vacation till today. I got an email dated the 19th saying it ship. Considering that I live in AB Canada, how long will I be looking at until I receive my amp? Thanks alot Adam

Im currently running my 15" Dayton DVC sub with an old 100w RMS plate amp I had on my old powered sub. I felt the sub was doing just fine, until I stopped by Soundsaround today. They had a fairly reasonable system set up, with 2 small towers and 1 powered sub. The sub was tiny and was just...

Ive been looking for a new set for sometime now and have narrowed it down to just a couple sets. I know I know they arnt even the same aspect ratio :) but hey thats why i need help. Ive looked at both these sets in detail and have fiddled around with that tv screen size calculator. They both...

I had originally built my sonosub as a 320L downfiring beast, as well i had fabric on the outside. This was ok but i felt that the bass was not punchy enough so i cut down the volume to around 230L in addition i changed the design to an upfiring sub (not conventional I know - but it sounds...

I finished putting together my diy dayton sub about a month ago, however im still modding it, I think i will cut it down in height to a more resonable 40"- from its 60". I of course will then me changing the port. I also plan to stuff it with some poly-fill and dress it up a little more, the...

I just found out the amp im going to be using in my diy sub is actually only 105w RMS. My Sub will be 290L or so, 6"-23" port, which tunes it to 16.5Hz. Will this power be sufficient to drive my Dayton 15" DVC? Thanks Alot Adam

I was wondering what people thought about the amps they use with their DIY subs. Does the amp one uses, have a lot to do with the sound one can achieve with their DIY sub, or will two amps of equal power sound the same? Is the amp a crutial aspect of the sub or is the driver and design of the...

I Got my Dayton 15" DVC driver today, 15 days from order, not to bad. Obviously I had to break her open and power it up for a test run. QUESTION: How does the sound of a driver in air without box/port/or screwed to a board, compared with the driver in the finished enclosure. This may sound...

I have finalized my sonotube plan. It includes a 6" diameter, 23.96" length port. I have looked hard and long and havnt seen any 6" plubing pipe. However I did notice some 6" sonotube at HD for under $6(8 footer). Would the sonotube work well for the port or should I keep looking for plubing...

Im starting my diy sub and have picked up all of the supplies i'll need. I dont have a plunge router but do have a rotozip. The only circle jigs for this go up to a ridiculous 6" in radius. Obviously I need something bigger, my circles need to be around 24.5", do u have any suggestions? A home...

I was just curious if you needed a 30" port in your sonotube-based sub, but your tube was around 25" in height, could you use pvc plubing pipe and put together several pieces with u-curves in them to achieve this length? or would the curves in the port effect the sound?? Sorta Like This...

One quick question, when determining the internal volume of a sub, do you exclude the volume of any bracing, the actual driver and the amp? As well do you exclude the volume of the port and or the air inside the port? Thanks Alot
