I agree. The only thing that is unique to a Subwoofer cable is the length. This may run the cable by more things that cause interferance, and you may have trouble finding a cable long enough. A cheap and easy sub cable I have used is taking a COAX cable and attaching an RCA converter on to each...
I agree with everything that Jud stated about the HTD Level III Towers. They are incredible! I also auditioned many retail speakers and thought they were either worse in some way or too close for my money. Off the top of my head I also listened to Infinity's, Klipch, Boston's, Def-Techs...
This is going to be a great review! I think you did a good job of picking the most common direct speakers and your smart to put a limit on it. I agree with many others that reviewing the towers separate from the bookshelf makes the most sense. I think comparing one common retail line (such as...
I couldn't agree more with the customer service comments here. Chris and Brian bend over backwards to make you happy. I live in DFW and came out to see them several times in Allen, TX. They also set up two of my co-workers and have fixed any issue that has come up for any of us. In my own case...
Check out the new Sony SA-WM500 12" 150Watt sub. It replaced the SA-WM40 this year, and runs as low as $135 at Ebay and close to that on other etailers. Here is one at $139 I found: http://www.mandalaynet.com/newsonsaw150.html . You should do some research to find out if it is getting decent...
I would call Parts Express to find out if they will fix it. Their technician Eric is very knowledgeable and quoted me just $20 + shipping to fix a damaged PE Amp. He should be able to work on the Apex JR as well. I think he can even change out your boost while he has it if you want that.
If you don't mind buying direct from the factory, I would recommend the Home Theater Direct Middies: HTD Small, white or black MTM design. Well made of MDF, not plastic, and cast frame mids. Great sound and looks. You can buy them individually at $70 ea. or as a whole set with a sub for $500...
I was just sent a New product alet email today from CNet that shows two retailers carrying it: CNET Pioneer VSX-D912 Looks like a nice reciever, and I am very interested in it for the current $319 price. The Pioneer site even says that it has an aluminum front panel. That really is suprizing...
Cree, WOW! I'm pretty impressed with the components you have found here. I think I have some new DIY items to recommend to others for sub building. I'm not sure how you found them, but the Rythmik Audio Plate Amp you found looks better than anything I have seen before. It's less money than...
I did a DIY sub with the 15" version of your sub and have been very happy with the results. My sub has the VEGA154 in a 3.5 Cu/ft box ported at 20hz and am very happy with the results. One nice thing about your sub and most Car subs in general is the low Vas allowing you to use a small...
