    27" Panny won't recognize all channels on cable?

    Active Speaker Kits

    What about using the passives that are built with most DIY speakers and using these amps? For example the Bryston Powerpacs are just like their fantastic amps jsut monos. Is it a good idea to use these types of amps (ps later I will add active crossovers) or should I just go with a regular ole...

    Motherboard Swap?!?

    What are the benefits of RAID? Could someone explain the technology to me? ALso, should I use a 300 or 400w power supply with this? It has 2 fans built in but can accomodate 4. Should I go for 4? I think they are 80mm. Thanks for the help! ------------------ Laters!! Rollo

    Motherboard Swap?!?

    Guys let me tell you this. Whether or not I upgrade memory is a moot pt. From looking around and the such, it is where the mobo will go-ie in my old puter or in a new one. Gotta love discovering a new project. So now that I have decided that I am gonna start from scratch, what are some things...

    Motherboard Swap?!?

    Okey doke guys.I cracked her open tonight and found out 2 things: the first is that I have 3 black memory slots, so from earlier I am guessing they are DIMMS. But, 2 are clearly occupied by SIMMS. Any ideas on this one guys? Jerk em out and put in 128s or what? Second as for the chipset, it is...

    Motherboard Swap?!?

    I will crack her open later. THat was my whole issue with the thing: I couldn't believe that it only took 64s. I ran a diag at pcpitstop and it told me they were 64 slots. Hmmmm.....glad that doesn't just seem weird to me. I will let yall know tonight. So if indeed they only hold the simms, then...

    My puter is a custom built one by a place in houston. It isa PIII 450 with 128 mg of ram, 20gb and 8gb harddrive, imation cdrw etc etc. It is 2.5 yrs old.

    Motherboard Swap?!?

    I was recently looking into upgrading my memory, and I went to PC Pitstop and had them run a diag on my machine to see what I have available. It told me that I have 4 slots capable of holding 64meg modules a piece. NOw I would have liked to have slots that would hold more, so I guess the...

    18" subwoofer use in Home Theater

    Do any of you guys remember not too long ago the guy that built a coffee table with a sub in it. If memory serves-and it should I am still young :)-it was a kicker 18. I don't have the link for the life of me, but someone else may know what I am talking about. I will look for it later as it will...

    Monitor and bass box, or monitor and sub for music/ht?

    What I am leaning towards is a Focal center with a tweet/5/ and 2 7s. I think it uses a T90 but I was told I can swap it out with another focal tweet-TN51 etc without too much crossover hassle. Are there any focal kits that would allow me to match the center and still achieve great music and HT...

    Monitor and bass box, or monitor and sub for music/ht?

    So basically I don't need something with any subs? It would be a waste of the HE15? So I just need some fronts that are solid to 60 or so? THere is no advantage to going to 2 8s or so up front? Is it better to have it with the bass boxes for the fronts for music and only use my sub for low on...

    Monitor and bass box, or monitor and sub for music/ht?

    I am trying to decide on my next speaker project and was wondering what the consensus was on speakers for HT and music. They will be used for about 60/40 Music/HT. The question is should I build a 2 way and use my current sub (Stryke HE15) or build a 2 way and a 10 or 2 8s and have the sub...

    The Lambda Strykes!

    I did the exact thing you said Mark, sanded corners etc. I just think the formica or whatever was too thick and the seems show up more. I guess when I build my fronts I will try and find some thinner laminate. Is there any pattern to putting it together so not to see seems or does it not matter...

    The Lambda Strykes!

    Are there any certain techiques to laminating a speaker cabinet? I just did my sub, and while it turned out great(using black laminate) I think it is too thick. Meaning you can see where each piece butts up to the others. Is that laminate just really thin or is there a certain way of doing...

    Anyone interested in designing some MTM's?

    Bob, just glancing through your post I am in a similar boat. I was intent on using the ravens, but I found out that if I wanted to use it in a center it wouldn't be wise. Well let me rephrase that, I have a normal TV ( not Big Tosh for me) and I was told taht the ravens magnets were too strong...
