    For Sale - Adire Bang Speakers (Pair)

    Before I built my Kit-281's I built a pair of Adire Bang speakers that are really great speakers. I just don't have the room for an "extra" set of large speakers anymore. (Those are the wife's words, not mine. ) They are 28" x 11" x 14" and weigh between 40 and 60 pounds each (I'm guessing on...

    Fell into a sonotube!

    Hey Robert, How about that. I lived in Alexandria all my life (graduated from ASH in 1989) and when I finished college and law school, came back and moved to Pineville. My sister graduated from ASH in 1974, you might have met her. How cool is that. If you're ever in town visiting the folks...

    Fell into a sonotube!

    You know, if you want to make that a cutout to fit a 15" driver, just screw a piece of wood on the back side of the hole (to make your pivot point for the router) and cut the hole a little larger. 2 cubic feet is kinda on the small side for most 15" drivers, but it might work. Or . . . make...

    PE 250 Watt Sub Amp and FIRE!

    Thomas, I assure you that I did not intend to start any rumors by my post. There have been previous posts both in this forum and in others mentioning the risk of fire with plate amps, disabling the bass boost, and the addition of polyfil. I think that it is in everyone's best interest to know...

    PE 250 Watt Sub Amp and FIRE!

    Colin, Is your amp from Parts Express or MCM? And does it have 5-way binding posts, or are there no "holes" in the front of the posts for banana clips? John

    PE 250 Watt Sub Amp and FIRE!

    The amp is actually very nice. A very thick cast aluminum plate with the components all affixed solidly. A very stout amp--and one that could sell for much more. I never thought about the flammability of polyfil until Pat's post earlier this week (or was it last week) and was just curious...

    PE 250 Watt Sub Amp and FIRE!

    I will be using the line-level imputs, but if I decide to use the amp with a 2 channel system in another room, it doesn't. Not a huge deal, just an observation. :) So what do you guys think about the fire thingy? Something I shouldn't be worried about? Pat, you're the one who started all...

    PE 250 Watt Sub Amp and FIRE!

    Ok, all the talk here and on another board many of us frequent about a potential fire hazard with the PE 250 Watt amp (or the MCM amp, which apparently is exactly the same) has begun to concern me. What's the deal? Can I stuff a small sealed enclosure to the max with polyfil and put that amp in...

    Horror/Gore DVD Shopping PART II

    Well, I got around to watching Bad Taste (Thanks Max) this past weekend and it was pretty good. Not something the wife would want to watch with me, but a good first flick from Peter Jackson. I also received my Canadian widescreen copy of Ginger Snaps, but I haven't had the chance to watch it...

    Plate Amps

    It's the same amp, but PE is disabling the bass boost on theirs before shipping them. This amp from MCM may still have the bass boost enabled--which is what I want to find out very soon so I can order me one (or two) ;) . You enter the coupon code during the checkout.

    Plate Amps

    You know, if you order online from MCM you get an extra 10% off for any order over $50.00. See: MCM Coupon Any word yet on whether this amp has the bass boost DISABLED or not?

    I have a 5.4 cubic foot, sonotube subwoofer that was built around an Adire Shiva, currently tuned to approximately 16 to 17 Hz via 2 15 to 16" long vents (Adire EBS Alignment). The subwoofer is 18" diameter and is approximately 42" tall (48" tall including the 6" legs), with a black...

    Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back.

    On my way to work yesterday morning (at about 7:30 AM) I stopped by my local Wal-Mart to pick up my copy. I took note that they only had 8 copies of the movie out. (Whether or not they had any more in the "back", I don't know.) I'm glad I found it as it looks like there's been a shortage...

    Amp for my sonosub -- bridging question . . .

    What happens if I run the voice coils of my Shiva in parallel (making 4 ohms) and running it with a bridged stereo amp? Does it see a load of 4 ohms or 2 ohms? I've been confused by some other posts. Please help, because I don't want to burn up my amp or anything (BTW, I have an AudioSource...

    My Sonosub -- Questions . . .

    Followup question on the Behringer FBD: If I put it in between the sub-out and the sub-amp (which is a mono connection), what's the best way to run it? In order to use all 24 channels of the FBD, do I need to run in in the left channel, out the left channel, into the right channel, then out of...

    My Sonosub -- Questions . . .

    Finally, I kept trying to register to post to the forum, but it never would send me a password--then I read the instructions! :) Funny how that works sometimes. Anyway, I am in the process of building my first Sonosub (second subwoofer project--my first was a 3.5 cu. ft. sealed sub with a...
