I've got this piece of 16” PVC pipe that I procured with the intentions of building a sonosub. Here are the photos: Photos are here. This piece is currently 46” tall and weighs +/- 150 lbs. As you can see, it has a “bell coupling” on the bottom that is 17.5” in diameter. Ideally, I was...
I am soon to build a sonosub with the DVC 12” driver. I will use it 80% for home theater and 20% music. Like most here, I like a theater and music with some bass in it. I would not classify myself as discriminating listener. I currently have the Sony SA-WM40 12” 120 watt sub. I plan to use the...
My nephews are getting a PS2 for Xmas. They are 8 and 10 years old. Being an Xbox guy, I know nothing about PS2 games. Please give me some age appropriate recommendations. As I understand it, Vice City is out! ;)
As a new entrant to the RPTV game, I am curious if anybody “tilts” their RPTV slightly backwards to improve viewing, especially for viewers who are standing. I see this done frequently at retailers for display RPTVs. It seems you could do this without diminishing the “sweetspot” (a/k/a MY...
A contractor buddy is giving me a peice of 16" I.D. PVC pipe that I plan to use for a sonosub. Since this fleeting opportunity just presented itself, I have not yet done the research necessary to design the sub. In ballpark figures, how long should the pipe be? I will do the fine tuning later...

I need a referral for a Direct TV installer in the Dallas area (actually, Plano). This is a new home installation with open walls. The home needs to be wired for high definition satellite/OTA in 5 locations within the house. Thanks.
I am contemplating buying a console for my kids who are currently ages 5 and 7. They have already begun to ask about "Nintendo" and "Sega." I currently have DVD and 5.1 audio and intend on purchasing 60"+ RP HDTV in the next six months. Ignoring the obvious arguments about questionable kiddie...
Are analog channels passed through the 8VSB module of the 6000? If not, do you split the OTA antenna signal before the 8VSB module and hook up one leg to the 8VSB module and the other to the analog TV coax antenna input? Is there a "pass-through" antenna output on the 8VSB module for this purpose?
I apologize if this topic has already been addressed. I have access to some sections of large pipe from a local utility project. I do not know the exact pipe diameter, but somewhere in the 16 to 24 inch range. I think it is used for water transport. It is aqua-blue color and appears to be a...
