    Parts Express 250 watt Plate Amp or Crown XLS 402???

    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...

    Tilt Your RPTV For Better Viewing?

    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...

    How much PVC Sonosub Material?

    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...

    DISH 6000 and analog channels question

    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?

    Alternative Sonosub Enclosure Material?

    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...
