It's been a while (about 6 years) since I've been in the subwoofer market, but now that my trusty JBL PB12 has conked out I am back in the hunt. It looks like SVS is still popular and their website looks promising. Is SVS still considered to be the best (or near best) for quality, performance...

Can an "HD ready" monitor display HD from the XBox 360 or is an external tuner required? I've read conflicting information on that. Thanks in advance. Ace

Does anyone own a pair of Oakley Half Jacket sunglasses? If so, what is your opinion of them?

Anybody got any useful suggestions how to control my overmowing neighbor? I think he mows into my yard to make his yard look bigger. I don't want to piss him off or anything, but maybe a subtle hint. (i.e. a rock on the border, or flower bed) Any ideas?

Does anyone know how to get your phone number off of google's search engine? I tried searching for the topic but wasnt successful, thought I'd try you guys. Thanks in advance. Ace PS- Incase you don't know, at google.com if you just type in your phone number (or anyone else's) it tells you...

I wonder what you have to do to get tickets to this show. They went on sale yesterday and are sold out already in Ames, IA! That to me is crazy.

I wanted to make a cheap video connection for my dad's dvd player to his tv. He is moving the dvd player to a further-away spot in the room and needed a 25ft cable. He would be using the composite video connection. I made one out of RG6 cable with screw-on f-type connectors and then attached...

Sold to me for 1 cent at Best Buy the other day. The blue shirt told me it was free only with the purchase of a Fox DVD, but he didn't sound too sure. So I took it to the cash register for a price check and the blue shirt there told me "1 cent." OK, for a penny I'll take it. It has some...

I was thinking, not so seriously, about getting a new truck sometime. The Silverado's seem to have my attention more than any other truck right now. Do any of you own one? And if so how do you like it? Anyone dislike the Silverado for any reason? Just curious. Ace

I love the Ghostbusters. I've seen it countless times, and I purchased the DVD release a few weeks ago. The other night I was enjoying this movie once again and I saw the shadow of the devil! I've never noticed this before and I seriously doubt it was intentional. It's during the part where...

Not sure if this post should be here (or maybe poll section), admin. correct me if need be. But I thought it might be interesting to hear how some of you arrange your dvd titles. Myself, I arrange them by studio (Fox, Columbia, Warner Bro., etc) and my family scratches their collective heads...

Anyone around know how to program a number back into a cell phone? Yesterday my phone got wet and my number was wiped out. I can take it into the store in a few days when I have more time, but I thought I may get some useful help here. It is an Audiovox Airtouch phone. Everything else is...

On Saving Private Ryan DVD, in the 4th chapter I think. It's after that part where they finally broke thru the beach and torched that shelter on the clifftop. Some Germans are surrendering and the fire in the background is streaking up the screen! Also there is some pretty heavy white blurry...

I didn't see anything on the DVD that says it is anamorphic or enhanced for 16x9 televisions. Can anyone else confirm this?

I have a toshiba 50h81 coming next week and was looking for the perfect progressive dvd player to hook up to it. I have been reading a lot of threads regarding the topic. It seems to be the consensus that panasonics are superior simply for the fact that they don't contain the dreaded "chroma...

I saw this program, "Music in High Places", on DirecTV and never really thought too much of it until they had Collective Soul in Morocco. I liked Collective Soul before this program, but now I can't hardly get enough of the band. All the songs on here are acoustic and just sound great. I...

Did anyone else think that? I mean when you compare him to Andy, Red, the Warden, and some of the supporting actors, it seems to me that Hadley didn't age much at all. They all were getting seriously grey hair and wrinkles and the Warden had a change of glasses and hair style as well. Hadley...

I was thinking of getting some Aura Bass Shaker Pro's and hooking them up through an old Pioneer receiver of mine (251x-r or something) like I've seen some of you describe on past threads. However, I dug out the old manual for this receiver and the specs read: 50 watts per channel at 8 ohms...

Do any of you buy autographed photos of movie stars or music stars? I found a place called autographworld.com that auctions autographed photos, but have any of you ever dealt with that site before? Is it a respectable site? Is there someplace better that I could check? Thanks in advance!

An help at all would be appreciated. A search found only one thread talking about using dishsoap and water. Wouldn't rubbing alcohol be better? Thanks in advance.

Ron, First off let me say I am so jealous... Pardon me if this has been explained somewhere on the vastness of this glorious forum, but I was wondering how EXACTLY you get to see all these movies a month before they premier in theaters? I understand that your status as administrator to this...

I always wonder what Qui Gonn says at the beginning of TPM when the gas starts blowing into the chamber. What does he say? It sounds like 'dioxx' or something. And that still amazes me what he says later when he introduces himself to Anakin's mother. "I'm Qui Gonn Jinn." Then he says...

Has anyone wired up their doorbell so it flashes a light in your HT while you're blaring the music or movies? I currently have a flashing light that will alert me that the telephone is ringing. I love it. There should be something similar for doorbells hadn't there? Anyone done this in their...

I have a JBL PB12 sub that I bought 6/2001. The other day I went to start it up and it was "talking back" to me popping several times followed by a long loud hum. I turned it off quickly and turned it back on a few minutes later and it did the same thing. I unplugged it and let it sit for a...

It's been several weeks since I read the last Contact post. I remember quite a lively discussion on the chair that was built into Ellie's pod, even though the plans didn't call for it... ANyway, in watching the movie again last night I thought of an interesting point. Ellie had no proof that...

Is there a place where a guy can find out what DVD's have hidden menu's? Or is there a clue that there are hidden buttons? AP

I was thinking of getting some Aura Bass Shaker Pro's and hooking them up through an old Pioneer receiver of mine (251x-r or something) like I've seen some of you describe on past threads. However, I dug out the old manual for this receiver and the specs read: 50 watts per channel at 8 ohms...

Just wondering if anyone knew of a way I could use my equalizer at the same time I use the optical(digital) out on my CD player? I have a Denon 3200, an Onkyo equalizer, and a Sony CD player. I have the equalizer going through the 'monitor source' on the receiver and it works great if I just...

OK, so I was wondering... How many of you actually have black ceilings in your HT's? I'm in the process of painting my own ceiling black right now, and boy is it black! Hopefully it doesn't overwhelm everything in the room. But, right now black is the only color in the room otherthan the...

I know a lot of you put carpet on walls for your own theaters, and now I intend to follow suit and do the same with my home theater. However, I find little information that actually describes how to hang carpet on the walls. I was also thinking of carpeting the ceiling as well with some of...
