    Pro Amp vs. Outlaw Blocks

    I'm looking at picking up some amps for a new HT setup, with 7 channels. It seems like the following combinations are within $100 of each other, more or less, for B-stock: - 4 Crown CE1000 amps - 4 Crest CPX1400 amps - 7 Outlaw M200 monoblocks I've heard good things and bad things about...

    Subwoofer Driver Woes

    I'm looking to build a new subwoofer for a home theater, to replace a now-defunct tempest (doh). It seems like the sub driver market has dried up! I was hoping to grab an Avalanche 18". I'm very flexible on box size (IB is out of the question), and would like to stay under 1000w of power. The...

    After finishing my Tempest sub (Adire Alignment - Vented) some time ago I finally got around to giving it a little bit of a good workout.

    Subwoofer Modelling

    OK.. let me admit up front that I have no idea what i'm doing. I got a copy of LspCAD to act as a bit of a crutch since I'm not exactly satisfied with the existing plans out there. That said, here is the subwoofer configuration I am kicking around, presented to you all for ridicule.. :)...
