    FS: A whole bunch of A/V “accessories”

    Niles SPS-4, 4 position speaker switch. This will switch 4 pairs of speakers and has impedance protection so you won’t overload your amp. Includes box, instructions and labels (4 are on the switch already). I bought new from Crutchfield for $100.00, selling for $50.00 shipped. PayPal preferred...

    The HE8.1 center finished

    It’s DONE!!! I’ve built myself a “custom” center to match my entertainment center. The speaker and crossover is an Adire Audio HE 8.1 kit. The cabinet where the speaker is mounted is resized slightly to reduce the height but overall within 1 cubic inch of Adire’s plans. Here’s the before...

    Well... Chalk up one more IT guy in the unemployment line

    As of Monday June 30, 2003 at 5:00 PM It's been a good run... 5 years and 1 month as net-admin/user support for a small family owned company. As they say... All good things come to an end. The downsizing and layoffs actually began March 2001. Between then and now staff has been reduced...

    Center suggestions to match HE 10.1's

    I have a pair of HE 10.1's that I use with a 2 channel system. I'm very pleased with the way they sound. So pleased that I'm toying with the idea of building another pair to use as surrounds and figuring out something to use for a center. I'd love to be able to listen to multi-channel DVD-A's...

    line level volume control?

    Due to space limitations in my entertaiment center I find it necessary to move my PE plate amp (mounted in a box) to the garage. The amp is driving my DIY IB sub. I only use the IB for 2 channel music. It is being driven by the sub output from an Onix P-3000 preamp and is crossed over at 75Hz. I...

    IB-Sub completed. I'm STUNNED!

    Most of Saturday and part of Sunday were spent installing my new IB subwoofer. The manifold is built out of .75" MDF with 2X4 reinforcing around the opening. Overall the cabinet dimensions are 9.5" x 18" x 24" (WxHxD). The opening netted out to 8" x 16.5". I used 2 of the Parts Express 15" IB...

    Crossover gurus... I need a schematic

    I'm pretty much married to my JBL S38's for a while. At least until I can find a "proven" design for something along the lines of a M&K S150. Anyway I thought I might try to improve the sound a bit by building a better crossover. I figure that JBL installs about the cheapest crossovers they...

    FS: JVC HM-DSR100 DVHS/E* receiver

    I've made the switch to DirecTV and 3 DTiVo's so it's time to part with my DSR100. It's in excellent condition right down to the stickers on the front. I did the IR modification so that it would work with my Pronto. The access card is clean (no charges) and verifiable (email me for the...

    A possible DIY sub project

    I have a pair of old (~1993) Infinity SM-152 towers. These speakers are quite large with 15” woofers 2 –4” mids and 1 dome tweeter. They’re very efficient and overall quite decent sounding with TONS of bass. These guys have served me well for almost 10 years but alas they fell victim to a...

    Considering the purchase of an ICBM

    I’m not sure if this belongs here or in speakers or in tweaks… Mods, please feel free to move as needed. I'm giving serious thought to adding an ICBM to my system. I'm in the early stages of acquiring DVD-A's and loving the sound with a few minor exceptions. I currently have: Pioneer Elite...

    Receiver decoder vs. DVD decoder

    1) I've done some searching on this forum about this and either I'm searching on the wrong expressions or it hasn't been addressed in a while. 2) Mods... If this is in the wrong area please feel free to move it wherever you see fit. The question... I have a Sony STR-DB940 and a Panasonic...
