Hey All, Just for schitz and grins I decided to test out powering on my BFD while my sub amp was already turned on. Well holy hell the pop was so loud and strong I thought it was going to blow me off my feet! :D I know not everyone experiences that pop, but I wouldn't leave it to fate! Just...

Hey all, I am banging my head on this one! Story is I downloaded test tones from Sonnie Parker's site Link Removed and successfully burned them to a cd with the track titles and file sizes listed etc. Well now I am trying to create my own tones and burn them but am having a very hard time with...

Hi All, I have always appreciated the help here at the forum. I now have done some measuring in my room with my new Tempest Sono. Can you offer suggestions on improvement? I have acquired a BFD and am ready to put it into action! Pics of the room etc. to follow...

Does anyone know what burner software you can assign a track a specific title (ex. sine 10 = 10, sine 11 = 11, etc.) And if so what is the procedure? Any help is appreciated! Thanks, Casey ;)

I may be missing something. I have setup ETF and my RS SPL on a tripod. I went through the calibration steps when ETF first starts (in demo mode)up. I adjusted until the mic and soundcard levels were between -10 and 0. Everything is good as far as that goes. My problem is I don't have enough...

Hey All, Just wondered if anyone could comment on the soft tools offered by Sound Technology. I may have access to either SpectraRTA132 or SpectraPRO332 located here : http://www.soundtechnology.com/download-center.htm Any opinions? Thanks for the input, Casey :)

Hello, Pat, When you painted you caps for your Sono's did you allow your color coats to dry (fully) before applying the clear enamel coats? Or did you just top coat the color coats at the same time (usually within 10 min to 1 hour)? Brian, Hank, You may also be able to answer? Thanks...

Hey All, I finished my Sono's and have a problem with the paint on the top end cap. In an effort to keep smudges and etc. off of the caps I would periodically wipe them down with a silky cloth (didn't want to scratch them). Well, I did scratch them very lightly. I didn't wipe on them until...

Anyone have a diagram of how they wired their Tempest from VC's to the A/V or similar? I may go with wiring a coil to each terminal, but then need help on how to "jumper" the terminal for parallel configuration. Also, do you use an single interconnect from the receiver and go into the amp left...

Hey Guys, I wondered what the consensus is on isolation. I am not sure I want to use spikes for my new Sono. Can anyone comment on other options that have worked for them? Thanks! Casey :)

Hey All, Just whining a bit, I have a spouse (whom I love to death) that loves the whole HT thing! She brags to friends etc. about this and that and how the seats shake you around when T-Rex comes. Everything is honky dory right? WRONG. How come the things she wants done around the house...

Hey all, I first have to warn you this message is going to be very hard to follow, but I am just frustrated (ramble), hope you understand. I had one of those experiences this morning when you feel everything you have done is in the toilet. OK, here is the scenario; I was gluing my endcaps...

Anyone come up with an idea of how to keep the tuning port accessible without flares? I am using a six inch port for the Sonosub I am building. Open to suggestions. Casey

Hey All! My Father-in-Law and I are building some Sonosubs. He came up with a new way to cut the tube. We took a roll of 6" masking paper (painters use it, can be found at most hardware stores), and used the same principles that Pat used with his paper taping idea (except the roll does not...

Hey All, Just dropping a line to inform you that I have partaken in the "Maelstrom Majesty". My Pa-In-Law and I are building Tempest Sono's and we went to Kyle's to pick up the goods. Well let me tell ya that Maelstrom of Kyle's opened a can of whoop ass! If you are considering building one...

What is the major difference between tuning's? And why would I want one over the other? (Ex. 15Hz vs. 18Hz vs. 21Hz) I had a higher level of explanation from Dr. Hyre of Adire, but would like the low level version. Any help is appreciated! Casey :rolleyes

Patrick (or others), I have worked out in LspCad a design of 226L tuned to 18hz using either a 6 inch, or (2) 4 inch ports. Can you tell me what adv/disadv there would be to using either? I prefer the six by default. Also, I am thinking of using 24" tube with 1.5 on top and 1.75 on the...

Hey All, Can I get away with mixing ohm ratings in my system. For example, if I have 8 ohm fronts and center can I use 4 ohm rears? I am trying to decide what to look at for the rears. Thanks, Casey H

Hey all, I may have a problem. I am looking for a center and surrounds for my system. I currently have two Infinity SM152's: S p e c i f i c a t i o n s Frequency Response (+3dB) 44Hz - 25kHz Crossover Frequencies 500Hz, 5500Hz Efficiency (1w/1meter) 102dB Power Rating 10-300 watts...

Hey all, I am about to jump out the window! I have a new Onkyo 494 with DPL2. My problem is I am trying to decide whether to keep it or go with a Denon 1802 with DPL2. Can anyone give me pros and cons of the desicions they have had to make going with one product over another? They both...

Anybody had any luck buying Denon products online? Most likely would be an "unauthorized dealer". I am considering the new AVR-1802, and can get it about $125 cheaper including the shipping. Any thoughts would be helpful. Looking at company Let's Go Digital Etc. If you have specific...

Hey all, I must preface my post by saying that I have gathered a wealth of info from all of you on the forum. Thanks. I have a pair of Infinity SM152's (Big ass head bangin' towers with 15" drivers). My question is, would it be an advantage or disadvantage to run those as my mains in my HT...
