    Thank You SVS!

    Dany, If you are referring to my last post about a "proto type" sub on the right side of pic., Its NOT a sub, but a white shop vac. I was just kidding Ron about me being from a place called Calcutta, Ohio, which I must admit is quite unusual!! I thought most members would see what I was...

    Thank You SVS!

    Okay, the guy in the first row, far left with green shirt is Greg. He's the one I met when I picked up my ISD back in Jan. I'm guessing he is shop foreman??? He was there alone and the rest of the crew was gone when I stopped by. Colin

    SVS company reps.- a short story.......

    I just upgraded my old 16-46 CS driver to a new ISD driver for $129. The new driver seems like it weighs about five more pounds heavier than the old one, and has a little deeper bass. Nice improvement I must say for the money! Anyhow, I consider myself lucky because one of SVS shops is...

    Ever "upgrade" your SVS driver?

    Thanks Ed. Thats good news!!! The main reason I wanted to upgrade, besides maybe a little bit better bass, was the fact of my driver "occasionally" bottoming out. And yes, I have calibrated my system several times with Avia, SPL meter ect.ect...... Thanks, Colin

    sheetrocking curved ceiling question

    The few dome ceilings I have worked on were framed up with metal drywall ceiling grid. It is designed to have drywall screwed directly to the grid. We had to layout the shape of the dome on the floor, and then transfer the pattern to several sheets of plywood, somewhat like a huge workbench. We...

    sheetrocking curved ceiling question

    I would go lenghtwise. Just a little hint. Say for example your soffit is 12 inches. When making rips on a new sheet of drywall,make as many "cuts" as you can on one side of the sheet, before you "snap" the drywall to cut the opposite side of the sheet. Also, sometime's you will get "rough...

    Just one thing to keep in mind if you do go with a drywall ceiling in your basement. Will you ever, ever, need access to anything up above in the floor joist such as plumbing or HVAC? If your answer is "no" to that question and you do go with a drywall ceiling, then don't forget now is a good...
