Im just getting serious about playing the drums, but my T-amp and tang band w3-871 stereo combo just isnt cutting it. I have some older technics cabinets which are rated to 150rms, and I was looking to find a good powerful stereo receiver to push these or some other speakers with. Basically...

good stuff.. if it is even close to spec, it is a great deal... and with the inherent thd in any sub system, a small amount will be unnoticed.. should work well for sub reviews and such... plus ive got an irk to slap a dozem 12s in ,my tiny living room for kicks :D thanks much!

I cant believe the price on these amps. Do they actually put out an honest 2100 watts? That would make me sick to think of how i paid a similar price for a 250watt plate amp and i could have nearly 10x that power to play around with....

and i can promise you the shocker and treos will do nowhere near 20mm

hmmm.... ive always figured if you went with a quality xover with quality parts and had an xover point at the right spot you would be fine.. am i missing something to the xover part? in the past, ive used a/d/s xovers for most of my generic component sets or home theater cabinets.. they were...

looking waaay to far into things here guys... if one sub goes thermally... the total impedance the amp is seeing will increase.. thus the other 2 subs will see less power... there is no reason to divide a box.. especially in a ported box... there is an effect called coupling...when you...

well.. if you really want to go high end and match the factory look... Becker.. maker of the stock unit, makes some very high end head units

hmm xover.. figured id either get a partsexpress model, or perhaps just go with some car audio passives ive got laying around.. about 5 sets to choose from.. i originally thought 2 mids so i could run 4 ohms to match the center channel... of course now that i think about it.. darn.. forgot about...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- im building some new mains.. going for a nice low budget setup ... my center channel is my main target for sq... it consists of 2 vifa tc 5.25"s and a single vifa MG 1" dome tweet in about .4 cubes sealed.. i...

honestly as low as possible... just looking for drivers, cabinet work ill do myself... the vifas i mentioned i think cost a total of about 75 bux.... I was wondering about the tang band 3" full range drivers at www.creativesound.ca , ive heard a pair of them and while they were lagging in...

unfortunately the number is still somewhere around 2-3% of companies id wager that are using that standard...

what model and what isnt working?

there is no enforced standard in 12v which is why youve got to be careful who you buy from. The tru amps i believe are rated full range, though most 12v amps are rated at 1khz. killer amps btw, the only issue ive seen is that on some of the T03 models, there is a very high pitched whine...

ignore the rears... work with your front stage first... do you ever go to a concert and face away from the stage?? im guessing youve likely got the becker 3 way setup up front, which gives you a great starting point with quite nice factory locations. work there first then see if you even desire...

check out a liquid deadener to kill the noise int he cab, it is cheap and very effective ... some sources are Edead v3 www.edesignaudio.com Spectrum www.secondskinaudio.com both are highly effective and cheaper per foot than a mat.. if yours is a std cab, a single gallon will do 2...

am i asking too much? .. okay ... 3 dollars, plus shipping and 172 dollars handling fee ....

Thanks for the move, sorry, there are just so many forums on this site.. Yeah i guess im wondering what people around here reccommend for some drivers themselves that will get loud but still keep clarity. The center i have is some cheapo vifa tc mids and mg tweet, but it does a helluva job...

well.. the bug bit me today... picked up a HK Avr 525 today... killer receiver... 7.1 dts, etc etc etc .. tested out at about 113wrms/ch,rated at 70 sooo.. i guess now ill have to replace my mains.. right now ive got a nice center channel i made with some vifa mids and a vifa tweet in a...

Basically brand new, not a scratch on it, with remote, no manual, though i can print one out or include a disc with it in pdf format if youd like. Only reason im selling it is because i went out and bought an avr 525 used for a steal and have to do something to justify spending money i dont...

I am looking into buying a nice air nailer to help in some quicker box assembly it seems that an 18ga brad nailer would probably work well, but will a 2" brad go into mdf without bending?? will a 15ga finish nailer do the job better??? can you find 15ga finish nails?? is a 16ga brad...

well then.. perhaps i should just wait....lol...already built 4 cabinets for rears just for kicks, im sure i can wait...., btw, what ribbon is that?

well i dont honestly.. besides normal delays on parts..... the only really tricky part to the Xbl2 design is the top plate... a little info here... http://forum.soundillusions.net/showthread.php?t=32811

Yeah i think i remember hearing about them having something along the lines of that, made by Adire... 6mm throw and Dan claims with some phase plug work it will be flat out to 20khz... but how much will it be and when are the real questions...

Ive been looking into making some small wall mount cabinets for rear surround but have had trouble finding drivers that have a wide frequency response that will suit my needs.... since my mains and center are 4 ohms, i have considered using some 3.5" or 4" coaxial car audio speakers.. Other than...

I am building my mains and it didnt occur to me that the cabinets im building are 4 ohms whereas Ht speakers are normally 8 ohms... I recently replaced an old POS pioneer receiver with the HK and im pretty sure it will handle 4 ohms better than the pioneer would have, but id still like to know...

thanks for the input.. ive learned from car audio that a watt certainly isnt always a watt.. no surprise that home audio is the same way....though honestly i would have expected more from onkyo, etc...if im paying good money for a high end piece i expect it to do more than it says and exceed my...

i am currently building some cabinets for home theater use, 4 ohms unfortunately...my question is whether the onkyo txsr501 will handle 4 ohm loads.. i saw a recent review which showed that the model cut power drastically at full volume, and im wondering if the same protection circuit would kick...

ttt

thanks!.. just basically worried about my first home audio cabinet i guess.. anyone have any tips on making this box as dead as possible? I am making it out of 3/4" mdf braced internally of course.. box will be rock solid, but i dont want it to be too sharp.. the upper portion will house some...

also, the room is about 12x20 with normal cielings if it matters....
