I have a Panasonic head unit that among other things, has an aux input for whatever I may please. I have a jvc sirius satellite unit, and when I use it I get engine whine. I thought it was power related, but I tried my portable battery powered mp3 player and I get noise through it also (not as...
someone please point me in the right direction... I have a full tivo (hughes SD-DVR40), no time to watch what I have recorded, no desire to delete what I have or to put it on vhs, and plenty more to record. I'll be 70 by the time I get to watch it all but....... So my question is, since I...
So I'm in the market for an upgrade player to my ever hard working, but played out Phillips DV-711. I have read a few internet reviews of this Sony player, but none here. There seems to be an issue with some of these when using HDMI about a black bar across the top of the screen. I have a...
Alright guys, I need some input. Here's what I have : Cerwin Vega 12" 8ohm DVC sub from an old SW12B home sub. I built a sealed 1^3ft box and wired it in parallel for a 4ohm load. This sub is powered by a kicker KX120.2 amp, bridged to put out 120 watts at 4ohms. I know the sub sucks...
Pretty decent episode. 1/4 of the way through, I thought it would be the cop that initially made the stop. I would have liked to see Grissom, or some other CSI appologize to the guy that was framed. If the warrant had initially been requested, he would have likely ended up in jail. Guess its...
I kept wondering what else the sheriff had been in, then it hit me. Robert Ritter from Clear and Present Danger. Was also a character in Mission Impossible. I kinda felt scared for Grissom there, even though I live in one, small country towns make for good horror flicks.. Pretty decent...
Can I use regular RG-59 coax cable, with RCA ends as a subwoofer cable.. I know the quad shield stuff is better, but the regular stuff is already run.. what do you guys think?
Noob stuff.. We purchased a DirectTV two room system this weekend. Reading the installation instructions.. they repeatedly state that I should not use RG-59 to install, it would apparantly not work. We just moved into a new house (1yr old) and all the cable in the house is RG-59U. Will I...
Anyone else watch this, and waste two hours of their time? Poor guy, after being in a near death situation, he still ponders what he could have done differently.. how bout, not be in the water with man eating sharks to begin with dodo! I like the audio, of the guy with him, saying he wouldn't...
OK, I have a 2001 Cheverolet Silverado, LS trim. Extended cab seating consists of a bench that folds up. I have scoured the net for pictures of other peoples installs and have seen some nice stuff that can be considered "stealth" and some not so nice stuff that would attract too many would be...
Awhile back there was a thread listing release dates for certain spaghetti westerns on DVD. I am mainly interested in the movie this Thread is named after... Once Upon A Time In The West. Does anyone know if and when this will be released?
I about died laughing at the opening scene with Minny Driver!!!! How did they pull that off? Let one go, but not two? That is some control!!! funniest line : I'd just die!!!! Die, die, die!! Jack kills me. I have to say, it is one of the funniest shows on TV these days and am glad I...
OK.. Heres the background... A while back (years ago actually), I had an argument with a friend, that said the $5.98 Ep was called, Garage Days Re-revisited... I kept arguing that there was no Re- ... Well, we found it, and sure enough, I lost that argument. Fast forward a few years. I used to...
I have a Phillips Rhythmic Edge Sound card, model PSC702, and when I reloaded my PC with XP recently, it told me that my sound card did not pass XP logo testing. Consequently the drivers do not work, and I have no sound. I know its a cheap card, only capable of stereo replication, but with a DPL...
Spring Cleaning time. I hate to get rid of stuff, no matter how obsolete, or how long it has been since its been used, but the wife has put her foot down, and its time to clean some stuff out. This stuff is probably not up to this forums standards, but what the heck.. maybe someone needs some...
First off, am I the only one experiencing problems with the main page of HTF? I have to go to recent posts to jump to other areas of the forum??? Anyway, I want to build a clean box, with the limited space I have in my 2001 extended cab Chevy Silverado. I can't find (haven't really looked...
Like the thread topic reads, I performed a search but only found VE, S&V, and Avia threads. Has anyone used the Parts Express DVD? It is on sale now for 7.77.. not bad if it is worth it.
I was,at first, forced to watch another film to appease my better half's taste in movies, so that I may continue to pursue my love for all things Home Theater, but found myself enthralled with this movie. I know its not new, but it is new to me. I found Gary Oldman's acting to be superb, not...
Sorry if this is a question better asked in the beginners section, please move if necessary. Before purchasing my Pioneer VSX-D711 DD, DTS reciever, I had a 12 band EQ in line with my stereo to tailor the sound to my liking. Since getting the new reciever, I have found out, through this...
Well, I made the plunge after many restless weeks of getting the funds, and choosing my equipment. Funny story, I wanted the Kenwood vr-507, waited too long and it was discontinued, decided to wait for the vr-6050, and the day I was to order it from Crutchfield, BB put out an ad for the Pioneer...
I recently was given two pairs of speaker enclosures that come from a prototype line of speakers that a high end manufacturer produces. I have two bookshelf enclosures, and two tower enclosures. I have the parts express main catalog, and looking through it, it does not seem like such an easy...
I have a Cerwin Vega 12" DVC ported sub. I have seen a lot of threads on stuffing, and some figures that I would like to know how mine stacks up. Can someone give me internal volume? It is 25 1/2" wide x 13" high x 16 1/4" deep . All construction with 3/4" particle board. It doesn't have any...
1. Is there a big difference in the quality of low budget EQ's?
2. Even if it is not needed, is it a good idea to incorporate one if one is available?
3. Anyone here have a technics model SH-GE50? And if so, are you happy with it?
I have one, and am about to incorporate a Kenwood VR-507...
Anybody have a diy rack that you are proud of, other than the flexy type? Obviously the ease of building flexies adds to their appeal, but the look and sharp/exposed corners isn't for everyone. Searches produce mostly flexies and invalid pages. thanks for the help
I hear alot of raving about the inexpensive HTB-504 package from Kenwood. I have looked around the web, and can't distinguish which one of their recievers is in the package.
Here is my dilema. I bought a Technics HTIB speaker set awhile back. For the brand, I really dig the sound. Of course...
I was recently given an old Pioneer RPTV with problems. My gut instinct is to tear into it and see whats inside, but I know the best thing to do would be to take this tv to a repair shop. I don't like going into any shop without having some knowledge to back up my questions, and to keep from...
