Ok, FINALLY going to finish this thing up. 12" Dayton DVC sub 250 watt Partsexpress plate amp Partsexpress 1" thick MDF cabinet (yes, 1"!!). Internal measurements are 18"x18"x18" Partsexpress port. Port is 3" in diameter. Question: How long should this port be? In the directions...

As much as I'm ready to upgrade my old Technics SA-DX950, it does have one thing that I like, and that's a tape monitor loop to accept my equalizer. What other receivers out there will do this? I would like to purchase the Pioneer 1014 or 1015.....will these do what I want? Thanks. Steve

I like the "truck bed" black exterior look on subs. Is that what everybody is using......"truck bed" paint? Thanks. Steve

How does one determine the size of the port tube, length, etc. when building a vented sub box? Thanks. Steve

Built a couple small Dayton 4 ohm 8" subs in a sealed cabinet. Powering them with my Yamaha M-80 amp :D . Getting the signal for the subs using my yamaha DSP-E492 processor. Here's the problem. I believe the processor has a cutoff of around 200 HZ. The subs are getting too much "higher"...

Is there such a thing? I want to see if I can keep my Technics SA-810 receiver running (I'm using it as a sub amp driving two Dayton 8" woofers) by keeping it cool. Are there any fans out there that will work for this? I don't want a fan that is equivalent to the fan in my computer.....high...

After practicing up on my two 8" Dayton's, it was time to tackle the mighty 12"DVC from Dayton, 250 watt plate amp, and 1" MDF enclosure. Don't have any time for more info at this time, but here's a quick pic ..............more to follow!! Steve

Finally finished my remaining Dayton 8" Sub project. 3/4" MDF with cherry vinyl. Second sub veneer job came out better since I didn't "wrap" the vinyl, but used the razor knife to cut the individual sides. I think it came out better than the first one that I "wrapped". Corners aren't "tight" on...

Have a Technics SA-DX950. Been a good little receiver, however, I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of sound........am I? Steve

Looking for a basic, used, amp that can handle a 4 ohm load without overheating. I've got two Dayton (passive) 8" subwoofers, but the Technics SA-810 amp doesn't like the 4 ohm load. When pushing the receiver, it will overheat and shutdown. What's a cheap, decent amp that will doe the trick...

Overall, pretty pleased with my first attempt at building a sub enclosure from scratch. Plans were simple using butt joints, glue, and nails. The reason I built this enclosure (and will be building an identical one here in the next couple days) was to get some experice before putting my 12"...

Just got my 8" Dayton sub from Parts Express along with my Cherry Vinyl wrap. Wanted the black vinyl, but they were out of it, so, got the cherry. Anyway, I'm a little confused on the box I'm going to build. Got the plans off of the Parts Express website. Plans are pretty simple, but the...

Slowly but surely, making progress on my sub project. Bought everything thru parts express, the 3.0 cubic foot 1" thick MDF box, 250 watt plate amp, and 12" DVC Dayton. What do I do for "stuffing the box"? I have some 1.5 inch foam (which I also got from parts express) that I can line the...

Can I do this? Is it possible? Thinking about building a small sealed enclosure with a relatively small (8 or 10 inch) woofer. Looking for something that borders on "punchy" or "mid-bass". For some reason, I've always liked that kind of sound!! :) I have an old Technics SA-810 receiver...

Hello: Decided I wanted to simply paint my cabinet for my sub. What type of paint should I use? Someone told me to use that black truck bed paint, but forgot to ask him if I roll it on or spray the paint on. Kind cold here in Michigan to spray it on (can't spray inside the house, but...

Stupid question of the day: There are two sets of terminals on the woofer. Do I take a jumper wire and tie the reds together and then tie the black terminals together? Sorry. Just a newbie here when it comes to actually putting stuff together!! Steve

Hello: Finally getting around to putting my Parts Express Titanic 3.0 cubit foot subwoofer enclosure together. Also have a Parts Express 250 watt plate amp and a Parts Express Dayton 12"DVC I'm going to put in it. Anyway, what's the best way to put the cabinet together? I mean, sounds like...

One of these days, I'll get around to putting together my Dayton 12" DVC, Parts Express 250 watt plate amp, and the Parts Express Heavy duty cabinet, but for now, I need something to get me by. I found a Jensen JPS12 subwoofer at JandR Music World for $69 delivered. Had to haggle a little...

Just bought a dbx 224x processor, but it didn't come with an owner's manual. Where can I find one? Thanks. Steve

up an equalizer to them? Steve

Which one is the better table? I believe the Stanton has digital outs which I find appealing (not exactly sure what to do with them.....make CD's out of your turntables?). Where are they made? Would assume the Stanton is made in China and the Music Hall somewhere over in Europe? All I...

I'm sick and tired of messing with my old Yamaha's and feel it's time to get something new. Don't want to invest too much money in a turntable, but was curious what you could recommend. I believe there are turntables out there now that have outputs so you can burn them onto a CD? Is this true...

I may be the last guy alive who still listens to vinyl, but I was wondering what the best way to clean up an old album? Your input appreciated. Steve

crossever modified by Ed Frias? Suppose to really wake up the DV62CLRs. Just curious what your experience with him was and was it worth it. And, how much did it cost? Steve

Am considering pickup up a pair of these speakers for surround speakers, the Series 2 (mid 80's speakers). Your input appreciated if these will work good for surround speakers. Thanks. Steve

Walmart has the recorder for $248 right now. Anybody have any experience with it? Quality of recording, ease of use, reliability? Thanks. Steve

I wasn't sure where to put this, but I have always wanted to know how to set up an equalizer the way it should be set up. Here's my stuff.....I've got this "dinosaur" stuff upstairs, while the home theater stuff is downstairs. Yamaha M-80 amp Yamaha C-80 preamp Yamaha GE-60 equalizer Panny...

Doesn't have to do anything special since the home theater stuff is all down in the basement. Just need a good TV for upstairs. Any suggestions? Thanks. Steve

is at it again! He is looking for a pair of JBL N38 Tower Speakers for his home theater set up. Who has the best price on these? Thanks a lot. Steve

Anybody know who has the best deal going for the BIC DV-62CLRS? Brother-in-law is looking for a center and I've had such good luck with mine and he thought mine sounded very good, he said he needs one as well. Any leads appreciated. Steve
