    CD sleeves

    I'm not sure where to post this. I'm looking for those round, orange-edge plastic envelopes that protect the CDs/DVDs. These envelopes can be left on the disc while playing too. Any info would be much appreciated. Luke

    Could it be? Hour Glass SACD for 11.99!

    I went to CC two days ago and decided to buy this SACD. The price tag said 21.99 at CC. However, I remember it was 18.99 last time I was at BB so I told the cashier to call BB to check. I asked her to tell BB associate to look in the SACD section or they might not find the SACD. After 5 min of...

    DIY sub: poping sounds

    I just finished my DIY subwoofer (SVS driver). I used one of the channels of the Rotel 1095 to test it. During some parts of certain songs/movies, I can hear some loud poping sounds (like firecrackers). I don't know what I did wrong. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Ugh! Buying the wrong binding posts...

    Please help. I mistakenly bought these for my DIY subwoofer. How in the world can I install these? The MDF is 3/4" thick and I don't really want to make it thinner to install these binding posts.

    Amp for my DIY sub

    Do I really have to buy a special amp for the sub? I have an old Sony receiver (rated at 120W) and am wondering if it's okay to use it to power the sub. Will the receiver have enough power to drive the sub? I don't really want to spend more money while I have an unused amp sitting around. Thanks...

    How to use a ... router

    :b Yes you read that right. I just bought my router today and I read the manual this afternoon. I'm still not sure how to cut the circular hole out of the MDF board. Don't I have to drill a small hole first (as a guide) then start cutting from there? Or can I just start cutting from the flat...

    My 4-year-old MD deck stopped working about a year ago (wouldn't play the whole song, could not record, would eject disc automatically).

    if i have only a sub driver... what else do i need?

    I am talking about those SVS original drivers. If I use a receiver (to power the driver) and feed it with the signals from the LFE channel from the pre/pro, will it work as a sub? Or do I really have to buy the x-over? Thank you for your inputs. I'm new to this subwoofer thingy. :)

    shouldn't a 4 ohm speaker be louder than a 6 ohm one?

    Hi, I bought a bohlender center speaker which is rated at 4 ohm. I am trying to break it in and found out that my old jbl (6 ohm) sounds MUCH louder than the bohlender. I thought speakers with lower impedance will sound louder. These two speakers are connected to an old Sony receiver. Thx...
