    HELP my RPTV died?

    In the middle of Spongebob, the video signal went out. I thought it was part of the show and I was waiting for Spongebob to open his eyes, but nothing. Sound is working perfectly. It went out of extended warranty two months ago. What is this going to cost me???

    Any pics of "stylish" grills for my IB?

    I just used grill cloth on 1/2 pine painted white, and rounded over on the edges, and it sticks out too much and is not very appealing. How thin can it be made, and got any pics?

    Sony HT in Box "Protect" Mode

    My friend came over the other day and was telling me he was having problems with his Sony HT in a box, where if he turns the volume up, it shows "Protect" mode and gets no sound. I don't own any Sony receivers, and am too far away to stop over. Anyone have any ideas, because he is ready to...

    Hooke up my new IB in my attic

    What can I say. I have not even played with any levels, and it just is far superior than my old sub. It just give a nice, fuller sound, even at low volumes. I could not be happier with it, and my wife has no complaints because it is hidden. Just have to order another driver and take some...

    Ideas on mounting my IB

    I finished building the manifold and am ready (when a minute is free) to mount the manifold in my attic. It is a 15" x 15" x 8" box, with a smaller vent extending down from the box and through the drywall (about the size of a heating register). For visual purposes in the main room, I have to...

    Hook up both coils for my IB?

    I am in the middle of my IB install in my attic. I have one Dayton DVC 12" (so far) and a PE 250w amp. I have read that when running two drivers, only one voice coil for each should be used, and wired in parallel. What do you do when you have only one driver? I assume I want to it at 4ohm...

    Would this sub idea work?

    I just received my Dayton DVC 12" sub and PE 250w amp. I have plans to build a small sub due to size constraints, and was thinking about a 1.2 cu ft sealed. I really like the idea of IB in my attic, but don't have the money or need for something so earthshaking. I would also prefer a larger...

    How to clean my RPTV screen?

    I have a Mitsubishi 45" RPTV that is about 5 years old and two kids. Although there are only a couple of slight scratches that are not visible unless up close, the grime seems impossible to get off! I have tried a few different cleaners without much success. Being made of some sort of...

    Suggestions for my first sub, different than Ron-P's.

    I would love to build a Sonotube just because, but space is a big issue. I have satellites on the sides of my RPTV, a hallway on the left, the my current subwoofer on the right under the satellite, and a wall-mounted flexyrack for my components, and then a closet right next to the sub. I am...

    Cannot get DTS to work on my Yamaha receiver

    Just got a new receiver with DTS and hooked it up to my Playstation 2 with an optical cable. I get all different modes and have the DTS selector set to Auto, but none of the DVD's will play in DTS. I change to DTS playback in the language choices, but nothing works. So far I have tried 3 DTS...

    Rear surround problem/question.

    After buying a new 5.1 DTS receiver, I bit the bullet and bought some good S-video, optical cables and speaker wire, getting set to test my new setup. But to my dismay, as with my old receiver, my rears were sounding as if they were blown. I did not calibrate anything or set any levels since...

    Someone throw me a bone!

    I am new to this speaker building stuff, and need some quick advice. My wife just called and said either she is in labor or is having some bad, rhythmic pains. I am going to build a sealed subwoofer, with the PE Titanic MK2 10" and 150w plate amp. Before I order the parts, I am trying to...
