Hey guys, I've had my AV1s finished for about a month now, but only recently got my website up to display them. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks to Brian Bunge for his awesome veneering tutorial! Click on the DIY Speaker Link: http://www.andrewlin.net/

After many weeks of work, I am finishing my cabinets. I just had some last minute questions. I'm on my fourth coat of a wipe on polyurathane (gloss). However, I want to get a more high gloss finish like on Brian Bunge's most recent cabinets. Do I just need to finish it with steel wool? Or do I...

Do you have a circle jig? if so... drill a hole in the middle of the cutout and stick the guide pin and adjust your jig to the proper length and cut away. It works kinda like a compass... If you don't have a jig... get one! or make one.. I use the Jasper Jig that can be purchased from Parts...

hmm 1cu.ft is not a set limit, I would just like to keep it as small as possible trying to pack everything in the car for the long trip back to San Jose last quarter almost left me with no seat =). Seeing pictures of Jack Givey's 1 cu.ft DVC 12" sub with the 250W plate amp as given me more...

wow Thanks for all the replies guys! You get up too early.. well you are on the east coast as well. So then are my choices between using plate amp and using a separate amp and linkwitz with a 1 cu.ft box with a PartsExpress DVC 12"? Or does this depend on the size of the enclosure since I...

Hey guys - So I've been looking around at the DIY subs that people have been making and I've been inspired to make one. However since I am still a student living in the dorms, it needs to be a rather small sub. I had seen a couple versions using the Adire Audio Shiva driver with a 1 cu.ft...

Very Very nice!! When you bi-wire is it just four speaker wire strands.. with banana's on all four on one end and then two wires connected each banana (2 plugs)? And how did ya braid them all together? any techniques??

UCLA I'd be there if it wasn't summer! What is this for btw?

Wow thanks guys for all your support! I'm pretty sure that the cross overs are not shorting out as that happened to me before I started the enclosures when I was testing out just the crossovers. As for the filling, shouldn't the black hole material be enough filling or do I also need the...

Well Ive been only testing one speaker aganist one speaker b/c I only have one AV1 built. As far as I know the speaker is wired correctly, I mean it sounds fine, just not as good ias I thought it was, there is space behind the speaker as it is rear ported. I also have installed the stripping...

So today I finished up glueing together my AV1 enclosures with the Black Hole material and Cross overs in place inside. I was anxious to try them out so I put in the drivers and connected them all together and put them against my current HT speakers the Polk Audio RT35i's. Listening to them...

Thanks for the GREAT explanation. I really appreciate it! I'll be sure to keep you guys updated on the process and hopefully post some pics.

I am about to start on some AV1 enclosures and I have never veneered before. I pretty much understand the process to veneer the AV1 enclosures but the veneer wrap for the horizontal sides still baffle me. Do you cut the veneer to length and then wrap it around? Will that give you a good...

Ditto... I'd be interested depending on cost.

I just wanted to know what the major differences there were between the two.

I was looking around at recievers and I had decided on the HK AVR520, however I would just like to know what other recievers that are in the same price range that would give me more bang for the buck. Thanks!

I can get both for about the same price for my fronts and rears.. which ones should I go with? Also is there a major difference between the Titans and the Atoms?

I was looking around at recievers and I had decided on the HK AVR520, however I would just like to know what other recievers that are in the same price range that would give me more bang for the buck. Thanks!

Is it okay to have the Polk Audio RT35i speakers for both the front right/left as well as the rear? or should the rears be smaller?

Hey guys, I wanted to know what you guys would recommend for a center channel that would go well with my Polk RT35s and a Velodyne Sub. I had orginally looked in to the Polk CC-370 however my dad wants to get a smaller, less imposing sub. He looked into a Bose center channel, a very thin (in...

hey guys, this is my first attempt at a home theater setup. I've been reading up about the products for the past couple of weeks and have come up with the following setup. My budget is around $1000 for speakers and reciever. I also have employee discount at Circuit City, about 40-50% off...
