    Question regarding the movie, The Others

    OMG! Wow, very disturbing. :frowning: But I guess the only way to remember someone in the past was through photography. They didn't have camcorders, etc... Let them all rest in peace.

    Question regarding the movie, The Others

    I just got it on DVD. Very good movie :emoji_thumbsup: Anyway, I have a question. Did the people in the past really took pictures of the dead to capture their spirit within the photos? Just looking at those picture freaked me out! Weird.....What is this practice call?

    Attention Ricky K.....Speaker mod ?

    yup...the sub is indeed 4ohm. I just disconnected all the wires and the amp came right out. I thought about replacing the speaker wires in the sub...but those wires are soldered onto the circuit board :angry: Gotta be more careful. :emoji_thumbsup:

    Attention Ricky K.....Speaker mod ?

    I just took out the srews surrounding the amp and the amp came right off. There might be some glue, try using more force to pry the amp off the cabinet. Maybe use a flat head screwdriver. But becareful, you don't wanna break anything :emoji_thumbsup:

    Polk R10 or Yamaha NS5290 for music, especially vocals! tight budget!

    modified my speakers! Sound so much better!

    Ches, Yes, its definitely better to solder the wires. This is only my second time soldering and everything came out okay. Just take your time and don't rush. Also get a nose mask. The smoke from using the solder made me sick after a while;) Oh the part of filling the speakers...I think I used...

    question about subwoofer placement.

    Hi, currently I have a Teac 8 inch downfiring sub. Its a downfiring sub with a port facing the front. Since my room has a carpet floor, I was wondering if putting a piece of stone tile under the sub would help it sound better. Thanks
