    Toshiba DVD Mpeg?

    Thanks guys. I am using Sonic MyDVD software that came with my DELL computer. I simply hooked my camcorder to the computer and began capturing the video via Sonic. Once completed, I chose to burn the DVD and didn't change anything as the process was quite simple. Is this software too...

    Toshiba DVD Mpeg?

    Hi guys, I have a Toshiba SD-9200 DVD player and cannot get it to play DVDs I burned on my computer. I burned the DVD in the .mpg format but when I put it in the player, it just sits there loading. Is it not possible to play these type of recordings with this player? I know it cannot...

    SoundStream Tuner Problem

    I have a SoundStream T-1 Tuner that I picked up on a eBay a couple months ago. It requires a coaxial input for FM reception. I bought a Terk FMedge powered antenna ($40)for the unit. The reception was not real good, but I was ok with it. It worked for a few days, then my FM reception crapped...

    1 Box -- two 8" ported -- two 8" sealed

    Brian, I appreciate all of your efforts. It's nice to be able to come to a location and swap ideas and dry the wetness behind the ear :) FYI: The box that I threw together is 1ft^3 with two 8" drivers. I used a 3" port that is 13.5" long. I stuffed it with poly-fill and I'm running them in...

    1 Box -- two 8" ported -- two 8" sealed

    Brian, Here are the specs: Qts = 0.38 Vas = 33.0L Fs = 39.94Hz Re = 3.27ohm Xmax = 0.007m Z = 4.00ohm Qms = 4.07 Qes = 0.42 SPL = 88.80dB Pe = 220W dia = 0.203M Let me see if I have this straight. A sealed enclosure will play below it's tuned frequency because it doesn't roll...

    1 Box -- two 8" ported -- two 8" sealed

    Oh, BTW -- I used WinISD freeware to get the specs of the speaker. I lost all the paperwork. It's Fs is 39.94. When I plugged in a ported enclosure, it resulted in 27.5 liters at a tuning frequency of 42.23 Hz. These measurements are based on one speaker. When I plugged in a sealed...

    1 Box -- two 8" ported -- two 8" sealed

    Thanks Brian, Actually, it's for my HT/stereo listening at home. They are car woofers that I've had for some time. I have two of them in a ported box in my corner. They sound decent, but you can't ask alot from 8's. I want to make good use of them until I decide to upgrade. It's not a...

    1 Box -- two 8" ported -- two 8" sealed

    I have four 8" drivers that I'm looking to enclose. My question is, if I tune the first half of the box by porting it (two 8") at 42Hz (according to the driver's specs)and seal the second half of the box (two 8") and tune it at 75Hz, am I going to run into any cancellation issues? Cancellation...

    Can I buy bulk cable without the connectors?

    Chu, You are jumping all over the board. What is so difficult about answering where to buy patch cable, bulk cable, audio cable, rca cable, whatever you want to call it? You said go to phoenix gold, but they do not list any items like this. I was looking for an online website that sells...

    Can I buy bulk cable without the connectors?

    Maybe I'm not making myself clear. I have about 20 of these gold interconnects. This would make 10 audio cables. But I need the cable. I'm looking for approx 30 feet worth of cable. Now, can anyone tell me where to buy cable?

    Can I buy bulk cable without the connectors?

    Yes I'm talking about making interconnects. I have a bunch of these nice gold plated "RCA ends" that I want to put to use. No one else with any ideas?

    Can I buy bulk cable without the connectors?

    In 1994 I purchased approx 100 feet of Phoenix Gold Super Triple Shielded Cable. I have a bunch of their gold interconnects and want to put them to good use. Is there a place where I can buy this "saphire blue" cable and solder my own connectors to it? If this "old" cable is no longer...

    Klipsch warranty through internet purchase?

    I just spoke to a guy named Richard with Crazy Eddie http://shop.store.yahoo.com/crazyeddieonline/klipsch.html about purchasing a pair of Klipsch RF-7. He matched a competitor's price as advertised, and even knocked another $15 off for a total of $1,450 (truck freight would by another $146)...

    Earthquake 8" Subs

    This was really surprising to see this low response (2 people). I thank you both! Surely there are some knowledgeable individuals out there who could advise on port length to tune this box to a "better" level. Yes, it is a car woofer. Believe it or not, these things cost over $100 a piece...

    Earthquake 8" Subs

    I realize most don't use card audio in their home, but why waste it if you already have it? The point is, an 8" car sub is not going to be that much different than an 8" home sub. So, I'm looking for the best way to port this box with the given air space. Heck, we can even pretend their home...

    Klipsch RF-7

    Thank you for the input. I was pleased to read your posts. Sometimes you just need a nudge before you take the leap! From my understanding, Klipsch is an efficient speaker in comparison to others. The amplifier I plan to use is 200 watts X 5 channels. Though it is rated at 300 watts X 5...

    Klipsch RF-7

    Hi All !! I'm putting together a new HT. My preference is 50% music 50% video. Now the main debate is on my preference of music. I listen to heavy metal (Ozzy, Metallica, Ac/DC) mostly and have read wonderful reviews from others "metal heads" on the Klipsch products. The only debate I've seen...
