    Storing large collections of DVDs with small children

    That's exactly what I use, and like I said, I put extra pages into each of them, so they each hold 50 discs. I can't say for sure that I've never had a dvd scratched, but I haven't noticed it yet. This means I haven't looked too closely at the bottom side of the discs, and I haven't ever had one...

    Storing large collections of DVDs with small children

    I don't have any rugrats running around, but I did want to get rid of the huge shelving units. I went to the DVD book (much like the CD binders that most people have). Mine are made by Case Logic, and they come with space for 40 dvd's per binder, but you can get extra pages, and fit about 50...

    orig. SVS drivers for a DIY sub?

    OK, Geoff and others: I did the corner-loaded frequency test. I posted the pictures back on THIS PAGE As you'll see, it raised my response in the 20-40 Hz range pretty well. Additionally, you'll see that the big response down REALLY low (sub 18Hz) is gone. I got to thinking the other...

    wow, 5"... that's a big difference. That's the difference between 21 Hz and 19 Hz tune in my box...

    orig. SVS drivers for a DIY sub?

    happy to see you're still up. 1. I ran the "NCH tone generator" for the test tones on my laptop, through an RCA jack into the amp. Therefore, there was no crossover in the equation. I know that this isn't exactly how it will perform when driven by the signal coming from my other receiver...

    orig. SVS drivers for a DIY sub?

    Sorry, been kind of busy lately. My wife decided that since I got to kick up all kinds of dust in the garage, she'd paint a room! so, our laundry room is now red, and since I got to "help out" (finish the job she started, LOL) I have been one tired puppy. At any rate, still using the Kicker...

    orig. SVS drivers for a DIY sub?

    Thanks to all for all the help. After spending a great deal of time this week working with modeling spreadsheets in Excel, I decided to go for around 4 Cu.Ft. I then went over to Home Depot last night, and got home and started cutting... I just put the last side on the box this morning (ok, so...

    orig. SVS drivers for a DIY sub?

    Thank you all for your responses thus far. They've been very helpful. Ideas are running through my mind. To answer your question, the Technics is "officialy" rated for 4 ohm load (as per the manual), on the front channels. It is a 5 x 100 amp (supposedly) at 8ohm, model SA-AX540. It was my...

    orig. SVS drivers for a DIY sub?

    Hey guys, been hanging around a little here, and I am working my way up to finally building a DIY sub (or 2) I think. Problem is, everytime I think I've made my mind up to do something, I re-think the whole thing. Here's my current subwoofer set-up... I have 1 Sony SA-WM40 corner loaded. I...

    SA-WM40 upgrades

    I've heard of a few people playing around with a shiva, though I can't find the post right now. Hopefully someone will jump in here. I've also heard of people attempting to elongate the port, to lower the box tune point, but again, I'm without a link or reference. I personally have...

    Sony SAWM20 Subwoofer - Please help

    I misread your original post... and thought that you had the sawm40, not the 20. I have the SAWM40. I don't know much about the 20, though I think that the rest of the information I gave you would apply to both. SOrry for any confusion.

    Sony SAWM20 Subwoofer - Please help

    1. The sub being too close to your TV won't cause your sub to have interference, it will cause the TV to have interference. It was a good move to get an aftermarket sub cable. Look at the individual cables / wires running between your tv, receiver, sub, speakers, and any other equipment you...

    Sony SAWM20 Subwoofer - Please help

    ah-ha! I have that same setup (receiver and sub anyway). I hopefully can shed some light on the situation. 1. The noise situation: what are you using to wire your sub to your amp? If you're using a single "rca" type wire, then check to see what it is running near. The cheap cable that comes...

    Kicker Solo-baric sub for Home Theater

    Hi all. First, I'd like to thank you for reading this. I am fairly new to home theater, but very handy, and I have a good general knowledge of tools, and the way things work. I was into car audio about 5 years ago. I was sorting through some things in the basement, and found a slightly used...
