Hi guys.I bought one of the Parts Express 15in 1000 w titanic kits a few years ago,and it thumped pretty good for a sealed box design,but after a few years I got bored with it.Rather than invest in a new sub.I called the P.E. tech line ,and had them run the simulattions for how much port tube...

for their front l/r channels?I recently picked up a MINT pair of JBL L150A towers.I traded a set of Mordaunt-Short MS 908's for them.I am really having a blast with them.Had been recently refoamed,and cabinets are darn near perfect.Using a Rotel RSX1055 reciever with a 130w Rotel amp for...

Hey guys...I am thinking about trading a buddy of mine my Mordaunt-Short MS 908 towers for a near mint pair of old JBL L150's,These things listed new for about $1400 in late 70's- early 80's.There are pretty big,10 in front driver with a 10 in passive ,believe a 5 in midrange and 1 in...

I recently got an M&K MX-90 sub,good size cabinet,two 12's in a push pull setup.Just by using it a week or so,I would say it is just a bit more than my Rava.Only thing that bugs me is that the amp is only 125w.Would there be any problem in my getting a good plate amp,Parts Express 250, or a...

Anyone have any experience with this sub?It is from the early 1990's I believe.15 in, 400watt sealed.Any info/experience would be great. Thanks Greg

Hey guys, I am currently looking to upgrade from my Rava sub in my 19x14 room.I have looked a quite a few of the big hitters, SVS PB-2isd,Adire Dharman,a sub by Brian Bunge,and Kyle at Acoustic Visions.Kyle reccomend a Datyon Titanic MIII in a ported enclosure with a Rythmic 360 w amp.Also...

Has anyone found any specs ETC for a Rava in SPL readings similar to the page that has a bunch of tests by Tom Nousaine?Just wondering how the Rava fits in the sub "food chain". Thanks Greg

I sold my JVS 502 DVD player to a friend after I got the Rotel RVD1060 last month.I am slowly getting him hooked on HT stuff:D .The day after he took the JVC home he called me asking about getting a subwoofer...I told him about the DLS 10 from Parts Express,and he came by last Sat and we ordered...

I am looking to get a little more "oomph" .Room is approx 15x13.Currently I am using an Adire Rava.I am thinking about getting a second one,how much more would this add for LFE performance on DVD's?I know doubling the wattage gets about 3db ,but not sure how much the additional sub would...

I am currently running an HK 520 with a Rotel 1070 130w amp for the front channels.I am thinking about upgrading to a Rotel 1050 reciever/1070 amp,or the 1066/1075 pre pro combo.Has anyone gone this route?And will the performance difference be worth the $1200/2500 cost??I listen to about 60/40...

Has anyone else messed with these ?? I just bought the 25 ft of shielded teflon audio cable and the "crush" type RCA connectors.I made proper length cables for the CDP to reciever and amp to reciever.I'm still on the "fence" on the cables etc making HUGE sound differences,not sayng its not...

Got bored yesterday afternoon,so I decided to finally try to make a flexy rack,been meaning to for a while, sinch I ran out of rack space.All the racks in the price range I wanted to keep(CHEAP)just did nothing for me.So, a quick ck on the TNT site,some scribbled notes,and off to Lowes I went.I...

Since the 520 doesnt appear to have an analogue bypass to use the CD player DAC instead of the recievers........... 1)in just running in stereo mode,even using RCA connectors,the HK's DAC still does some converting? 2)Running the RCA cables to 2 of the 5 channel inputs(for SACD etc?)as I am...

I currently belong to the "12 GA" Home Depot speaker wire croud,but reading some other sites I have seen some interesting stuff.I have read about Radio Shack magnet wire used,suposed to be just great.Then also the Cat5 DIY's stuff.I can see how multi strand Cat5 could function,but small gauge...

Well ,I 'm gonna order the stuff tomorrow,it will be the Rava type encloser,about 2.8cubit feet,3/4 MDF, running a Rythmik 350 amp, and a Stryke AV12.I am hoping this combo will come close to 100db at around mid 20's htz.Will this be possible with this combo??It will be in a (approx) 14by10...

I'm about to take my first jump into DIY,and was wanting to use the Rava type enclosure that was available on another site.Appears that the link I have no longer works.Does anyone have any info on where else to get this box??? Thanks Greg

I've seen various threads on haw much space one should have for the reciever to properly breathe .so to say.Due to the design of my rack,2 shelf,glass front ,open rear..I've done one of the major "no-no"s" I have a 2 dvd players and my Dish box on top of the HK520.:b .One DVD, old Pioneer...

I'm in MAJOR upgrade mode:D .Been thinking of replacing my old AR TSW510's,but dont think I can afford any of the mass market stuff that would sound much better.I was cking out some of the GR Research AV+1's and ran across Brians line.Does anyone have a set of his T-1 towers?Do they sound as...

Both these subs are about the same price and specs.Only difference is that the Adire might have a little more SPL . I'm split 50/50 on which way to go.Both companys appear to have incredable customer service etc.Any thoughts ,or is it so close its just "do I want a black sub,or a venier"...

I'm REAL new to DIY and kicking around different idea's ,SVS,a custom by Brian B,Parts express ETC.I was wondering if it would be worthwile to use the enclosure from my old JBL PSW1000 sub and use a good driver and amp?Audio Review has a lot of good stuff said about this cheap sub,doesnt get...

A while back I read a post about s video hookup vs composite on DBS hookup.Basically it delt with the possibility that better PQ can be had using composite due the the better comb filter in the TV than the DBS reciever.I have my stuff hooked up both ways,and just really cant tell a...

I'm bit by the upgrade bug by reading all your posts about your DIY's subs :D I'm thinking about either a SVS 25-31 or a Adire Dharma.I know the SVS is a proven winner,but all the stuff Iv'e read about the Dharma,specs' etc,look great.I also just love the way it looks,very beautiful sub.By just...

I saw this in a "home theater "type mag years ago,cant remember the name .But this guy was truely insane:D ,one of those "if I get that bad, I'll. stop":D .Anyway this guy built a rack of something like 10-12 15 in drivers,about 6 feet high,all powered:emoji_thumbsup: ,in his basement in a small...

This may be old news,but I just found the long out of production "Live Rust"concert on DVD at Sam Goody's.It is vidio based,decent transfer ,and remixed in DD5.1 and DTS5.1

this is a kinda lame question,but which would I need to get to use the logic 7 setup on my HK520?Also what is the diference between the two? thanks Greg

When watching certain channels on Dish network that are labeled as DD,sometimes both the DD light and the Pro logic II lights come on.I remember reading about this somewhere but cant seem to find the info again.Is this normal or what?

I have been hearing a lot of stories of right rear shannel inop in Logic 7 mode lately.I dont have mine running the 7 speaker setup so I dont know if mine is affected.Is it just some of the 520's or do all of this model have this flaw? Greg

I am thinking of upgrading from the JBL,but not really sure on what to do.The JBL has great reviews on "Audio Review", and I still like it.Just wanting a little more:D Anyone have any experiences with this older sub??I would hate to spend a fair amount of cash and end up with a downgrade.My...
