I called yesterday, they want $20 shipped for the large grille and $11 shipped for the small lower grille. I'll probably try to redo them myself but its nice to know they still sell them in case I'm not happy with the job I do myself.

Look at the Adire Audio Tempest, I got one about 3 years ago and its still kicking.

The hot glue method sounds good. Do you have problems with the corners looking right when you do the sides one at a time instead of doing the corners like the above site shows?

I have some Creative Soundworks Tower 2's that are 3 years old and my cats have really trashed the cloth. I think I'll try either Radio Shacks fabric or parts express. Most threads I found referred to wood or MDF grills but mine are plastic and kinda pop into place. Is contact cement my best...

Well I got the colors almost perfect using the multipoint convergence however there's stilll the bowing of the picture most notable in the bottom of the screen. Is there any way to adjust that like with computer monitors. I didn't see any options in the menu but perhaps there's something...

Got up today and turned on the TV and its picture is messed up. The colors aren't converged correctly. However it isn't messed up everywhere just like the lower 1/3 or 1/4 of the screen and some in the upper corners. It can't be fixed using the multipoint convergence tool. When I try to use the...

I was under the impression that optical was the best method of delivering the audio. Also I thought coax was the kinda cable used for cable TV. I thought the plugs used for L/R audio is called RCA cables?

My toshiba has begun to skip on discs. I read some reviews on the Sony DVP-NS50P and they were pretty good, much better than the Phillips DVP642/37 which apparently has a short lifespan. I ended up picking up the Sony at walmart tonight for $75 and get it unpacked and there's no optical out, WTF...

well i got some of their dual bannana plugs off of ebay and they seem to get the job done quite well, I'd be more concerned with the gauge of the wire as opposed to the brand

andrus I just used a table saw to cut the pieces and used wood glue on all edges and finishing nails to temporary hold the pieces and then I used dowels to get a good hold on the wood

well after adire sent me anoter ava250 amp after a defective first amp my tempest is done and its damn awesome, one question what do you guys set the sub out cutoff frequency on you receiver at, my sony es is defaulted at 120hz, also i gotta say the 4" wood feet at lowe's work pretty damn good

I just got some white general use caulk or you can get the clear silicon to seal the cracks, if you make the sub well you shouldn't even need to use it but its a good thing to do though. To check the auto turn on see if the red light in the upper right turns green when a signal is sent to it...

i checked the fuse and it looks ok, it doesn't have a break in the wire

how could it be the fuse since its got power and the power light comes on

ok guys i got back from the thing I had to go to and I just got done testing the amp and I"m afraid its not looking good, I set the amp on auto on and hooked up my left main speaker wire into the high level input and then hooked up the amp to the left main tower at 90 degree phase and half...

the reason i'd rather not take the drive out is because i used wood screws, plus i can see the on coil so the only other way i could have wired it up on accident would be in series which should work anyway, I'm definately gonna try hooking the amp into one of my CS tower II's but I gotta go...

no the high level in's don't work i just touched the voice coil posts with the speaker wire that runs to the main speaker and it worked, I did that just to make sure the sub isn't defective, i checked my wiring from the amp to the one voice coil, I can't check the parallel wiring cause I don't...

ok i got my tempest and AVA250, I hooked up the two voice coils in parallel + to + and - to -, then i hooked up the amp to one of the coils but i have no output, I used a rhino cable and hooked it up the R input on the line input, i turned on the amp and put the other power switch on auto...

what gain setting should i set the amp on once its in the enclosure? I'm planning on defeating the amp crossover and letting the receiver do the work.

one more question since i'm gonna use wood screws i wanna make sure that the sub and amp is working ok before I install them since I don't wanna remove them for a few years, so can i just hook up the sub to the amp while its sitting on the ground so I know they're working, I know it won't sound...

well i picked up some #8 1" long wood screws while I was grocery shopping at Wal Mart that I think I'm gonna use, I don't plan on taking the driver out ever so I gonna say screw the tnuts, they seem kinda coarse thread but have about a 1/4" smooth area toward the head of the screw but I suppose...

ok i was just playing around with the tnuts I got and the bolts I got separately from Lowe's, they are both 10-24 size but the bolt won't go in all the way into the nut, i tried several different nuts and bolts, I'm about to just use 3/4" wood screws and forget the tnuts

go to www.adireaudio.com and check out the tempest page, toward the bottom you'll see a link for sealed enclosure designs, I just completed the midQ design but I'm waiting for my amp and sub to arive, I think a sealed enclosure would suit a music preference better than a vented enclosure and...

have you thought of spending another $30 and going with a tempest in a sealed enclosure which would be good for music an HT

you may want to also put a side to side brace also

ok I've finished my mid Q sealed tempest box and covered it with parts express vinyl, the box seems sturdy I used finshing nails to hold the sides in place and then i used wood glue and 3/16" diameter 1 1/2" long dowels for a good hold and of course I used wood glue on edges and I caluked inside...

what do you mean by "use on of the finishing nails as a drill bit"?

could you link me to a good trastector surge protector with cable tv protection, all i could find was surge protectors for data lines, I don't really care about bells and whistles I'm just worried about protecting my equipment, I don't neeed any switching options, I had thought that line...
