Well, I'm willing to try anything at this point. However, I'm wondering if using traps would require me to add even more output from the subs (since there's no bass in the front row anyway)? Thanks Jeff
Well, the front row always sounds terrible as compared to the second row. perhaps I should have said this earlier, but I listen to concert DVD's in this room quite a bit. That's what sounds so bad... music. Let the sub fall off the cliff in finding nemo and your teeth will rattle out. But kick...
This was good advice... and it worked when dealing with each sub separately. I ran into problems again when I turned on both subs and remeasured. I first corrected the left sub: Left Before - Left after correction - Next, I worked with the right sub: Right before - Right...
Don't know where to get the pulleys, but I upgraded my old delta contractor saw with just the segmented belt. Although I was told I needed the pulleys, I just put the belt on anyway and the results were outstanding. Three years later, the friend who bought the saw from me is still using it with...
I built the GR-Research AV-3's for left, center, right. I'm still working on side and rear surrounds, but will likely be building a variant of the AV-1RS. They sound great so far and I'm pleased with the purchase. They're reasonably laid back and easy to listen to. They play low and integrate...
No room to move the subs out into the room. This pic should illustrate why... front of room Thanks for all the suggestions so far! Keep em' coming! Jeff
Hi Folks: I've almost finished my new theater space, and I'm not too happy with the low freq. response in my seating position. I've sought help and got lots of advice, but so far, the ideas haven't been feasible or in some cases haven't worked out. I have a BFD now and am hoping that it holds...
Thanks for your insight, Kyle!
This also sounds like good advice. Should I be using test tones to check things out? What should I look / listen for? I hear ya on the LOW power suggestion! Thanks again Kyle and also to anyone else who can spare a second to help! J
Hi All - Just rebuilt sub and it doesn't sound nearly like it did in my old room. I know that the acoustics of a room can make or break things, but this room should be much better than it's predecessor. This is the old AV-15, not the mkII. Here are the parameters: Fs: 19.7 Hz Qms: 4.71...
Hi All - My room is nearing completion and I ran some audio experiments today with very disappointing results. At the prime listening position which is the front row, the sub sounds like it's not even on! Matter of fact, I asked a friend to toggle the sub on and off while seated in my listening...
I have some HCCV material I used with my 4:3 projector that could easily be 106" 16:9. It's got eyelets for a 4:3 frame but could be modified to fit. I'd make you a sweet deal if you're interested. Say $100 shipped? Let me know... Jeff
Thanks for the replies! I'm using the AV-15 in a 6ft^3 enclosure tuned to 20 hz - 6" port. I'll have one of these subs on each side of the stage area. Thanks again! Jeff
Hi again everyone! I'm building a couple of new sub enclosures for the theater. My ports need to be about 24" long and I don't have that much depth inside the enclosure. Since these enclosures won't be visable, is there any issue with letting the port protrude partially outside of the...
First, thanks for the suggestions so far! I'm going to try them and will report back with the results. I did think of a better way to articulate what's happening: Essentially, When I start the work through the blade, I can watch the cut and the blade is perfectly focused. When the problem...
Hi All - I've got a reasonably nice cabinet saw (jet 3hp) with a good Oldham combonation blade. The table and fence have been aligned and are all within spec. Also, runout has been checked and is also acceptable. I use a vibration dampener with the above mentioned blade. When cutting mdf, I...
Just a quick note to say that Chris was great to deal with and my AV-15 arrived as described. Do business with confidence when dealing with Chris! Jeff
