    Avalanche 15 hellllllp

    I'm curious, at that wattage rating, you should have plenty of bass one would think. Given number one that the sub is placed right to begin with. One other thing, how do you know that the amp is set for 500 watts output? Does that mean that it's cranked "all the way to the right"? By...

    Yes, I've read on their forum that management will release them at some point, individually.

    is damping factor important?

    If your looking to spend under 2 grand on a 7 channel amp with 200 watts, look at the MPS-1 from Emotiva. http://www.av123.com/products_produc...s&product=18.1 Hopefully this is ok here..... Audioholics rates it as the amp of the year...

    Sub built and now......... what?

    I take it your speakers are rosewood? Two thoughts... First is..there isn't anyway to match your Rockets with the same veneer unless you "buy" the same veneer. Just a thought. Second is..you'll have to also match the stain. Added to this is...if you really want to match them, add...

    DIY cables: XLR to RCA

    Owen, you don't need a fancy stripper for coax if your going to solder the tips. Just use a sharpe knife or an exacto knife and work carefully to not cut yourself. If you end up going the coax route, find something flexable. Not that it matters over anything else but it's more convienient...

    Behringer Feedback Destroyer question

    I suppose you'll get arguments on one over the other but with as little bandwidth as your using in a sub cable, probably not anything you can hear. Just make sure to route it away from any power cords.

    Behringer Feedback Destroyer question

    Sure you can do an RCA to an XLR. Just make sure you get the right XLR end. If your using mic cable, just use the two colored wires. If your using a coax, then use the center for your hot and the shield for the signal ground or the negative.

    will these tweets and mids work together?

    Depends on your amp and again I'm not an expert, but my personal opinion is to stick with a two way crossover as 3 way are more complicated. That would mean picking a different tweeter or a different midwoofer. Will it work with those speakers listed? Probably not a problem. If the amp...

    will these tweets and mids work together?

    Mind you, I'm not even close to being a novice on this subjec Joe, but let's look at a couple of things. First the tweeter. *Frequency range: 3,500 - 25,000 Hz Notice the low freq on the tweeter? 3,500? Your woofer... *Frequency range: 40-2,200 Hz Notice the high on them...

    installing electrical outlet...

    Your going to have a lot of things on that circuit, and although you can probably get by with a 15 amp circuit, I'd put in a 20 amp. I'm only adding this because most house circuits are 15 amp. If you add a really big amp later, you'll be glad you did.

    Ascendant Audio closeout

    From all the posts I've read from Dan Wiggins...imho, he's a stand up type of guy. Kudos for not only setting the record straight but also handling it in a very professional manner. Now on to the other......If they aren't gone...those are some crazy prices on the 18 inchers..

    How do you store your discs?

    I keep mine in the jewel cases. I made a bookshelf to store them all. Hopefully I won't need to expand for a while...

    Ive updated my DIY cable gallery.

    That would be one way to do it. I'm guessing it's three wire, so you would simply get a bit of power cable at Lowe's or Home Depot and splice a section in. If you can, take the cable down to one of the two mentioned above or to a local hardware store. Show them what you have and they can...

    Let your voice be heard!! TAKE THE DUALDISC SURVEY!

    Too much to do about nothing. I've only a couple of complaints about DualDisc. 1. The format should be listed on the disc, period...If it has a 24 bit 88.4 kHz stereo track, that should be listed that way...If it only had Dolby Digital 5.1, then it should have that on the packaging...

    Swans an upgrade from Polk RTI line?

    Well said and I think by his post it's obvious. Meeks....buying speakers is really pretty subjective. You really owe it to yourself to evaluate the brands your thinking of buying. After all...it's you that's going to be listening to them, and not somebody on a forum that could be several...

    So is Dual Disc making a splash or sinking?

    Ohhh.....DualDisc will ruin my player!!! So far the only reports I've read are warnings from manufactures who all seemed to jump on the parinoid wagon out of fear of their product being the only one that wont play them. Out of all the sites I read, I've yet to see one single post how a...

    Recommendation on CD catalogue software

    Ron, don't know if this is what you were using before but at least it's based on Dbase. So you "could" port it over if this is the case to another program that's based on Dbase.. Anyway...Organize Your Collection, went south.....it's now freeware.. Yep...I've been using this for 7 years for my...

    Paladin dies and Parts Express crimp handle?

    Yep, a Paladin die with a 20 dollar Parts Express handle. You need to adjust the squeeze just a bit. Just remove the little screw toward the jaw of the handle and move the adjuster a couple of notches. I didn't come up with this. I found it on another site. This is copied and pasted from...

    Mine works like a champ. Look at the pics of them. They look exactly alike. I've using mine for Canare RCA's without a hitch.

    Who do you give the M/C treatment to ?

    The solution is for a standard digital connection for both. I don't care who or what, but lets get a standard and hope that the audio companies also included a couple of connections and not just one. Of my pedestal.:b In the meantime, I'm using a Pioneer 47 for both and realize this...
