    Any ideas on where to get a transformer for a Rocket UFW-12 Subwoofer?

    So I have a problem. I have a Rocket UFW-12 Subwoofer that's been out of commission for a while. We had a baby, moved, yada yada but I was finally able to get it to a repair shop in town I've had success with. I thought it was an issue with the amplifier because it kept blowing fuses. The...

    Dish DVR vs Verizon FIOS - Anyone compare?

    I am moving to a new house and will have Verizon FIOS for the Internet. I have had Dish Network for the past 4+ years and been happy with it. It would be a little cheaper to go with the Verizon all together as a package, but if the DVR isn't as good it might drive me crazy. My father has...

    Does it matter if you run speaker wire through the same holes as electrical wires?

    Hey guys, thanks a lot for the answers. I'll make sure I follow these guidelines. Avoiding serious injury and/or death would also be a good thing. Thanks again! Brian

    Does it matter if you run speaker wire through the same holes as electrical wires?

    Quick question- does it hurt to run the speaker and electrical wires through the same holes instead of drilling double holes through everything? I don't want to run into any problems with the wires touching each other but if it doesn't matter I'll put them through together. I don't know to much...

    Will a Da-Lite High Power screen work well with the Pannasonic AE900?

    I am trying to make a decision on a screen to go with the Panny AE900. Because of the room and it's usage, I'm looking at electric screens. I will have full control over the light in the room. The Da-Lite power screens seem to be reasonably priced and get pretty good reviews from what I've seen...

    Best way to sound dampen and setup new building

    Thanks Jeff, that sounds like it's more in the realm of my budget right now. That should do a better job with the walls, but the floor is probably the weakest area. Right now it is plywood and the building is about a foot off the ground. Would something like this work- Seal every joint in the...

    Best way to sound dampen and setup new building

    Thanks for the info Jay. My problems are a limited amount of funds for the room plus the size of the room is a bit tight. Being 11 1/2' wide, the room is already a little tightfor the syuff going into it. Doubling the walls will cause me to lose space that I am already short on. The room also...

    Best way to sound dampen and setup new building

    Hi everybody. I have a garage that I am closing up and finishing the inside for some workspace/officespace. There is a wooden building connected to the garage that I am also planning on finishing the inside for use as a theater room. The room is 17 1/2 x 11. It is actually not built on a...

    Yamaha RXV2500 gets pretty hot... is it normal?

    It's actually sitting on top of a dresser for the moment, with nothing on top of it so space around it isn't an issue.

    Yamaha RXV2500 gets pretty hot... is it normal?

    I just got a Yamaha RXV2500 and right now it is running a pair of Onix Rocket 750s at 6 OHMs. The top gets hot pretty quickly. Not burn yourself hot, but it's hot. My old Yamaha (rxv793 I think) never seemed to get that hot (that I noticed), though it wasn't having to work as hard. After 15 or...

    Speaker and receiver setup - $2500 budget

    Well, I took the first step. I ordered a pair of rosewood Rocket 750's off the B-stock list for under $800. I talked to Mark, who owns the comapny, and he said if I wasn't happy with them I could return them even though they were B stock. He also said that when I'm ready to order more he would...

    Speaker and receiver setup - $2500 budget

    Thanks for the suggestions. I hadn't looked at the Rockets before but from what I've been able to find out about them, they are defineitely a possibility. Can a receiver like the Yamaha rx2500 do a nice job with a pair of speakers like the Rocket 750s or a similar setup? I'm not sure at what...

    Speaker and receiver setup - $2500 budget

    Thanks Seth. I guess I should mention that this system will probably be used for about 75% movie, 25% music. I do love to sit back and enjoy the tunes though...

    Speaker and receiver setup - $2500 budget

    I am in the process of looking for a speaker setup for my theater project. I'm checking out all of the local shops but I always appreciate suggestions from this board. The room is 17 x 11 1/2. The ceiling comes to a peak down the center. The flooring will be wood laminate. I will be projecting...

    Need setup advice- Very little planning time!

    OK, this is a bit crazy, but here goes. I am a portrait photographer and am moving to a house where our studio and home are on the same property. The studio building is seperate from the house and there is a 17x11.5 room that I planned on using as my meeting room and room to project slideshows...

    Any experience buying from proviewdigital.com?

    Just curious if anyone has used proviewdigital for any items. They look good on reseller ratings but have a limited number of reviews. They have the lowest price I've found from a reputable dealer so far (on the Panasonic ae900). Others I've looked at are visual apex and B&H. I just want to make...

    Is Panasonic AE900 the right projector for my needs?

    Hi everybody. Here is my situation. I am a portrait photographer and am looking for a projector that I can use with my laptop to display slideshows for clients. I figured that since I am setting up this room with a projector I may as well get one also capable of doing a nice job with movies and...

    Help Sub output barely audible

    I'm getting output, but next to nothing. I checked the receiver settings and can't find anything funny. I'll try to hook it up to someone else's receiver or I'll have to take it to the place I got it and have them check it out. Thanks for the help. Brian B

    Help Sub output barely audible

    If it is turned on and I go to plug the RCA in, it just pumps out loud bass, and I have to turn off the woofer to hook it back up. So I don't think it is a problem with the sub itself, since it obviously still has a lot of power, but once it is hooked up properly it's basically like it isn't...

    Help Sub output barely audible

    Hi. I was listening to some music today that usually has a good amount of bass but my subwoofer didn't seem to be working. I put in a DVD which I knew had a lot of bass and there was only a little bit of sound coming from the sub, like if the volume was turned down to almost nothing. I checked...

    Is the Rav2000 preprogrammed for all Yamaha receivers?

    Hello. Is there a place to find out if the Rav2000 is preprogrammed to operate a Yamaha RX-V793 receiver? Or maybe an MX-500? My original remote doesn't work, so I wouldn't be able to have another remote "learn" its functions. I also have a Sony 35" tv, CD player, VCR, and a Proscan DVD player...

    Where to get a replacement for a Yamaha remote?

    Hello. I own a Yamaha RX-V793 receiver and the remote, a RAV 150, recently died on me. The only websites I can find that can get one want around $150 (which is rediculous) and I have yet to find one anywhere else. I have found Rav 130s and Rav 160s on ebay, and they look identital but have a...
