I'm going to try and put some fibredecor on mine. Going for that textured look. Just need to get some black stain to mix in. Never tried it before and never heard of anyone trying it before, so I don't really know what to expect.
I don't really know anything about the Quatro subs, but download WinISD Pro You enter the T/S parameters of the sub into the program along with box dimesions, ports etc. This will give you a good idea on how that sub will perform in that enclosure. For your ports take a look at this link...
The only area where I'm lacking faith is in the 'rules of the system'. In this thread, you've mentioned THX, ATSC, SMPTE and the ISO. If the rules are objective as you say, then there would there would be no differences in the rules of these different organizations. But there is. Like I...
George, perhaps you need to read it again and realize that, in essence, I posted the same thing as you. I really don't disagree with anything you said. I just can't for some reason, accept your rigid approach. But hey, that's the good thing about the internet. You get all sorts of opinions...
And likewise, artistic integrity and image fidelity can never be the starting point if personal preference has any priority. And which of those 3 is more important to the customer do you think? There is nothing wrong with starting from personal preference when the 'rules' you speak of are...
Basically this is what it comes down to. After all the reading and experimenting I settled on a 8' wide screen sitting 12' away. That gives me a viewing angle of around 37 degrees. To me, it's perfect. Meaning that the size of the screen makes up for the artifacts and imperfections. Sure if I...
Joe, we think alike. I have almost the exact same screen. Only diff is I used 1x3's all the way around and blackout cloth. For $60 CAD, I can't complain.
Whether or not the Atlas bottoms out in the conventional sense or not is irrelevent. It reached it's excursion limit and make a distinct bang/pop/ting. (however you want to describe it:D) What else would you call that? I agree that 250 watts may not be enough. I seem to get conflicting...
True enough, I wasn't going by the gain setting though. I calibrated the sub beforehand. Just letting you know where it was set at. I set it hot because I really wanted to see what it could do.:b I got the 350 amp because I'm going to be wiring the subs in series so it should work out to be...
Joe an 8" port is a good idea, especially with a monster like the Av 18, but the length of that port may end up being longer than you might like. For me, swithing to 6" ports, a little more than doubles the length. I have cutouts for 4" right now, but if I can find some 6" pipe, I'll probably...
Joe, I'm just putting the finishing touches on my stage/sub now. Outside dimensions of mine are 8' wide 3' deep and 27.5" high. It's actually 2 subs, so it was movable. Even then, these things are heavy. If you have to go down stairs then moving straps are a must. I placed my 2 Atlas 15's...
Take a look at the "hair trick" vids on this page. http://www.woofervids.com/thumbnails.php?album=77 They are vids of the Avalanche 15's in action. Just think what the 18's would be like.:D
Tim, if money isn't an issue then go for the Avalanche 18's. I've heard nothing but good things about them. I picked up 2 Atlas 15's myself (only got 1 running so far) and they are impressive to say the least. Download this program WinISD Pro Enter the T/S paramaters in it along with...
Steve, the point I'm trying to make is that every topic imaginable (and then some) has already been discussed multiple times on this forum and many others. A quick search will usually bring up answers to even the most complicated of questions. Many experts from various fields are members of...
