So, if the SVS driver is 4 ohms and my small amp is 8ohm 100 watts max out, am I inadequately powering the driver? Therefore, it won't move? edit: upon further review and investigation I think this svs driver may be blown ... :( I'm going to try the 9v battery trick, but also read is you...
Robert, Thanks for your reply. Here's what I'm currently working with. My current 12" enclosure was a passive Optimus enclosure. I harvested an amp from a powered 10" Optimus subwoofer. The 12" driver has a nominal 8ohm input, 100 watts rms, 200 watts max out. The amp that I took from...
Hey all so I now know that it's a dual voice coil driver. I spliced a bridge wire, but no dice. If don't hear back from you guys this week, I'll bring the driver into an a/v shop to see if it's any good.
Hey All // Been a long time, hope everybody is doing well. This weekend I had the opportunity to buy a 12" SVS driver at an estate sale. It's just the driver itself, no enclosure, amp etc ... He had purchased it at an a/v shop here in Mpls. to replace a blown driver of his own. He...
Hey brendy thanks for the Link and reply. I guess it's not in my head after all, but due to the engineers themselves when it comes to tracking vox channels. Anyway, I guess I need to update my center speaker! LOL
Sup All :: Quick question regarding my Onkyo 601 Receiver. I've had it for about two years now and absolutely loved every minute of using it. Something I've always wondered but never knew much about is, when I start a movie in Dolby Digital EX 5.1/6.1 or DTS. "Dialogue Normal - or + 4"...
most agreed :: my parents got divorced 3 years ago this fall, anyway it wasn't a death in the family however it felt like one. And close church members and family friends would make my dad food, and run errands and stop by just to say hi. You wouldn't think that everyday "busy" work and...

Just finishing college I've had my fair share of apartments. I really like to shake the walls when it comes to movies, and music :) But it really comes down to your neighbors and apartment itself. My last apartment it was alright to listen and watch movies at a reasonable (loud) comfortable...
I once saw in best buy a two speaker system that was 5.1 - I forget the total science of how it worked, but the angle of the drivers, or direction of the soundwaves. etc.. something like that made it feel that it was true 5.1 with sound from the rear. It was "fairly" accurate, but I'll stick to...
Wash your car in the SHADE or OUT of the sun. When you dry your car after washing it, the sun is killer for drying and creating water marks. I also wash my car twice when I was it. I start with one half, rinse, finish the second half, and while it's still soaking, do a nother quick re-wash over...

Jeremy, I had the same dilemma and question you did. I have a 12" Optimus (yes i said Optimus :) it's been a damn good subwoofer) down-firing subwoofer. Like yourself I had real high shag carpeting in my apartment. Placing a piece of wood underneath won't give you "more" bass, but what it did...
Forgive me for not getting off my butt and researching it myself :) But would anybody know if Dave has any of his concerts in DTS ? I know that he has a couple on DVD, but are they in DTS ? -Michael
Ken I did the exact same comparison about a year ago before purchasing my Onkyo 601 :) I've enjoyed every SECOND of this reciever and have not looked back. Crutchfield had a sale, and circuit city honored the printed price :) Good Luck!
Bose isn't a good speaker/sound company Bose is an Incredible Advertisement Company, hehe;) You've got to give BOSE some credit where it's deserved though. Being a Graphic Designer it's amazing to see and hear EVERYONE's opinion (who isn't informed, or educated) on Bose. Bose totally has...

Cees, Thanks for the reply. SO it only has to do with wave lengths and the delay of which the sound hits your ear? It as nothing to do with dbl. levels ??

Hey Jim, Well earlier this afternoon I read the thread about paying the extra cash and going to an authorized dealer and getting a receiver WITH a warranty. So I called GoBuys.com up this afternoon and thankfully it hasn't shipped yet. Which I was surprised since they promise to ship within...
