    Small sealed sub using Parts Express drivers

    I bought an infinity 12" car sub (120se?)for 120 bucks, built the 1 cubic foot sealed box infinity specified and power it with a Parts Express 250 watt plate Amp for $125 and it's quite nice. It may not be extremely efficient but who cares. With 272 watts it cranks when the action dictates...

    Advice on this 5.1 Speaker setup?

    Brian, I don't know if your cost concious but another option might be Axiom Audio M3Ti's. It's a bookshelf speaker with a very nice sound for the money (300 pair shipping included). Match this with their vp150 center for $240 and for $840 total, your set. If you want to return them (but I...

    is it normal not to hear it?

    Did you try listening from different positions in your room? You might be listening from a null position for that specific frequency. Anyhow: Sounds like your system is pretty darn good....enjoy it and don't get too caught up trying to demo the unrealistic condition of a pure 17hz tone...

    HTD owners please help me choose Level 3 or 4..also Axiom 22 owners help me here

    I have M40's and M3ti's. HT is really cool but music is what I really like. At the time money and space was tight and I had no sub and the m40's offered better bass extention. I really LOVE these Axiom speakers but there is SOOO much praise about the M22's I think might have done better with 4...

    Paradigm with sub or Axiom without?

    Buy from Axioms blemished stock at a 10% discount. Shipping was free. If your unhappy just pay the freight to send them back....but you won't be! Here's what I would do: If they can fit, M22's for the front right and left @$360 or M3's @ $250 and M2's for the rear @ $225. I hear the M22's...

    Whats the difference between a car sub and a home theater sub??

    I put an Infinity 120.3SE 12" car sub in a home made 3/4" MDF SEALED 1 cubic foot enclosure (per Infinity's specs) and found it to be quite impressive when hooked up to a 250w (272w into 4ohms)amp from parts express. The f response of the speaker is pretty flat down to 18hz but that was rated in...

    Axiom speakers

    Shawn, I have M40's and M3's and love them both. M22's got great reviews by the guys at Audioholics. Check it out. My last post was longer but got deleted because I put in the address for Audioholics. Search for it with google. If your amp has 5.1 or 6.1 analog speaker inputs invest in a...

    563a v. sony 725

    Although I've read March Perfecr Vision magazine's review and it did not give the 563 great ratings for CD playback they were not bad. I'm buying it because it's DVDA and SACD ratings were good. They also were surprised that the quality level of the video was as good as it was ....for this price...

    I'm not happy with my speakers.. Please help!

    I've got Axiom M40's and M3's. Sweet! I can't be happier. M20's are supposed to be even better than the M3's. 400 for a pair. Find the right crossover point on your sub and you'll be amazed. John

    Axiom or Cambridge???

    Tom, I can't speak about the sound quality of Cambridge Speakers because I have never heard them. I'm a middle aged guy with a wife and three kids 12,15, and 18 so my hi-fi budget was/is tight. My system is comprised of Axiom M40's and M3's and love them both. The M3's are clean, detailed...
