My friend ordered a 15" Dayton Classic Subwoofer and he didn't have any wood to build an enclosure to test it out. So, we figured cardboard would do... Temporarily, of course. He doesn't have a subwoofer amplifier at the moment, so we're using an old receiver and using it as a full-range...
Has anyone heard of any problems with the PS3? I know about the red ring of death from the Xbox 360, and just the other day witnessed the death of a 360 and a game called Oblivion. I just wanted to know if the PS3 had any similar problems that should be taken notice of?
Let me get started with, Florida at the moment has Comcast and Verizon as competing companies. Comcast at the moment is losing employees that are moving over to Verizon. Last week there was a paper going around school about a popular cable company, Comcast, training/employing students at my...
Since school is about to let out, I'm going to replace it with a little DIY subwoofer project. Not going to be anything big, probably just a little 10" sub to decide if I like to build DIY subwoofers. My budget isn't too big, just ~$100-$200, just in case I wire it up wrong or something and send...
Been thinking about my life, and what I want to do as a career. I think I'm going to aim at being a Computer Technician. I currently work for a grocery store that's located in the south-east U.S. called Publix. They offer great benifits (to full-timers) like free stock, health/dental...
This probably wont be done for a while, especially since I have to save up for a car first, but was wondering if this was a nice setup for me. It'll be used almost 100% for music, and is going in a small-ish bedroom. But, I'm the type of person who isn't afraid of turning it up. Subwoofer...
I'm running out of new artists to try out! I need some help deciding which bands I should listen to since my iTunes library is pretty small (about 30-40 songs). My main genre is hard rock but my interests can range anywhere from Rock, classic rock, and some 'softer' metal (Disturbed is the...
By the end of the summer, I will have saved up enough money to buy my first car! Probably going to be a 1998 Dodge Neon I found for $1,295. I have a few questions though. It has 85,000 miles, is that a lot for a '98 Neon? Is a Neon a good choice for a first car? How good is the gas mileage on a...
Before I start this discussion, I am NOT trying to provoke an argument and am NOT trying to bash on Mac in any way. I just have a question, why Mac? I see that most people who switch to Mac, stay with Mac. But, I want to know reasons why. What do Macs do better than a PC does? What were the...
I have cable TV in my bedroom and was wondering if there was a cable box that has A/V, Digital Audio, and VGA outputs; with cable and VGA inputs. I want to be able to have the option to watch TV on my computer and TV, as well as hook it up to my soon-to-have receiver. Does anyone have any...
I've been biking to work since December, and am absolutely sick of the way people are driving. I would say about 50% of drivers on the roads near me deserve to get their licenses taken away. No blinkers, don't look where they're going, going 60 down a 40mph road. Even cutting me off in...
This is where I spend 90% of my free time. It may not be the Projector screen, hifi audio system, $2000 computer that some of the people here have, but I'm proud of what I've done. My Receiver, monitor, and computer. My baby!: :) Hometheaterforum.com/htf: My receiver...
Hey guy's, I'm going to buy a new receiver now. The reason I need to buy a new receiver, is that the old one doesn't sound that good anymore, it overheats easily, and I need a subwoofer output. Yes, my receiver is that old. It doesn't even have a subwoofer output! :eek: And, a good...
My receiver overheats REAL easy. I've been having to put a fan on top of it just to keep it going without muffling like crazy. I just built a computer, and though, "Would a computer fan work in a receiver?" I just would like to be able to put my music on without having to adjust the fan every 5...
The song is called "Clint Eastwood" by "The Gorillaz". Lyrics: Oh oh oh oh oh I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad I got sunshine in a bag I'm useless but Not for long The future is coming on I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad I got sunshine, in a bag I'm useless,but not for long The...
Which do you think makes a better enclosure material? I personally like wood a lot better. It vibrates A LOT less than plastic. I have a pair of Bose bookshelf's (plastic) and a pair of Dual bookshelf's (wood). At higher volumes, the Bose audibly vibrate (I can hear it vibrating). And the...
Is there moldings that can be used to hide speaker wire? I want to run wire to the back of my room but really don't want to see the wires hanging out everywhere. Is there cheap moldings to hide the speaker wire (12-gauge)
The title is pretty much self-explanatory. What's you least favorite songs? Mine are: Korn - (pretty much all of his crap...) Michael Jackson - (see above) Anything hip-hop/rap, country, heavy-metal, bluegrass (my god!), and gospel. What 'bout you guy's?
My brothers have a Macintosh with a Mac OS (Yes, when it opens it says "Mac OS") I was wondering if there was any modems compatible with it. It has a Ethernet port, so and expansion card isn't necessary. The modem I have on the family PC isn't wireless and it's ethernet port isn't working for...
I was thinking of starting a small business at age 15, and when I thought of Home Theater, I thought "Hey, maybe I could make money building speakers!" So, out of my garage, I'd build speakers. It actually shouldn't be too hard, the only hard part being carpentering the box. Here's an example on...
What's your take on violent video games? Do you think they should be banned? Do you think they should stay? (Off of my memory:) Studies show that violent video games cause children to end stories with violent endings. As neutral/nice video games cause children to write neutral, or good...
I'm almost done saving up money for a new computer and was wondering what you guys would think of this: http://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/...Number=5029166 That's THE ABSOLUTE MAX I can spend on a computer. No more. I was wondering what you guys thought about how that looks. I'll be...
Hello, I'd like to start this out by introducing my self. My name is Bobby and I live in "The Sunshine State" Florida. I've always loved Speakers and Computers, but only got around to learning about computers. Now it's time I started to learn about Home Audio. Anyways, I am still fairly new...
