    Need some advice on Receiver and speakers

    PS3 is still probably the best Blu-Ray player in my opinion. You can surf the web with it, and play movies from sites like HULU.com (free) and the firmware is constantly updated for the BLURAY player and the game console. It has LAN connection and wireless built in plus the bluetooth remote for...

    Receiver + HTiB Speakers

    When I upgraded from my Sony HTiB setup, to my Yamaha receiver, I noticed a huge difference in the volume of special effect and huge separation in the speakers. It actually SOUNDED like surround sound. Then when I finished building my new speakers, I was absolutely blown away. So yeah...

    New HT question

    Well, my receiver has 3 zones and the only thing you need for the other rooms in an infrared signal receiver, sold separately (if your other rooms are not with-in range of the secondary remote). It allows me to listen to music in one room while someone else can enjoy 5.1 audio in the receiver...

    New HT question

    You need a good receiver that has multiple zones. Yamaha has a good multi-zone and even come with a 2nd remote for zone 2 and 3.

    Home theater under 300$

    I have a Sony 5.1 HTiB (Sony HT-DDW900) that isn't even a year old that I'm selling. I was about to put it on eBay. I paid $350 for it, and it's listed as a 900watt package (all at 60hms, 140x5 + 200watt powered sub), has HDMI pass through (2in 1 out) and is in perfect working condition. Here...

    I'm a newbie in need of direction on tuning sub to 20Hz...

    Thanks Robert. So I think I've decided to go the "coffee table" route so I can get the 5.6CF and have enough space for the long ports and plenty of bracing. I have two more questions: 1. Is there any advantage or disadvantage of having the sub down firing opposed to a forward facing setup...

    I'm a newbie in need of direction on tuning sub to 20Hz...

    Thanks a lot Robert. So, if I want to build a 160L box, tuned to 18Hz for my MKIII sub, what would be the ideal port size/length & amount of ports. I have no problem figuring the SF of the enclosure, but not too informed on how much to subtract for port volume and all that. I have 3 sheets of...

    I'm a newbie in need of direction on tuning sub to 20Hz...

    Thanks Robert. I read older posts of yours regarding this topic. What is 160L? 160 liter? How big would my box need to be to be able to house the 15 and two 36" ports? I don't really want the port sticking out of the box, so obviously at least a 36"i.d. long box. Is there an optimum shape...

    I'm a newbie in need of direction on tuning sub to 20Hz...

    Oh, also, is there a certain size that my ports HAVE to be? Can I do two 4" ports or do I need to stick with a single 3" port? I was going to put it in a sealed easy to build box, but after reading some comments on here, it seems I can get a lot more LF bass out of the sub in a well designed...

    Adding Extra Sub/Advice?

    Is the 2nd sub a powered sub??? You probably need to give out a little more info as your current sub is probably hooked up to the LFE/SUBWOOFER output connection on your receiver. I'm sure the experts on here can guide you in the right direction after a little bit more info.

    I'm a newbie in need of direction on tuning sub to 20Hz...

    Where can I find information on this site to help me build my powered sub enclosure? I'm not only a newbie to this site but also a DIY newbie, tossing out my Sony Home Theater IN-A-BOX for a quality Yamaha receiver, and built myself a set of Hivi tower speakers (1.5" thick, dual 5" mids, 1...
