    Cerwin Vega! FE12" 300 watts, need receiver suggestions.

    See......that's more realistic.....rather than the broad statement that people like to say here that numbers mean NOTHING. They do have some relevance. EDIT, btw......nice that you can go back and change your response to say that the numbers are FLUFFED!....instead of the original " NUMBERS...

    Now.....the next thread or 2 EXPLAINED it......as a GENERAL rule. Not as I seem to see alot.....people saying the number mean NOTHING. They do have some relevance for the basic to midlevel people, maybe not to the top level people. Like I said the reciever states 100w per channel.....I...

    Cerwin Vega! FE12" 300 watts, need receiver suggestions.

    If all these numbers mean nothing as yall keep saying, then whats the use of them? Seems like everytime some asks about it, the same response is don't use the numbers.... The avr states 100 watts per channel, so according to what yall say.....I could use a 2 watt speaker? Numbers mean nothing...

    Downfiring sub box......

    Anybody wanna see a pic? I got 2 coats of stain and just put the 1st coat of poly.

    Downfiring sub box......

    Gonna get a router and order that Jasper jig, I have seen that jig on PE and liked it compared to other stuff I have seen. As for lining the inside of the box......I have seen the egg crate looking foam used, would carpet padding do the same or similar? I have a roll of new carpet pad and it...

    Lucky!

    John Corbett was the lead character in a series on TNT called Lucky. Anybody know if it ever was on DVD? It ran for three seasons I think a few years back. It was about him as a poker player guy and his goofball buddies.

    Building sub box..........

    Question about the gain...... Am I right in that the gain doesn't alter the wattage, it has to do with matching the input signal? correct? Using the subwoofer out on my reciever, into the left input on the sub amp....any suggestions on setting the gain. As it is now I have it set about 60-70%...
