    Need to power 7 speakers with one unit

    This is for a store. My first setup was a used yamaha 7.1 ($100) channel receiver that was running 7 channel stereo mode. It lasted for 3 years 10+ hours a day. Ran 7 bookshelf speakers. Its audio source is pandora from a computer. I was thinking pro audio but not sure what way to turn. Does...

    What some people throw away

    I just was walking by the dumpster behing my building and saw a box that piqued my interest. I opened it up and found a pair of rock solid monitors. I had never heard of them, so i brought them in and hooked one to my old pioneer elite vsx26tx and left the other channel alone with the SP-BS21( a...

    75 Ohm FM antenna

    I see your point on the separate wires thanks for clarification. As far as FM elements go, I have no idea. Whats the difference? I was under the impression that if you had twin lead wire you could just make your own. I was going to purchase something like this from radio shack...

    75 Ohm FM antenna

    I know there is probably a simple answer to this question but I can not figure it out for the life of me. I have a pioneer vsx26 receiver. The FM antenna input is 75 OHM with 2 separate holes for wire. I would guess that I would use a FM Dipole Antenna from parts express or ladder wire but...

    Replacement universal remote for receiver

    I have a pioneer VSX26-TX and I need a remote. Pioneer wants tons of money for the remote model #axd7212 and I might as well buy a new receiver considering its age. Im wondering if I can use any type of universal remote that will enable me get through the menus etc of the receiver.

    Options for powering 6 speakers

    So the shop is 15x40 long and narrow. Then theres another room thats 15x15. I was thinking 4 in the 15x40 room and 2 in the other room. I found an onkyo tx-sr800 for $150 and was considering using that to power. Its old but was thx certified and had great reviews. Its going to be running 10...

    Options for powering 6 speakers

    Thanks for the responses guy. The space is long and narrow but i dont have any dimensions yet. That acs idea doesnt sound bad and neither does a dedicated amp. As far as volume, id say that you would still want to be able to have a convo at normal levels. This is a clothing shop so i assume that...

    Options for powering 6 speakers

    My buddy is opening a store and as usual, funds are tight. He has 6 kicker KB6000 full range speakers that he wants to use. I am trying to figure the best way to run them. I considered getting rid of 2 and just using a stereo receiver to run all 4. The source will be an ipod or an input from a...

I plan on rebuilding the box for 2 wired in parallel. I was thinking maybe a sonotube with a sub...
