    I have a 18" diameter sonosube cut to 32" height... I have a router but am missing the black plate that screws onto the bottom. I also need a circle jig (i think that screws on?). I see.. the blueprint 1201 does look like it would fit me better. I don't really mind spending the extra $...

    I was looking at the Blueprint 1201 that Frank linked to but it says $92. Isn't the Shiva a better price:performance deal? :)

    Does Home Depot sell 12awg speaker wire by the foot? I can't remember seeing it but they probably do. I thought the grill was for the port... I guess if you put it over the port it would make port noise :) Do I have to use braces between the top and bottom end caps like some recommend, or...

    I checked the PE 250 amp details and it mentions High pass filter for satellite speakers!

    Nice info there, Rob. I was wondering what that line level output was... I'm not very familiar with high-pass crossover stuff... but picking up on it. I think I would keep the ProMedia sub either way, but turn down the sub volume if needed. :emoji_thumbsup: So, for this wiring... I am trying...

    I found something cool at PE. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshow...=300-739&DID=7 It's basically a kit with the box already made. 10" titanic Looks like a reasonable price but I don't know how it compares to a 12" shiva? Should I get gold plated stereo1/8" to RCA splitters...

    Beginner advice

    I'm afraid that opening the sub will void warranty, and these things are likely to blow out (if you do a little research). I think I could just leave it disconnected or lower the volume of it. By the way, the ProMedia 5.1 sub/amp is supposed to be better than the 4.1 set. --- I'm...

    cool! I just had a brilliant idea... I can get 1/8 mini-> male RCA splitter, 2 of them... then just link the Center with an RCA "coupler"... should be the simplest solution, right? :D Is there any static noise caused by this in subwoofer application? :b I still am really new to...

    Jonathan, Can I still use the sub in the ProMedia? The picture of the back of the sub is here: http://www.3dsoundsurge.com/reviews/...51sub_rear.jpg I'm guessing the new sub amp has RCA out as well. So, then I would need 1/8" stereo male -> male/female RCA from source, male RCA going to...

    Thanks for the input! :) I'm looking for rumble in movies but clean bass for music, if this helps you decide what is best for me. I believe the promedia sub farts at loud volumes, hehe, so maybe I can relieve it with a new sub helping. Punchy bass sounds good to me, but I also want...

    Hi, this is my first post and I'm a newbie to HT stuff. :) For a little introduction, I'm 18 years old and just recently became interested in "nice" speakers... Since I'm not so rich, I purchased a set of Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 speakers (for $358)... --- What I want to do is build a...
