    Best bet is Craigslist. Not sure why you think that Sony is "old". It is still HDMI 1.3. There are three on Amazon for $140, so you are gifting it at $100...if you can sell it local. Anyway your pricing is almost too low. If you price too low,. people will think something is wrong with it.

    By the way, AudioHolics like the Outlaw EX.

    I'd like to know how Outlaw configured a 12" subwoofer, that size, with a 16hz(or is it EQ'd?) extension with a port. Sealed completely I could believe it. But again, I'm not the subwoofer genius. That stuff I linked, you could build in your living room in 25 minutes, Don't like the carpet...

    Heck, there is this as well... http://www.amazon.com/Rockville-RGS15-Single-Subwoofer-Enclosure/dp/B00DFVJZCU/ref=sr_1_21?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1378866279&sr=1-21&keywords=15%22+subwoofer+enclosure...

    Yeah, he's not getting a 16hz port at $600. Twice that, sure. Or he could build one...

    I think you are reading what plugging the port(s) does wrong.Sealed subs play lower, ported play louder to the "port tune" then are dead under the ported tune. In other words, say a sub has a 28hz port. If you plug it, it plays down to 22hz at 105db.If you unplug the port it will play to 108db...

    The power is only 5% of the story. The pathetic 35hz yours attains is 90% of the issue.

    Planning...exactly. Building things from wood is utterly simple...once you... 1. Buy the appropriate tools (not as much as you'd think, my entire lot of powertools is $2500) 2. Measure, measure, measure...and measure again. 3. Take the time, never rush. I spent $350 on a 12" 10-amp compound...

    I've seen the rotary many times. I've also seen, in person, the "sound experiment" of the "semi-trailer subwoofer"...(for one of the armed forces). 6 10" woofers vs 18" still comes down to overall mass for accuracy purposes. And 6 10" is greater than one 18". The idea of multiple woofers...

    I chose 6" on purpose. There are numerous IB subs out there with 8" and 10". And I bet Robert could build a better sub, for less money, with two 15" drivers than the Sub 2. I forget who it is, but there is a ridiculously expensive 18" woofer out there...and counting the cone/surround material...

    The only real contention I have with Hsu's comment over "better imaging"... He seems to act like woofer manufacture is stuck in the dark ages. The move to "multiple 5-6 inch drivers" has been predicated by slimmer towers. Nothing more. Anyone who begs to say "multiple 6 inch drivers is more...

    And... "Also, i was reading that invterview with Dr. Hsu and he said that if he were to build a system from scratch, he wouldnt get floor standing speakers, with a good sub, he would go with mini monitors. Says that with a good sub, there is no need for the bass of a floorstanding speaker and...

    Don't know where you've been reading there is a difference between down-firing or front-firing(or even the "odd" side firing... :rolleyes: ) But there is absolutely no difference...at all. Pure cosmetics. Back when Cerwin Vega had their gorgeous spun aluminum driver, I laughed at people who...
