Hi from Newcastle, Australia

Hi there folks,

I've finally bitten the bullet and downloaded RoomEQ Wizzard. I must say I'm blown away by how well it performs and how well it's supported on these pages.

I currently have a DIY ported system (4 * 10 inch drivers / 350w) which performs impressively when it's running flat out. I'm hoping to move to an IB using local drivers which would let me have this performance with some headroom to spare.

REW has already let me see that my first choice of location for the IB would be adversely affected by room nodes - big hole 40 - 60 hz, 24db deep!

I've been posting for a couple of years at diyAudio and more recently at AVSForum and HTGuide with the same handle - "Collo"

My claim to fame is developing flared port software and a sonosub calculator which has been discussed on those forums and is available from my website.
Just google for "sonosub.exe" or "flared ports" and you'll find me.

Anyway, I look forward to becoming part of the IB community and sharing my experience here

regards
Bill "Collo" Collison

A couple of things Collo...

I upgraded your account so you may post links now... we know you are not a spammer. That is an excellent program and something I believe members here can benefit from greatly... thanks...

I did a search on Google for sonosub.exe and it was ironic that the Shack was third on the list, just ahead of your site.

You might be interested in this thread and I think your site would be an excellent idea for this.

Thanks for those kind words folks. It's also most encouraging to have my site suggested as a candidate for the hosing competition. Whilst a larger space and bandwidth would be nice, I think that it should go to someone who can devote enough energy to running a properly supported blog.

I went to post some graphs in the REW forum, but I wasn't allowed, so the bump in rights might not have gone through. I'll jump over there now and do a text only post. See y'all on the other side.....

Well I've had a chance to try out REW for a few days and all I can say is WOW!

I've got a few postings now in the Diy Subwoofers forum
