In my present system I am using the same front/mains for 5.1 and 2 channel listening with 2 different amps. I recently came across speaker selector boxes (they look good and appear to be easy to use). Do these work regarding resistance to signal, and if so can anyone recommend what and where to...

The main motivation for changing things up our living room was to help create more evenly distributed bass response. My previous build was a 3 cu ft slot ported enclosure using a Dayton 390HO 15" sub, later changed to a TC Sounds LMS-R 15". I thought when I upgraded to the TC Sounds sub that the...

My GIK panels/traps arrive this morning while I was having some outpatient surgery done. I will be putting them up this weekend and will take some photos of how they look on the walls. I got them all in the coffee color.

I currently have a 18" Maelstrom dual PR build tuned to 21 Hz with 6.4 ft^3 net. The output is fine, but is not well-distributed around the room. My preference would be two enclosures that would go into my built in cabinets in front right and left of room. Two subwoofers would better distribute...
