First one was for a friend I met on another forum that lived close by, small world !! Super nice guy that wanted a sub built. We worked out a trade for building his sub. Hats off to Bill this is a awesome design, seems to have unlimited output in room, unless you want to break things!!

So the big issue that I am having is: Powers on Bulb comes on, tv works for about 30 seconds picture goes out but sound keeps working tv shuts off and flashes the 3 lights in the front Turning it back on does the same thing but even faster. I tried replacing the lamp and that did not fix the...

Putting together a separate low/mid-priced HT set-up so I’ll be switching out some of the gear in my current main HT system and buying some new replacement stuff. I plan to pull the 7.2 channel NAD AVR and Oppo BDP 93 out of my primary system and have a new Marantz 8801 processor and Oppo BDP...

hi i was wondering if i could get any advice my home cinema system keeps shutting down after a couple of minutes thanks

I want to buy a 65 or 70-inch display for a large room. I really would like to get a 4k display, though I’m just not sure it is worth it to invest in this technology right now for the price. I feel like it might be something worth having in the next 2-3 years as content becomes available and...

If I get a curved screen what are the pros and cons? Do I need a different projector setup? I have a benq 1070 and will be projecting on either a 135 16:9 or a 150 16:9, my other question is who besides innovative screens make a black screen? The problem I'm having is i dont see the black...

I built dual 18" fi audio sonosubs a couple years ago and they have always seemed weak (seems like they put out a little less than my 4 cs ultras). I've been running them off of a ep2500 in "stereo mode" which gives them each 1200w @ 2ohm and I have the input linked for both channels. DO THEY...

Hi A little off topic but i hope this is ok. Im a huge top fuel fan and just love the incredible sound of these crazy machines. I thought it would be interesting to get a read on just how loud these things are so i took my SPL meter to a track day to find out. I didnt really get my answer...

Browsing around the net, I started thinking about how I could make my future diy sub project unique and fit in better with our mod/eclectic decor. I started thinking it would be cool to make the sub resemble a vintage guitar amp which led me to this page...

At the heart of my two-channel setup (separate from my 5.1 surround system) is a solidly-built, aluminum-faceplated, 100 watt-per-channel Onkyo TX-8555 stereo receiver. This unit has no "TAPE 2" loop/jacks, so it seems that hooking up an external graphic equalizer would be out of the...

So I am soon going to be building my first DIY subs and had a couple questions... I plan to basically make some interchangeable sonotube endcaps so I can do several different types of subs using common end-caps which I will clamp onto different lengths of sonotube to allow me to figure out what...

My house was built back in 2008, but I am just getting to finishing the theater room now. I have two rows of seating and wanted to build a riser for the back row. I've done a fair bit of reading but I haven't found an answer to a couple of questions I have. As this site seem to have the best...

Hey fellas. Yup, another newbie post about “what should I do?” Hopefully yous guys can help me. I am embarking on my first HT DIY sub enclosure. I have built many car audio enclosures in my past life. Even fiberglass enclosures, but I have always been handed the specs for enclosure size...

I have been recently getting back into car audio and building ported boxes so I'm firmiliar with that and WinISD. I understand that for home you want a much larger enclosure with lower tuning. I have some junk(compared to you guys) laying around and some extra mdf. I have a powered sealed...

I've got a MFW-15 in smallish room (2000 cf), and I have a couple questions about placement. First, my room is closed off on 3 sides, but the right wall (if your facing the screen) has an opening to another room. If I place my sub directly across from that opening, will I "leak" some bass...

Bought a couple of small things for my movie room.A sign above my room,and the CLOSED sign for my rope.Next is my riser for my seats.
