Hi all, I had an old JBL Synthesis S400 Stereo Subwoofer Amplifier (2 x 200W @ 4 Ohms) lying around and I’ve been experimenting with 2 Mordaunt Short 309i active Subwoofers (175W @ 4 Ohms) that I picked up cheap as they had blown amps so I’m using them as passive by just feeding the drivers...

Hi, Back in 2014, I bought an LG BH9430PW 1460W 3D Blu-ray Theater System when it was first released. It is a powerful home theater system but had a lot of issues with its amplifier and rear speakers controller. Now I'm left with working speakers and I was wondering if I can buy a good and...

I am having so much trouble figuring this out. I just bought a house with prewired speakers in distinct areas. The upstairs is controlled with a standard 5 speaker audio plate and was easy to wire.

I’ve read a little about DTS:X, and in particular, its ability to increase the volume of the dialog without increasing the volume of the rest of the soundtrack. My question is, would DTS:X be able to do this (or any of its other special features) with an older dvd? That is, would there be any...

Hi, I'm new here and new to the whole HT experience too, so forgive me if this sounds a little stupid. I bought a house with an ancient sharp projector in the ceiling, probably 3 times the size of modern ones. It's already installed in the ceiling and its only cable (component) runs through...

Currently working on implementing a subwoofer into my current stereo setup as I want more bass for watching movies with. Currently I have a NAD C355 amp paired with EB Acoustics EB1 speakers. I have a subwoofer that was previously in my old car a JL Audio 8w3v2-D2 and I am planning to power it...

Hello, I'm trying to make the best of an existing family room for home theatre (but also multipurpose) use. Major reno would be nice but not in the cards at this time. The original custom cabinetry was built into a wall which divides a long basement. The top half is shelving backed with...

Hi folks, I'm in desperate need of some expert advice for my to be 2.1 Music/HT setup. Maybe first some background: I'm a 32 yr old bloke from Belgium (you know, that tiny country known for it's waffles, beer and "french" fries) with quite some (outdated?) experience in car audio. For some...

Hi All, Have been busy with our current room for a couple of years now but keep bumping into some issues which I don't know how to (if even possible) solve; At the listening spot there are some major dips/nulls in bass response. Below graphs are the result of just the main speakers, no subs...

Have a question to see if anyone on here can help. I have a pair of Swan Diva 6.1 speakers that I’ve had for about 8-10 years. After some years of abuse by my kids, a couple of the HiVi 8” woofers have dings and some of the rubber surrounding is coming loose on speaker. I thought it would be an...

I just looked at the YouTube's on DIY automated screen masking: I would like to know if anyone has done anything similar that they can share? I'm looking at working on DIY acoustic room treatment project and will be initially focusing on the front wall for the biggest improvement and this...

So I'm still kicking around the idea of tearing down my entire ceiling to do soundproofing but there are obstacles in other areas of the basement that are making me think I will not benefit from doing so. My dilema, I have added a new gaming section which was once walled off, but since all my...
