Just ran REW for the first time with my new Outlaw LFM- 1 EX. Thanks to everyone for all the helpful tutorials. I'm running the EX in Extension Mode and I have the sub crossed over at 80hz.So I guess the question is how bad is my room? Do I need a Feedback Destroyer or some other sort of...

I'm ready to start construction on my Theater room but have a few questions i need answers on before i can start. The room is 17'x21.5' two of the four walls are poured concrete walls and the other two are sheet rocked. I plan on studding up the concrete walls and sheet rocking them as well...

Hey everyone - I recently bought a new tv, and with that came a new entertainment center which meant my current sub had to be moved. I originally built a sealed sonosub, then went to a ported sonosub - 24" diameter with a 12" Adire Audio Shiva (Not sure which Mark number - its years old)...

Hi All, I have an old Klipsch SW-10 II subwoofer (10" driver, 12" radiator, 150W) that has been great for years, but I think the driver is starting to go and I keep working it too hard by "popping" and bottoming out (over-excursion?)...

I am running a RME Fireface 800 "firewire" interface to my Windows Vista 64 machine. For some reason no matter how I try to configure REW I cannot get a test signal out of it. I have tried all the default settings for Speaker, Sound Driver, Default, etc. but when the I try a check levels there...

Gentlemen, My 8 foot wide 16:9 screen was primed with Kilz and then painted using screen goo digital grey which was given to me by a friend who had an extra quart. Nice guy, huh? He was invaluable in helping me with my setup. Anyway... I followed the directions exactly, except for one...

Currently I have SVS for my front three speakers, an SVS sub and older Cambridge Soundworks bi-pole/di-pole as surrounds and smaller CS speakers for the two center rears. I used these from my last set up so I would have enough money to buy the SVS front three and SVS sub. But now it's time to...

Hello, I've tried modeling the Mal-X 21 all morning now and just don't have the experience with it. I am either building a sealed down-firing 21 or (have been TRYING to model) the same thing but slot ported. If you can help with a slot-port design I would be very appreciative. Maybe you're...

Hi All, I, like many who are here, am new to the home theater realm of sound. Even though I've read through some of the other posts, it seems like everyone's needs are different. I'd like some recommendations on speaker systems. Background info: I just moved to a basement condo like thing...

Ive had these concrete speaker boxes for ages now and im trying to get them going but i have basically no idea how to match speakers with crossovers and tweeters. im using these 8" woofers (90w RMS) with a frequency of 28.14hz, frequency response of 38hz-4.5khz and sensitivity of 89dB...

As my first DIY project I have begun building a sub. After listening to a bit of advice and reading some recommendations on here I have decided to go for a Exodus Audio Tempest-X driver with something like a Behringer EP4000 Amp to power it and a Behringer DCX2496 to split the signal. On...

So I'm upgrading my 5.0 speakers from HTiB. I have a limited budget. I was looking at the Elemental Designs speakers. They have a "package builder" that saves 15% on an order. I've read many good comments on these speakers. Any additional comments from people who have or heard them?? My...

Happy Holidays to all. New kid on the block so I thought I would jump in with a question that has been bothering me for over a month now. My situation: I built a basement home theater over a year ago trying to keep a acoustical/$$ pricepoint reasonable. I had held the best I could to recommended...

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums and just had a quick question. I purchased this TV off craigslist this evening for $100. It is a Hitachi Ultravision 42". The add said it had a convergence issue and that theory is supported by a quick google search but I'm assuming you guys are the masters of...
