    I currently have a 12 cubic foot vented enclosure and now I am switching to two 4.5 cubic foot vented end table subs on each side of the couch. While modeling in Winisd, I am showing the same output and response curve (within one db)if I add an 8db boost at 20hz to the smaller box. I tweaked...
  4. AV Home Theater
    I'm rebuilding my basement theater. It's irregularly shaped, as shown in the attached drawing. The screen wall (on the left of the drawing) is 14' 1" wide. The main part of the room is 15' 9"' deep, but halfway across it goes back another 6' 3" into a recessed area. My wire-frame equipment...
  5. IB - Infinite Baffle Subwoofer Build Projects
    Hello, I am brand new to this and have been trying to learn about speaker building. This may seem like a dumb question, but the answer will help me understand more than I knew before :smile: Would it be possible to not have an extra room, but just have a cylinder from each woofer go out through...
  6. Electronic Processing/Equalization Devices
    I have always wondered why all (at least the ones I have played with Audyssey, MCCAC YPAO) the auto calibration software seems to only run a single pass per channel? Yes I know some of them will allow you to adjust the position of the mic and run multiple passes but that is not what I am...
  7. Home Audio Speakers
    I have a pair of PSB Image S50 surround speakers. I believe they are either called Bipole or Dipole. I was checking the speakers out today and noticed something unusual about the bass reflex ports. There are 2 on each speaker, under the drivers. On every other speaker I've seen, the port enters...

    Hi Friends! I have a question regarding Wayne's article: "House curve: What it is, why you need it, how to do it!" If I understood the idea behind it, there is a difference between the "perceived flat response as opposed to measured flat response." So if I choose some house curve and I need...

    Hi: I inherited an older Denon 2807 receiver, sans remote. Denon's website shows an RC1030 as the remote sold with it. To get an inexpensive remote for it, do I buy a remote that's compatible with the Denon RC1030, or a remote compatible with the receiver? Or either? Don't want to spend much on...
  10. Two Channel Audio
    Is an HT receiver good for 2-channel music? Does all the riggamaroll for HT mess it up for using it as a good receiver? My Adcom system is dying on me..after 30 years of faithful service. I have a 2011 Denon HT Receiver that saw little use..I think it is the 1911..would it be good for 2-channel...

    I hope this is the correct place, I've been doing some reading here and planning of a small system in a "family room" we have which is actually just bare concrete floors and walls as of now. My question is I would like DIY as much of this as possible and I have a set of vintage Bang & Olufsen...

    How loud are the fans in these things? Loud enough to hear 10 feet away in a very quiet room? (35db noise floor)

    Hi Everyone, I'm working my way through the steps to use REW, and I've run into something that I don't understand. Here's a summary of where I'm at: 1) I have a Creative Labs "Blaster X-fi" external sound card. This card has separate right and left channels for line out. It has a single...

    I built two Maelstrom subs with dual passive radiators in 9 cubic foot boxes and I purchased two Velodyne SMS-1 active crossovers for these subs. The instruction manual recommends setting the crossovers at 80 Hz because it is "the THX standard". My main speakers are rated to achieve 32 Hz. I...

    Hello. When I export a 1/3 octave Spectrum measurement I've taken, and export the graph as a .txt file, I get thousands of data points, rather than the 1/3 octave frequency centers I've chosen for the graph display. Is there a way to export the data but just have the file show the levels at the...
  20. Home Audio Speakers
    Hello, I have a quick question. I just set up my home theater which I have had put in storage for a while. I could not find my 10 gauge wire's for my mains and center so I used 16 gauge instead. I can't believe that my speakers sound so much better using 16g instead of 10g. It has me baffled...
