Hello all, I am really interested in diving into a DIY Subwoofer. I think this is very exciting and engaging. Much more so than going to a Audio/Video store and purchasing one. The room that I am looking to place the subwoofer is not a typical square or retangular room so looking for advice on...

Ok so I'm new to the home theater world. I want to set up my two subs by building end tables to house the subwoofers. I have a Klipsch 10" down firing sub and a Polk Audio front facing 10" sub. My plan is to basicly build a box that will be completely open on the back side and have a material...

I'm new to this hobby and as a result - even though I've spent a few days reading on topic, some things are still not quite "clear" to me. Lets look at the following setup. Low budget build. 50%HT 50% music. Dayton Audio SD315A-88 12" driver and Yung SD200-6 200W Class D Subwoofer Amp Module...

Hello, I am wanting to build a subwoofer, but I'm overwhelmed by all of the choices. I'm not afraid of the construction, but choosing the components and even more the design really has me baffled. I may have made a mistake, but I have already purchased a Oaudio 500 amp, which I guess I can try...

Hello, I've been reading through countless threads on this site and many others and have come up with so many ideas that I think I've really confused myself. I have 3 receivers in mind, all seem to be fairly popular choices: 1. Yamaha RX-V567BL 2. Denon AVR-1611 3. Pioneer VSX-1020-K I'm open...

Id like to start creating a digital lossless music library. Can flac files (or any lossless music files) be found for free download? Eventually Ill be playing these files with the laptop or the htpc using the Fiio E7/E9 dac/amp combo and the Sennheiser HD650 cans, but I need the best sources...

Hey guys, I've never built or really owned a home theater system so I want to start out very small just to get the feel for it. I have a rl-p sub I took out of my out car I can use in the future, for now lets just worry about the speakers, and I can worry about the sub after. Really what I...
