Long time listener, first time caller, so please be gentle. We're in the process of a full home remodel, and I'm working on a dual-use room that will be both a Home Office and a Home Theater. I know this makes it an odd space, but I work full time from home and it's my only option to have a room...

Thanks in advance for any help! First I am a neofiite at best with this equipment. We had a home theater system installed 12 years ago. It consisted of a receiver, DVD player and speakers. Also had a older VHS tape player/recorder hooked to it. Used for audio and DirecTV. The system consisted...

:sn: Hello all. Thought this forum would be good place to seek opinions from DIY experts... Below is list of my Home Theater components. Am wondering which component I should upgrade next??? The obvious answer may be to upgrade to a 4K display, but does anyone here have a different opinion...

Hello all, My name is Garth and I probably know just enough about REW to be dangerous. I’ve spent a good portion of the day generating ~25 frequency sweeps trying to optimize my new subwoofer integration with my main speakers for 2 channel audio. My sub is a Rythmik E15HP so many of the sweeps...

Does anyone have a .dmg for Linein version 2.1 for snow leopard? I've contacted Rogue Amoeba and they do now offer support for old freebies. Thank you.

Hi, I'm new to these forums, and I'm looking for a subwoofer to complete my 2.1 system. I live in a small studio apartment, the main listening room is 13' x 12'. I'll be using a Nuforce Dia desktop DAC (24 watts/channel max) with 2 Cambridge Audio Minx Mini 10's. The Dia allows me to listen to...

Hello, I a couple of days hopefully my new sub will arrive finally. I am looking to build a enclosure for it. It is an Sundown audio e8 v4 sub. The sub will be placed in my room which is quite small and I will use the sub for both music and movies, so I would like it to go pretty low if that is...

So I am working on a DIY sub for my HT that should be exactly what I need in that room. I am also looking at ways to add some bass to my dedicated 2 channel room. My 2 channel room is a loft on the second floor with direct access to the attic. I am thinking IB is my best bet (but if not let...

I'm a longtime lurker on this forum who is finally going to take the plunge into a DIY sub. I have to say that the advice and guidance this community provides is unreal and has been hugely helpful (I've taken a lot of advice here and elsewhere on other aspects of my home theatre too). So thanks...

I've been running some white van loudspeakers (DigitalAudio Cinema Series II) since around 2002. They're rated at 400 watts @ 8ohms, and 90db. I believe the ratings are per-speaker, as it's what is stated on each casing. I am trying to replicate the sound & bass quality I previously achieved...

As many in this forum, I am in search of the best sounding audio I can achieve within financial reason – 80% solution at 20% cost. I have used room absorbers and EQ’ed the room in which I will be the only listener – and am almost there. As this is probably a perpetual process, the advancements...

Here is what I have today: * HT room/area: 20’ x 16’x 7.5’ (L x W x H), 2400 ft^3 I call it ‘room/area’ because while this area is acoustically treated, its left and right ‘walls’ consist of hanging panels made out of 2” OC703. This ‘room’ is located in an otherwise unfinished basement of...

I am always looking to further my knowledge in home theater and automation systems. I looked into THX and ISF certifications. I would love to go for them, but I can't afford them at this time. What would be other alternatives? Thank You!

Hey Everyone! I am in the process of launching off to free lancing in the Home Theater and Home automations. NY is my location. And I am looking for what to do's and what not to do's. Also I need suggestions in figuring out how to price labor and equipment. I believe I have an idea. I have...
