Through a stroke of bad luck that is a little more like good luck, my current DIY subwoofer has taken on some water damage and needs to be rebuilt. This this the bad luck. The good luck is that my insurance adjust wants to know the commercial value of this sub. Meaning, what it would cost to...

Hello forum, I am adding to my theather system since I purchased a new Plasma TV. I'll keep some of my components since I really like them but I really need a moderately priced HDMI A/V receiver to top off my system. I've read most suggestions from most all the experienced people on this site...

Anyone have suggestions on build plans for bookshelves that have very decent SPL for their size? I already have a sub (with more on the way). I'm more interested in SPL than SQ. It would be nice to keep the price around $300 or less per speaker.

I had a Kicker L7...

Hey you woofer freaks, I have a question for you: When Eq'ing your subs, how do you do it? Do you go ahead and Eq way past their abilities, or do you stop at their F3 point (which is often disappointing)? If EQ'ing past their abilities, how so? Do you just nudge them, or push them hard? And...

I downloaded REW, got the CM-140 SPL meter and cables, and was ready to run REW on my notebook when I spotted the note about NOT using the mic-in jack on a notebook. How do I know if the jack on my notebook (a Dell Inspiron 6400) is mic-in or line-in? The description in the Vista Mixer says...

I have a plan, I just don't know if it is a good one. Most of my decisions were based on what I gather from here and other places on the web. A little background: My dedicated basement HT is 14'5"w x 24'8"l x 8'h, there is a riser (2 layers 3/4" ply stuffed with glass) in the back for the...

I have a 45 tube SET amp system with Horns in a dedicated 2 Channel system. I build some custom crossovers for it and my plan is to use REW to see if it looks as good on paper as it sounds. Or can the crossover be tweaked. I currently have Klispch Bass Bins and Tweeters with Altec 1005B horns...
