    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    http://www.diysoundgroup.com/featured-for-mg04a00409/anarchy.html WTF? Seriously? Did they buy the design from Exodus? Yeah Exodus was closing up and I think that someone jumped in and bought them. I THINK From the site... "As we all know from the website, DIY Cable-Exodus is (sadly) closing down. The 6.5" Anarchy woofer that Kevin designed not only works as a woofer or midwoofer, but also as a subwoofer with it's massive 25mm peak-peak xmax. There are quite a few speaker, subwoofer, and tapped horn designs that revolve around the Anarchy and many people were hoping it wouldn't go away. I'm happy to say that Kevin has agreed to let me keep this little beast in production at the same manufacturer, keeping the same specs, using the same materials as before. The Anarchy was originally produced as an 8 Ohm woofer. But there were many requests for a 4 Ohm version that would allow for more speaker design options and be more car audio friendly. The manufacturer agreed to allow for a split order so the DIY Community can have access to both models. This will require a fairly significant number to be purchased, so I've set up a preorder for anyone that would like to help out and be part of this. When these arrive, there will be quite a few new speaker designs and kits made up. Future designs will include 2, 2.5, and 3 way speakers, small sealed and ported subwoofers, and the highly requested tapped horn. Basically, you'll have many designs to work with. If you're not 100% sure if you'll need the 4 ohm or 8 ohm model, you can select 'undecided' so you can pick the correct one for your needs once they become available."

    I ran the vifas pretty low and liked them a lot.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Thanks, bud! Nearly 2 weeks and almost $200 in savings thus far. Admittedly I have spent about $3-350 to kit myself up, but now that I am near the point where my initial investment is done, I expect to spend roughly $30-45 per month on juices and maintenance. That is a strong savings when you compare it to roughly $400 a month. Plus my health... well over 30 years of smoking anywhere from a pack to 4 packs a day is not good for the old body. I think it is a huge win/win. I'm 3 weeks cigarette free now, and it feels pretty good.

    My First ICON Experience

    "I ended up pulling the sub out from the magnet side because I didn't want to damage the foam blocks" Well holy shit we have a genius on our hands. I have tried my damnedest to not mess those up and never thought of opening it that way. I feel dumb haha. Anyway bad ass sub man they are one of my favorite subs.

    Dude, sell your motors and baskets you'll make more money that way. Then buy the new subs.

    Finally settled on this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/digital-dlp-projector/8834829.p?id=1218911495778&skuId=8834829&st=benq projector&cp=1&lp=3#tab=reviews hopefully it is good, it was more than I was looking to spend on a TV but I think that I'll be happier with the projector purchase.Some people are really sensitive to DLP. Have you watched a movie through DLP before? A dlp projector I have not. I have 90 days to return it if it doesn't work out so I'm not worried too much about not liking it. I do hope that it is what I'm looking for though.

    I can't find anything great. I'm still looking for a tv if anyone finds a good deal please post it!Checked amazon, new egg and BB?J Yeah I should have bought the lg that I posted the other day and now they're sold out. I'm looking at projectors now, and I'm thinking that a projector might be a better option.My theater room has been and will be projectors until large displays are affordable. I have controlled lighting and an anamorphic screen so that really adds to the value.I have also shopped smart and have had 80" or greater for 10+ years and 2 complete projector and screen change overs for less than the cost of a really nice 60" plasma. What projectors do you run?Epson is almost always the best value. I haven't looked in 4 years for myself, but Epson is great for the money for sure.I've been looking at epson and benQ?? which I've never heard of but they seem to be a decent player in the budget projector game. Do you have 1080p projectors?

    There is nothing bad AT ALL about under powering a speaker. Think of it this way do you ever turn your volume down? Every time you turn the volume down you reduce the power, I've never heard of anyone blowing a speaker by turning the volume down. The myth comes from people who buy a speaker and think that they have to turn the gain up to 100% to get the amps "full power" but that is not the case. If you crank your amp to 100% you are making the amp clip sending far more power to the sub than the amp is rated at, thus over powering it.

    Well that is rather silly.
