But you dont think i have a point? Why is DD making earbuds? Maybe you could contribute to this rather than being a troll

The way i have done it is like this... Computer sound card 3.5mm into 2 6.5 plugs (had to make this but you can buy a 3.5mm into 2 RCA and then some RCA into 6.5mm adapters) this runs into the SM M-Patch 2. From this i run output into my monitors which are Behringer B2031A (about $300 US) the second output runs into the sub which is a 15 DIY made with 25mm MDF running from a 350 RMS plate amplifer and a cheap Driver sold here in Australia. The results are great, clean sound with tons of bottom end. You can use a reciever and do it that way but for $300 US i think the active monitor is a better option Considering his budget i would leave the sub atm and just get the Monitors which he can run straight from his PC soundcard... Then in the future he can add the sub, trust me when i say the bass response from the ehringer B2031A is quiet good, not great but good enough for most music types and a hell of a lot bettter than passive speakers of similar size due to the 8.75 inch driver and active 150 watt amplifier for the woofer Just my 2 cents

I think the real question is why are DD making earbuds???? Not really logical going from Car Audio subwoofers to ear buds is it

And neither is it worth it in the home environment The reason cinema's are active because it allows more EQ and level options from the Processor and building crossovers to take 500 watts or more a chennel is very expensive, even then most cinema's bellow 200 seats will have passive systems anyway As for the crossover look into the Behringer range http://www.behringer.com.au/CX2310/index.cfm?lang=ENG

And never forget that...

There is no point in active surrounds, even in Cinemas no matter the quality or size the surrounds are always passive As for the front three speakers that is not to hard, you need a surround processor with pre out for all you channels. I would run one A500 for the surrounds one channel for left and one for right then one A500 for each front speaker meaning a total of 4 amplifiers for the 5.1 setup (excluding the subwoofer) On the front speakers each has its own A500 with one channel for HF and one for LF, between your preamplifier and the each A500 you will need an active stereo crossover which you can get for about $100. So in total you need 4 A500 and 3 active crossovers Mind you for HT its not worth it... You would be better off buying a really good AV amplifier and/or better speakers As for the Behringer A500 being over rated it probably is but please remember it is a 200 watt power amplifier with a street price of $200, if you can afford better amplifers go for it I spent yesterday setting up a new cinema where I work and it was passive simply because it was only 40 seats :clap:

My IXL 10 is turning up next week :clap: Im looking forward to listening and posting my impressions The best part is its for my GirlFriends car but i have a feeling i might be taking it back :bigclap: I havent looked at box design just yet but i will be sure to post a build log and a detailed Review Just one question... How does it like 1000 watts?

Hey guys and girls Been a lurker here for quite a while so i decided to join up so i can participate in this great forum.

Hello all the way from Australia

Looking for a nice 10 inch driver for a friends car and came across the Icon series so i kinda moved into the forum looking for more information... BTW you really need an Australian distributer, even Mach 5 has one now, im hoping in the future we will see ED and ICON drivers in Australia at reasonable prices becasue international shipping is such as huge cost
