Home Audio

Well, First, I was either looking at two of these MLI-65 http://www.mach5audio.com/product_info.php...37171c76d02db5d OR MTX T4508-04 http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=13307 OR Kicker 07C8-4 http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=17406 But here is the thing, I'm not sure how I would power these. Also, how would I give it an audio signal. Then, as for speakers, and power for them and a signal to them, I'm at a complete loss. I would like to keep this as cheap as possible. Help, lol

Anyone here run an active home theater setup? I'm looking at possibly running 4 100 watt bridgeable stereo amps (for mids and highs) and 1 200 watt bridgeable stereo amp (subwoofer) along side an active crossover (behringer or peavey 3way stereo-4 way mono design or something else..?) The end result will probably be a stack of amps hanging in the basement and an infinite baffle subwoofer using the floor as the baffle (I may go ceiling, not sure what will sound better)... I'm not real sure on speakers, I'll be building everything. I'm thinking of making a large "sound bar" center channel with 8 3" woofers and 2 1 1/8" tweeters... I've got some towers from my last passiv…

Hey guys, hope you can help with some info, I'm building a sub for my home theater, using the RL-p15 and a QSC RMX1450, the amp is rated at 1400 watts at 2 ohms bridged. What would be my best option for hook-up to the amp, Dual 2 or 4ohm? Dual 2 ohm- one coil each side, or dual 4ohm to 2ohm bridged? Also this will be a ported enclosure, I can't do the 10 cu ft as stated as optimal, whats a good compromise betwen optimal and minimum sq ft for this set-up? thanks in advance!

Okay, well, with my new house I want to rip out all the existing old coax and install new throughout. Question is, what is the best cable to go with for quality? I will be updating to HD in a year or two, so I want the best I can get.

BUDGET-1000$ WANT 7.1 NEED EVERYTHING BESIDES WIRING SO BASIC SPEAKERS SUB AND RECEIVER i was considering getting the yamaha ns-777 would like to use them as the fronts and also was considering a jvc receiver rxd301s http://av.jvc.com/product.jsp?modelI...athId=5&page=1 yamaha ns777 http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/p...9&CTID=5002900 and this http://cgi.ebay.com/YAMAHA-HOME-THEA...QQcmdZViewItem for every thing else plus a sub which im having trouble deciding also this is for a collage house so it will also be used for a lot of party's so need to be pretty loud and clean... that why i went with a nice sets of fronts... but still want 7.1 souround sound any input…

I plan on going 5.1 with my PS3 and a Martantz 7001. For speakers I wanted to go with a couple SDX7s and a pair of FR125S for my first 4 speakers and maybe use a peerless HDS for the Center speaker. For the sub portion I think I am going to go with a tempest-X and a 500 watt Bash amp. Do you guys think it is a good idea to use a full range to pick up at 800 hz and up since I hear that is there the SDX sweet zone is in the 50hz-800hz region. I'm not to sure how I should go about blending the SDX7 into my setup. Opionions? Ideas?

I'm working on my home theater setup. I'm putting A 110" screen with an epson 8100 projector. I want to build a big sub setup. I'm framing a wall out 2' to hide an old fireplace. I'll have 30" on either side of the screen to work with. One side will have a cabinet with my component stack in it. The other will have the sub. So I'll have aprox. 24" deep, 30" wide, and 95" tall. So about 40 cu ft gross. Originally I was going to run a single 18" or a pair of 15's, and I may still. But now I'm thinking, why not go with a 21"? But I'm not finding many 21's. GoLs are to spend less than $800 total and be great for movies and HDTV. It will be 80% for tv and movies and 20% for mus…

Ok so I'm looking for a receiver to power the ZDT 3.5s. it has to be 4ohm stable and I'd like a remote and prefer 80W/channel at least.

Just looking to run some 6x9s in garage. Buget is about 150 about 50 watts per channel.

What's the website name to get used higher end audio gear from? Thanks m

what do y'all think about this reciever? yay or nay for a first step in my h/t world? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Okay, as the topic says, I'm tired of my RCA HTIB. I'm done for the most part with my car, and would really like to build a nice 2.1 setup. I don't have the money for a 5.1, and rather than getting a mediocre 5.1 I'd rather have a nice 2.1. First off, I need a receiver. I'd like to keep the receiver around $500. Only needs to be a 5.1 with some preamp outputs. Right now, I'm leaning towards and Onkyo. Any other companies you guys suggest? Second: I want to build my speakers. Bookshelves are not out of the question, but I think I might like to try a 3way floor standing speaker. I'll admit, I am new to the HT building so if any of you have a better suggestion let m…

im gonna start a home audio setup for my room and im gonna make my own boxes for it. so far im looking into the emminence alpha 6.5 midranges on p/e. idk where to go from there as to idk which crossover to pick for which tweets. these are gonna be ran off my JVC 5.1 reciever. im gonna be running a separate deal for my sub setup. im looking for a good 12 or 15. im pondering the idea of using my 18 inch ssd. so far im looking at using the dayton 500 rms plate amp off p/e as well. im gonna be using this as a movie and music setup, but mostly music. any recs on box as far as ported or sealed are appreciated. im mostly looking for advice on the crossovers for the speakers.

what is everyone using? i would like to find something that is cheap but still could handle more than just a big screen. my entertainment area includes my 42" TV, yamaha rx-v630 receiver, a little phillips dvd player (nothing special) and a karaoke dvd player (also nothing special, imported from Vietnam), behringer ep1500 pro amp, and cable box. i looked at the Belkin PureAV Home Theater Battery Backup with AVR Technology but to a lot of people using about the same set-up, it would overload easy. the price is good but i was thinking of going with a bunch of smaller pc surge+battery UPS battery backup units. i have a belkin 550 VA UPS and an APC ES 350 VA UPS for my compu…

I am going to put this here since it somewhat relates. What is everyone using? I will be purchasing one soon ... missing some TV shows/sports games on nights that I stay at work late is not going to cut it anymore, and I do not want a VCR. I have not read into them much. I just want something fairly basic with a small-medium sized HD that is capable of 10+ hours at the very minimum.

i have a OZ ME10.2 i'm going to use for my HT sub. i'm wanting to incorporiate (sp?) it into a end table since i don't have one for eather coutch. if i do sub and port both pointing down, how far off the ground should i have it? i will be also going at about 1.25 cubes, what should i tune it to?

so im beginning to start the process of adding a sub to my ht setup. so far i have a Arcam alpha 5 plus CD player, amp, and tuner..first problem i have is hooking the tv up to the reciever. ive tried going from TV out to Video on the reciever. ive tried from the VCR ( cable runs through the VCR) and tried through the DVD player...idk why but everytime i connect to the reciever the speakers start making a quiet buzzing sound. not noticeable during music but when between tracks its clearly heard and its annoying. how do i make it stop? and where would i connect an amp for a sub?

http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=264-821 I was wondering if it would be possible to use the new TB coax and then a large midbass in a tower and power them seperately using the cheap behringer active x-over? I was thinking the Tb coax + dayton rs270 for a 2.1 set up. If this sounds alrite, what all would i need to get this up and running? Two amplifiers, behringer x-over, reciever, pre amp, etc..?

I am looking for a pair of speaker stands for my KEF bookshelf's. I've looked at Parts Express and some mainstream places like Best Buy and I don't like the looks of any stands that I have seen. Preferences: Height - 24"-30". Black. Metal. Anyone have any place to direct me?

I've got a pair of RS225-4's sitting in the shop, begging for a project. I was originally going to put them in the door panels of the truck, but have decided on a different route for that ride, and something totally different for the Tahoe, so I'm stuck with extra parts, and IMO nice ones at that! My budget would love to stay under $50 per tweet. I'll then move on to pestering for crossover info! Large format is perfectly acceptable, and actually preferred. I haven't decided on what type of enclosure this will be, but more than likely, it'll turn out to be ported.

Got all of the pics up from HES this past weekend. Some absolutely insane setups there. The biggest surprise of the show in my eyes were the Silverline Minuets that cost $600 per pair. If I didn't have my Maggies at home I would have bought a pair on the spot. I'm usually not a big fan of bookshelf speakers, but the Minuets were just stunning in every way. Tons of over the top and uber expensive eye candy as well. Finally got to hear the Cabasse La Sphere's in person as well. Nothing like dropping $150,000 on speakers... Oh and Jim, more tube amps than I have ever seen in my life. The Wilson room was pitch black except for the tubes glowing, it was absolutely beautiful…

Been building ths for a couple of weeks now.

So I have the following equipment I'm working with and want to build a new HT sub. Right now I have a Mach 5 MJ18 on a Parts Express 500 watt plate amp. I think it's around 6 cubes tuned to mid to upper 20's, not sure anymore. The box design isn't working with my new arrangement so I want to build something new. Basically I'm looking for opinions on if I should use the MJ18 again or use the pair of Sundown sd1 12's that I have. What would you do in my situation? I need somewhat of a multi purpose setup. It would be used for music, movies and video games but mostly leaning towards music.

not sure this topic belongs here like the title states looking buy a stereo that plays cd mp3s,am fm radio and my ipod.if you guys have ran into some thing simlar feed back would be great
