Home Audio

I just wanted to post up and see if anyone here is running a projector for HT. I just upgraded to 4k resolution in my theater and love it. I went with the JVC RS4810 and the image is completely mind blowing. Plenty bright on my Carada 126" screen. I've been in H/T for yrs, so I figure I would share my build. My room 14x20, ran on 6 dedicated 20 amp circuits, CAT 6 cable ran to support my 1gb fiber connection. I can stream FLAC files, movies, etc. Speakers I run Polk Audio RTi12s, RTi3s, FXi5s, FXi3s, powered by a D-Sonic Magnum 1000S and Sunfire TGA5400. Subwoofers are dual SVS pb12/plus 2 subs controlled by the Velodyne SMS-1 sub EQ. I'm using the Pioneer SC07 as a pre w…

Ive been thinking about building a box for the home theater. my tv is about 48" wide, and at the back, its about 40" wide, but it is only about 16" deep, so theres lots of room behind it in the corner and I was going to build a triangular box to fill the empty space. I already have a old RF stage 1 12. I see the Fs and VAS specs used alot for HT and this subs Fs isnt too high at 27 and the suspension must be somewhat loose at 80L equivalence, not real high, but better than most subs Ive come across. rest of the specs can be found here. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/scripts/rightnow.cfg/php.exe/enduser/fattach_get.php?p_sid=FtNpc2Kj&p_tbl=9&p_id=273&p_created=…

So, I am looking for something that can give me ~1000-1200W @ 4ohm for my home system & for testing subwoofers. Form factor really doesn't matter, rack mount or plate. Cost is a factor, so nothing outrageously expensive. If you have something for sale yourself, let me know, and we can talk. Let me know what you think is good, and why. I'm going to try to pick up something by the end of the week, so I can get one of our manufacturers my thoughts on one of his prototypes already. Thanks guys.

This thing is so powerful it's hard to get started, especially since I want out of the ordinary responce, not flat. Since it has 1/120th control I don't know where to start with Q... 60/120? Thats the default IIRC. I basically need to lower everything boosting nothing as I need to create a LP effect. I want 5Hz-10Hz to be 6dB above 11Hz-18Hz. I want 11Hz-18Hz to be 6dB above 19Hz-30Hz. I want 19Hz-30Hz to be 6dB above 31Hz-250Hz. This is all guesstimation, obviousely not a 6dB drop between 1Hz increments... just to give an idea of what I am after. I may simply center at 45Hz and EQ down 24dB and vary my Q until I am happy, unless I get some good feedback. Thank you for tr…

im not positive .. but i need a receiver to hookup my computer to a home theater setup right? what receiver is recommended for under $500 .. cheaper if possible, just want to get something setup, that can be amplified. i am thinking of 2 xti 1000s.

i want to hook this up to my computer http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002KVQBA/ref=asc_df_B0002KVQBA1401408?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&linkCode=asn&creative=395093&creativeASIN=B0002KVQBA&tag=cnet-3769-20

sanyo PLV-1080HD. $1540 out the door w/ tax. love it so far, screen i built myself, roughly 125", the viewing distance is kinda small but it doesnt look like your sitting too close at all, IMO its perfect. obviously, my crappy camera doesnt do it justice.

I have a H/K amp that I picked up off the sidewalk last year, and its been bangin pretty good for awhile, but then it blew a fuse out of no where. Replaced the fuse and it blew again, so something is busted. Its a Harman/Kardon PM645 Vxi, 60Wx2. Looks to be fairly modern, since it has CD inputs, but its got a MM/MC phono input, so it can't be too new. I like this amp because of its simplicity, only knobs on the front, no LCDs or anything, so I was wondering if anyone knew a good place to have it repaired. I read that some H/K amps have problems with the soldering going bad from the heat. I know that this particular amp heats up pretty good. I have a full schematic …

Hey, my friend recently inherited two 12" Sony Xplod subs for free, and we want to design a subwoofer for his dorm using these. He needs the line-level inputs on his amp so he can hook up via speaker wire (no LFE channel), and it needs to be fairly reasonably sized. I am thinking about this amp: Parts Express 70 watt plate amp Sound quality? obviously not key, but it would be nice to have smooth and fairly deep bass. I have lots of tools and saws, and some left over OSB to laminate to MDF if that works... I was thinking ported, but sealed may be easier to build. Here is the front view of what I was thinking in ghetto type: ----------------- -+++----------- ++++--…

I'm looking for a subwoofer and speakers to use in a 2.1 bedroom home theater/listening set up. I have in mind Using a 150-300w (Was looking at the bash 300w plate amp but not sure about if I like the auto on/off) plate or regular amp (up for debate). Info: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=300-750 As far as subwoofer goes, I had in mind using a 10" in a T-line specifically the soundqubed SDC 2.0. mainly because I think they look awesome, there cheap, and wouldn't mind throwing it in my car one day. Im looking for a flat responce and something that sounds good. Also up for debate. Info on amp: (10" isn't showing but here's the 8")http://www.sound…

i need a reciever thatll work with my behringer ep1500. my current one has no sub out, and the only one in the house that does is a HT reciever, and it sounds like ass. should i find a stereo reciever with a sub out, or a HT reciever? being that its for music, i should get a stereo one right?

Im wanting to make a little 2.1 setup with some full range drivers im looking at the fostex ff165k In the link it shows the enclosure I would probably build for them. Does anyone have expirience with this kind of setup. This will be used for watching movies and listening to music. Do you guys know what kind of power these these would need. Im starting from scratch so im also looking for a receiver or some other way to power them for under $300. Im not to familiar with Home audio so I dont really know any thing so any help is ok with me. fostexff165k

Ok I want to get a little 2 way HT and something to listen to music with. I really like the woodies on parts express since they are cheap and I wouldent have to build a crossover. Im just trying to put something together that is cheap I was thinking this receiver pioneer vsx-518-k I figure that way if I ever want to go 5.1 I could. Now my question is would this receiver work is it enough power to run these? What would the drivers wire down to, what load would the receiver see? Here are the woodies

Ok well i need suggestions for a home audio setup for my room.... Once i get a little money i might re-do it.... I have an older (maybe 8-10 years old) Technics reciever and it is fine so i don't see any reason to get rid of it... I also have some jbl speakers from a Home-Theatre-In-The-Box type thing we bought a while back... There is a KLH sub in my room too that sucks pretty bad and would be the first thing to go.... It has a 125 watt plate amp on it but not sure how true that rating it, although i do believe it is rms.... My budget is $300 bucks for a subwoofer amp.... How much would a decent 500 watt RMS amp cost and would it be a direct hookup to where my powered su…

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?

I helped my dad land a TC1000 15" when they were on sale, since he is going to only use 1 we went with the SVC version. He got a 300w Bash to power it, and now we need to nail down box parameters. I'm thinking of a box around 9 cubes tuned to 15hz, but I don't know where to place the port? Does it matter? The parameters of the sub are: 15" TC-1000 Qts 0.346 Qes 0.381 Qms 3.82 Fs 15.6Hz Res 3.66Ω Ls 2.64mH Lp 3.58mH Rp 3.16Ω Dia 320mm Vas 393l mms 238g cms 433um/N bl 15.0T*m Spl 87.8dB If you think a 9 cube ported box is the wrong way to go, please let me know what we need to build. This home theatre sub will be used mostly for movies, some music probably 80% HT, 20%…

I have been reading, but still don't understand. Is there a difference between home subwoofers and car subwoofers? Would i have a problem hooking up a Fi Q to a plate amp? And the speakers. Is it not possible to hook up lets say some JL ZR650-CSi speakers to a receiver. Would this not work?

I was wondering if anyone had some objective data or even and explanation as to why a high end processor would sound better then a low end processor/receiver. I understand that subjective listening plays a role in what people prefer and that some audiophiles look at audio more as a hobby but is there a hardware reason that impacts sound quality? I am not talking about double blind tests and the side that states everything sounds the same but as of yet I have not found any objective data that would justify this night and day difference. I have searched the internet for sometime and found a profile on photobucket that has quite a selection of photo's, yes some people will k…

I have a Pioneer RX-560 home reciever, and speakers. Has MTX Thunder 3000 subs in it, thats it. right side is gone on the unit, only the left works. I was playing tones and it pops when I start stop the tones and a high pitch ringin out of the mids. I just use this thing to play music out of my computer, and I'm using 3.5mm to rca ran under my baseboard to the reciever and it is hooked into the aux. I'll have a video..
