subwoofery

If you liked the sound of those monitors then you should check out PMC speakers. www.pmc-speakers.com A lot of recording studios across the world use that brand - UK brand. I've heard a demo and it was so impressive. The focus is unbelievable even though it was in an open space (not a properly setup room with minimized reflection) - just an open space like best buys displaying their products. Amazing I tell you...

Can we have a direct comparison of the New Mag VS let's say... 3 x Focal 21WX??? Kiddin.................

Thanks a lot for the clarification and answers. Yes, I meant phono cartridges. hmm... so 5.1 is enough. Sweet. I don't need to buy 2 more drivers. Still need to deceide on the amp though. Budget will be between 600-1000 for 100w min for each channel.

Been reading about Integra and am interested in the DTC-9.8 sound processor. Need to pair it with something... like a 5 or a 7 channel. Am repeating myself but a few of my previous questions have not been answered. -does blu-ray work with 5.1 or should I be better off installing a 7.1 setup? -what "cartridges" do? -if I wanted to protect my system from power surge. What would you recommend? -My room is close to 9000cuft (or 540sqft), is the AV123 MFW-15 enough? or is the Epik Castle more suited for that big of a room? Thanks again for taking the time. Kelvin

Thanks for the response guyz. Well just to clarify, it is cuft, not sqft. Just went to a website to convert meters to sq and my room is around 540sqft. After reading a few things, I think that you're right, might not go with the PrimaLuna but just with an A/V receiver. Is the amp in the A/V receiver defeatable? Just in case I want to add another amp in the future. Rotel and Outlaw Audio seems to be quite expensive for what it is. Wouldn't Sony, Pioneer and Denon be a better choice? I know optical is only for audio, but would it matter to have a different brand than Sony, since I'm using a Playstation 3 for Blu-ray. Also, does blu-ray work with 5.1 or should I be better off installing a 7.1 setup?

Come on man... People are still waiting...

Hi all, I know the minimum for car audio but regarding HT setups, I'm a real newbie First of all, I want to understand some concepts: - what is the use of a pre-amp? - what is the use of a AV receiver? Only for 5.1? - is an AV receiver an integrated amplifier for 5.1? (stupid question I know lol) - what "cartridges" do? - are surround soud processors necessary? I'm pretty much set on some components for a 5.1 setup: *Blu-ray Player: PlayStation 3 *Projector: Panasonic AE2000U *Front Floor-standing Speakers: Gallo Reference 3 (pair) *Front integrated amp: PrimaLuna Prologue 2 *Center Speaker: Gallo Reference Center *Side Speaker: Gallo Reference Du

You CAN rate an amp by peak: Turn the gain fully clockwise when you have a 8v headunit and wait for the subwoofer to smoke Turning a 500rms amp into a hellish 2500rms lol

Since the proto is pretty much ready... Would there be a chance for us to have some pre-specs? qts, fs, mms and the likes?

Ohh ok. I'm asking because the BM is only going to be dual 4 and the mag only dual 2. Am planning a 1 sub system and was wondering which to choose: - new BM with 400rms sealed (0.5 to 1.0cuft) or - new Mag with 650rms sealed (1.0cuft) My system consist of: CD7000 Focal 165K3P upfront bi-amped (TN52 replaced by Brax Matrix 1.1) Milbert Bam 230ab for Mids and Tweets Audison LRx3.1k for Midbasses and Subs Wiring: Comps - Totem Acoustics Tress // Subs - Van Den Hul The Magnum Hybrid // Comps RCAs - Van Den Hul The Integration // Subs RCA - Tara Labs RSC Sub

therefore, 1w/1m, which is more efficient?

Stupid question but since the mag and the bm use the same Xbl^2 motor. Do they have the same efficiency? or is one more efficient than another...

Site works now. www.ascendantaudio.com Enjoy!

PRICE my friend... Price is the only thing that can be compared. Mainstream will almost always be a lot more expensive than let's say an internet based company (comparing of course 2 drivers in the same league). Stupid and pretty bald statement but true nonetheless.

Go for ID horns then you'll be able to get some 8" midbass.

Nobody mentionned the amp's fuse?

Just for your info, FI car audio's owner used to be the RE Audio's engineer. Don't get started on the possibility that he was fired. lol He just wanted to start his own company with his own ideas.

Do some research or just read the whole thread. That question has been asked a thousand times already.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing: BIG Axx 10" Thanks man for the clarification.

Only hear the Focals but I'll say DLS anyway

Like the way you think

For $500, I'd recommend either HSK165 (Hertz Car Audio), believe some had it for $300 authorized. Power handling is more than 125rms and good efficiency of: 92 1w/1m. or Focal K2P 165, impressive midbass, sweet midrange, clear tweeter (maybe too bright lol) overal, a good rounder. or Mbquart PVF 216, haven't heard those but they have received a really good review in a german magazine, been ranked with Utopia be's, Rainbow platinium, Brax Matrix and the likes (REFERENZKLASSE) Those are what I'd recommend for rap. Then again, you can go DIY but I'm not really familiar with those.

That is why I made a thread about it. Would you be able to tell us more about it or is it still in the planning stage (or a secret ) http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=14526 Thank you Scott.

Anyone?

I know that the 12" and the 15" values are a bit low but they are still in their "zone". However, 487.00cm
