  1. Personally I would use an Icon over any other sub mentioned copper coil....smooth sound .....digs really REALLY low in a well designed enclosure I ran Xcons too , the 10" Icons literally destroyed the 15" Xcons for low end extension output with the same amplifier and the Icons were much more musical
  2. I just spent all friggin night doing a complete recovery and repair of windows 8 and all the explorer apps..... problem fixed now all I have to do is figure out what really made the universe .....
  3. this laptop worked fine for about a year and a half...just the last month or so the problem has come up , I'll try and delete the mouse driver and see what happens
  4. tried a regular mouse , still the same
  5. windows 10...great spend more money to upgrade , take 3 years to learn to use it , find out it sucks....wait for the next upgrade ..... Microsoft has us stuck in a financially and mentally draining loop.....LOL
  6. dock moving = 1 drag from max = 1 drag full windows = 1 drag height = 4 drag width = 4
  7. did all that... it says ( value not set )
  8. I made a few enclosures with both Lexan and Plexi the Lexan flexes/vibarates if used for large windows or panels and makes noise, it can not be bent either because it has a memory and wants to flex back , Plexi can be bent with heat and it will hold it's shape lexan scratches easily too
  9. windows 8 sucks when I was working on my website I wanted to snap my laptop in half and drive over it
  10. that's one of the reasons why those expensive Frugal Horns have a nice looking hardwood faceplate and everything behind is either Baltic Birch or MDF personally I hate working with MDF because of the dust but it's the most acoustically dead and the reason why I use it the most
  11. I built a few enclosures out of real hardwood , measure 10 times and cut once because one bad cut can be expensive....LOL hardwood makes a nice looking enclosure but it has to be maintained like a piece of fine furniture .. oiled so it does not dry out
  12. no mouse works fine , I can drag the highlighted text over to another page but when I release the mouse button it just vanishes never to be seen again....weird
  13. this windows 8 makes me feel semi-retarded....LOL anyways I have having trouble dragging some things over from page to page and some things just will not copy and paste ( most things) I checked all the add ons restet the explorer , rebooted , updated java and flash my wife says she is having trouble dragging cards playing on the POGO website to so something isn't right anyone got any Idea's ???
  14. after a 2nd look at the pic of your amp I noticed the bass boost does not have a variable frequency I bet it is a boost pre set in the 40-45hz area .... if this is turned up to high your sub will crap out on the higher frequencies before you ever get a chance to get enough power down lower I would turn it right down to start
  15. I see your sub sonic filter is on a factory setting of 25hz..... with the slope your probably loosing all the punch below 30hz turn it off...that pretty much filters out all the low slows I would lower the LPF a bit...get all the voices and upper bass out of the way and concentrate the power on the lower stuff I would also lay the box on it's side and rear fire it see how that does

    I did some Deer and Moose hunting with dad when I was younger and got a deer on my own back in 1989 , have not shot a gun since
  17. LOL..... I got the TV out of my dads storage room , it's a heavy little thing
  18. Thumpper posted a topic in Off Topic
    I ran across a few un expected finds cleaning up my dads estate a brand new ( never fired ) Remington 270 Winchester with a Leupold scope and all the trimmings just waiting for the weather to break so I can go sight it in
  19. the only caution I would give is stay away from anything with acetone in it (some rubber cements) it will turn a foam surround into mush...a very trajic ending....LOL
  20. even if you had limited power you should still have some low end I would definitely start with the box , sounds like it is tuned to high
  21. personally I would use the White Surround Dampener , it dries clear and stretches with the surround silicone will work but it looks like ass , to stiff and it shrinks when it starts to dry out after time
  22. Prosound White Surround Dampener works really well fixing those
  23. I have an old school H & H Scott tube amp that my dad bought back in the 70's it is very warm sounding , fantastic sound quality for an integrated amp/preamp I even have the original H & H Scott 197B loud speakers that came with it ,had the woofers rebuilt a couple years ago
  24. I think it turned out really good for something I drew up on the shop floor with sidewalk chalk.............. the amp rack will have to be worked on , the holes were drilled for the Soundstream amps
  25. well the enclosure sounds spot on but the Soundstream REF 1.500 amp is almost useless at 3 ohm so I did some hunting around this morning traded my two REF 1.500 amps for a Crown BPX 2200.1 works perfectly but has some cosmetic damage , happy though I got enough power to launch that 10" thru the roof so it"s all good just waiting for the rain to break and I'll take a couple pics
