Jl fathom f212 diy vs JL's version
Kinda leaning towards trying a funk audio sub's however unfortunately It doesn't seem like their are many reviewsI can get about 40% off a new JL sub.... Not sure what they would do if I get a pair of funk audio subs... 15.3's is probably a better... 
Class D amps
Eric... thanks for posting that!! I have been debating on jumping on the class D bandwagon in the next few weeks & have been wondering how to break it in. So what's the verdict, just having the amp on or does in need music/noise through it?Kin... 
$2500 amp question
I looked at the MC352 & it's more then I can swing. $2500 is the max I can do, I think that was close to $4K or something like thatthanks for the input though.... yea not the easiest speakers to drive... 
Time to replace Integra DTC 9.8- what to get?
Went to a local store today who sells integra & a few other brands. His concern was most of the other items have a similar front panel, lots of buttons for the kids to touch. He said there are some with a few buttong but they cost a LOT more..... 
Time to replace Integra DTC 9.8- what to get?
thanks, been reading up on the Marantz.... going to try to find a shop somewhat close that sells them. Yea, I figured I could read through the manual to figure it out which I will do. I think it's stupid that they made this unit in a way that is d... 
Adcom GFA-5802 -vs- Parasound HCA-3500 Amps?
bringing back a old thread :)I have a adcom gfa-5500 & parasound hca-1500'sparasounds sound a lot better across the board with MUCH better low end, powering old infinity kappa 8.1 speakers. My adcom (which I love in my car) now is sitting in m... 
Why the obsession with the lowest octave
Several posts up I think someone mentioned that larger drivers are not as effecient as smaller drivers which make them require a much larger amp.I have always thought that larger speakers are more effecient, like compare a JL 8w7 at 82.7db to a JL... 
Wyred 4 Sound and Thiels
I think a lot of times the shops will talk down stuff they can't sell or that a competitor sells. I would bet if you would go in there & say you have a w4s STI-1000 & are interested in a pair of theil X.XX's they would say it would be a gr... 
How loud is loud, What DB is actually loud?
yea, I would think if you double the cone area & also double the power you would get a 6db gain vs a just increasing the power. If each speaker is getting 50w I would think it would move more air then a single driver with 100w. No clue with th... 
How loud is loud, What DB is actually loud?
I never sat it it at full volume.... this was back almost 20yrs ago that I was into car audio a lot. Adcom amps (which I still have), Denon CD player.... etc.. I wanted a Mcintosh amp but they were just so expensive..... out of my budget so I stuc... 
How loud is loud, What DB is actually loud?
more to it then it's sensitivity :) Some of the best sounding speakers are in the 80-90db efficiency areaI think it depends on the person on what DB is loud. I prefer loud music.... & movies my brother doesn't like it anywhere close to as loud...

Best Towers Under $1500 for beginner system
How about a used set of old infinity speakers, preferably a pair of Kappa 8.1's? They can be found for $400-1400 & sound great. The 7.1's are easier to drive but do not play as low, still great speakers!!! Many state the 9.1's do not sound as ... 
Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please
how about some of the wyredforsound stuffClass D & some say it sounds great. I talked tote them a while ago about how to power my kappa 8.1's & also a pair of 18in subs I was thinking of building & they stated they sell their amp for p... 
best AVR for dual use in HT/music?
I would get whichever unit you like to use the most & also one that has the options you like. Then when the time comes buy a descent 2 channel amp, even a $400 Adcom GFA-5500, SQ will go way up!!I used a old Denon reveived (1993-2009) that I j...
