You sure of that Pete? Most amp distortion vs. power curves have the same shape, reaching a minimum THD+N only at a substantial fraction of max....

Tweeters have very low inductance, so I expect a smaller rise, and see a smaller rise in the few curves that exceed 20KHz. However, that's the driver...

Recommended volumes from vendors are generally useless (like frequency range and recommended power). To get an idea about volume you need to use a...

Oh man Mark my heart goes out to you. As a fellow stone sufferer (about 20 so far) I fully understand your pain! My first one at 21 sent me to the...

The difference is that with MUSIC as the signal, the amount of high frequency power is MUCH lower in the unclipped 50W signal. 50W RMS being...

If you bought the parts from a design that you chose, you could send them here and I could assemble/label wiring for you. If the few bucks in 2 way...

Just went to madisoud and they say .25cu^ft3 so I guess the spec's are different depending on wich website you go on.I trust your build and looks...

Bolland83 are these woofers 8ohm?And also on the PE website it says ported box volume is .56cu^ft3,is that inaccurate

That's got to be shipped on the pallet. You could have a local shop cut the panels to size and then use regular router with Al bit ($40 Onsrud) to...

The blue paragraph is incorrect. If you drive both coils, whether in series, parallel, or if you drive both coils separately via two different...

BWHAHAHAHHA. Was this intentional quoting? +1,000,000

I will. First of, I doubt SL has a crappy design out so they are bound to sound great. High performance components and one of the loudspeaker...

This would make for one real nice center channel speaker. *contemplates*

The VSX 821 was just a level up over the entry level 521 IIRC. My VSX gets hot as it is already with normal listening volume. I'd just like to be on...

cradeldorf: I'm sorry, aluminum is really not an option for me. I'm pretty much limited to non metalic materials. Plus Greywarden has a point, the...

I rebuilt my 301's; put them on Kijiji and sold them to a teenager for more than I bought them then used the funds for my DIY. They just don't cut...

I second that the VSX will be ok at 4 ohms if your not trying for 120db all night. I ran the VSX52 at 4 ohm per channel and not a problem.

Very nice idea, don't mind if I borrow that some day. I am determined to tidy up my XO's from now on by having all connections underneath.

I looked up the Spark Core chip and it has a max bandwidth of 4Mb/s, which is less than the SPDIF specification, and that is the "max" and not...

You have another option... you could install a power resistor across one of the voice coils instead of shorting it and just drive the other coil.

You could rob a jewelry store and tell them to make you some tiny grills?

hmm....trying to figure out what exactly happens if you short one of the coils...looking at this example ...

I've pondered similar things and have built USB based audio boards, but putting together the whole wireless stream is a big job. One approach...

3M dual lock...like velcro but 1000x better. It's made of plastic, has exceptional grip, and the adhesive is a jelly like glue that isolates from...

I used 1/2" plywood board for my XOs. Route out the underside by 1/4", except the corners. Drill screw holes in the corners. Wire the components...

You might want to check out PE's re-coning services: http://www.parts-express.com/speakerrepaircenter/index.cfm You might also want to check a...

You are correct about the bandwidth requirement for SPDIF. This is why using a cheap video sender (not a wireless audio IC) works great. Even the...

Hopefully this helps... I have seen and heard the tritrix and they sound really good, especially for the price. You will really enjoy them...

the only place I was considering to use them was for the zobel the rest will be poly cap's.Due to cost I think it's worth a try.

Blu-Tac, Duck Brand double sided tape, or how about using some wood dowels as stand-offs with the board screwed to them. Velcro would be the...
