Okay, So I know I have the build thread but for those who just want to know the specifics I wanted to create a separate thread now that I have actually built this design and it is finalized. Here you will find relevant information needed to build these subwoofers. Since it seems many folks also...

This is going to be the official build thread for my pair of ported subwoofers featuring the Dayton Audio RSS460HO-4 driver. This is their reference line 18" High Output driver. The box parameters I will be using were conceived by forum member "TLS Guy". Attached is the PDF file he created with...

Most of us know that the room is one of the most important components in a sound system but few of us actually seem to do anything serious about it. In the past I built some DIY home depot special acoustic panels that I really did not think did much. Fast forward a few years and I have a much...

Soo.. Here's the deal. A few years ago I built a pair of the Kappa perfect subs and loved them. But I had to sell due to a move so some lucky guy got himself a pair of subs, a dcx and two rmx1450 amps for a song. Here's my problem. I am getting the itch for another pair of subs! I really have...

Ok so it is about time I got a new PC...I know this is not a computer forum but I am not a member on any of those forums and I also know that there are a good number of computer people here.. So anyway.. I am still using a 10 year old computer with pentium 4 processor, 4gb ram and XP with...

TEAC UD-501 Overview & Initial Impressions In this review I will detail my experience with the somewhat new to the US market Teac UD-501 USB Digital to Analog Converter. I purchased this DAC about a month ago and think it is about time I shared my thoughts and some additional info you may not...

Just wanted to drop a note to everyone that once again Liberty Cable has a good selection of their top of the line and now discontinued Z500 series cables in their bargain bin. These are top quality "audiophile" cables for pretty small money...

A little background, I have a 8w7v3 driver I use in my truck for a subwoofer, It came with a box when i bought it but I am building a new enclosure for the driver that is tuned lower and built better (the one i have now rattles) :rolleyes: I have been calculating the box size and dimensions...

I bought a few of these rockford T212D4 drivers because a local surplus and salvage store had them brand new and in perfect condition for 67 bucks a peice.. Online the cheapest they go for is over $400 I am selling a couple of them to recoup my money but want to keep one or two for my own...

So here's my situation. To put it plainly I am tired of working for other people. I want to be successful on my own.. And I love the audio hobby. I also love building and fabricating things. Which leads me to wanting to gauge the interest there is for people for a couple ideas. First, would...

Im usually not much for this kind of thing and I havent posted in a while but while browsing for some specialty cables for an upcoming idea I discovered that Liberty Cable is having a clearance on their audio cables. The prices are really great too considering... Liberty isint a huge name in the...

For those of you who dont countdown the moments until the new episodes are online for download on sundays, Here's part of this weeks episode :)

... you get bored after work and decide to weld a stacks on your lawn mower. :D well. A stack. I have to admit, she's pretty sweet now! I love to fabricate, engineer, design, weld and so on, so when i get bored i look for things i can do just that to. Just so happens the mower fell victim...

I am not at all ashamed to say it. I love country music :D And Taylor Swift but thats another story :p I know Im not alone! Who's your favorite country artist/song?

As some of you may remember when I built my dual kappa perfect subs i had a driver with a buzz problem so i decided to use it in my truck. I already had a 1 cubic foot sealed box with a polk 12 in there. It was better than the polk but really i wasnt that impressed still. So I decided to build...

I'm Just wondering what methods everyone uses to measure their subwoofer SPL in-room around here. We all hear claims of 120db and so on, I can nearly peg out my RS analog meter, measured 6 inches from the driver. But I'd probably blow my subs up trying to do that in my listening chair. We...

Here it is! The Tiny yet powerful Parasound Zpre2 preamp. This is a very versatile preamp. You get 4 line level inputs, Two outputs (one fixed one variable) you get bass,treble,balance and a headphone jack! It also has video switching for composite video. And 12v triggers! I DO NOT have the...

Here is a Speaker selector box, You can switch between 5 pairs of speakers with this. It is NOT impedance matching from what I can tell however it does seem to have some kind of resistance overload protection in the event of switching on too many speakers at one time. You can also use this to...

This is a formal review of the DIY kappa perfect 12vq subwoofer designed by Avaserfi and WmAx. I know that from talking with Avaserfi (Andrew) that he would be intersted in building these and selling them for those who dont want to or cannot DIY themselves, I dont know what the cost would be for...

Alrighty, Here is going to be a step by step (sortof) build thread of the Infinity Kappa perfect 12vq MidQ subwoofer designed by our very own members avaserfi and WmAx. This is the first build thread of this subwoofer so if your intersted keep reading! The plans to this subwoofer can be...
