Hey fellow Audioholics, I have been out of the custom integration game for a bit too long now. I currently have a multizone amplifier that operates independent of my HT systems, and I want to keep it that way. I currently use the Dayton HiFly systems for each of the zones. It is nice having the...

Hello All - Its been a LONG time since I posted a project here. Anyway, wanted to share a project I did as a gift to my daughter for her 7th birthday. Now she has music in her room whenever she wants it! Build Photos The ‘PasoBaric 490’ Components: Dayton Audio ND90-4 – Quantity 4 Peerless by...

Hello all! Looking at purchasing some in-ear headphones for my kids and wanted to get an idea of some good sounding but very affordable phones for them for Christmas. While some of the RBH Beryllium phones may be on my list, they would be a bit much for my kids I am thinking no more than $30...

Hello All, it's been awhile since I created a topic. Anyway I am getting into real planning stages for a set of DIY full active reference speakers. Going back to some extended listening sessions I had done a number of years ago with some Martin Logan Prodigy speakers and some B&W 801 & 802 I...

Hi all! Seems like the better part of a decade since I last posted a build project here. Kinda sad on my part I suppose but, 2 kids and a foster child plus the two we had keeps me a bit busy. Anyway a friend of mine is doing a theater in his basement. It is a fairly large space so we needed...

Up for sale is a custom subwoofer I crafted for one of my customers. He no longer has a need for it as we did a custom in-wall Theater system in his new home. I am selling this for him. This is a dual passive radiator design with an Acoustic Elegance AV-12X Series driver at its core. The...

Well I finally had some time and funds to start on finishing a section of my basement. Although I plan to move in about two years but I might as well add some square footage to boost the value. What better way to do it than a Theater! :D This project will b eon going so expect occasional...

I am still on the lookout to score a used Behringer A500 and a DCX2496 at a reasonable price. Let me know if you have either that you need to get rid of.

Here is a project I just finished for a customer of mine. The goal of this project was to provide ample output down to the high teens in a large open room, yet be unobtrusive in the room taking up minimal floor space. The sub must also make a sort of visual impression within the room in terms...

I have been looking around for a new potential project for some of my customers. I have been trying to find a quality 12" driver I could use in a minimal enclosure (below 2.0ft^3 net volume) with some modest EQ. I also wanted to find a driver that was reasonably priced. Enter the Image...

I am in need of another Behringer DCX2496. Anyone out there have one they need to rid themselves of? PM me please if you have one for sale. Thanks!!

So I wanted to do a set of bookshelf speakers on the cheap, yet deliver reasonably good performance. I have a Behringer DC2496 that is only taking care of a sub right now, as well as extra amplifier channels available. I might as well put them to good use. The enclosures are sealed and offer...

So I have a new Onkyo TX-SR707 and a Panasonic DMP-BD65. I get no picture using the HDMI in on the Onkyo along with the HDMI Monitor Out. Is this a cable issue or a hardware issue with either piece? This area is not exactly my my area of expertise as I have finally upgraded my receiver...

Here is another build project I have been working on. This one is for a customer of mine. They have children and did not want a sub (or speakers) anywhere within the kid's reach. I will be doing 5 in-ceiling speakers, 3 with directed sound-field options for the front. The enclosure is...

Hey everyone. Here is a volume calculator I came up with. I figured it would be a big help for some of the newbies. This site does not have one and all the others seem to. It is in excel. Simply enter in the dimensions (internal) that you wish and it calculates exterior dimensions for...

So I am going to do a full active DIY setup in my home. I need 10 channels of power however (two per channel) to accomplish this. Crossover duties will be handled by the DCX2496. I need about 50 watts rms minimum x 10 at 8ohms. The amplifier(s) should have level adjustment as well. I am...

Hey gang. Here are some early photos of my latest project. I am building my wife a semi portable, self-contained, powered speaker system for use with an I-pod or other audio source for Christmas. It could even be used as a computer speaker or as a powered bookshelf speaker. It consists of...

I was thinking about politics the other day when something pretty clear hit me. If politicians actually did their jobs in doing what is best for America, its citizens, and their constituents rather than trying force their own agenda(or that of those padding their re-election coffers), they would...

So a very good friend of mine wanted "bass in his space" but would not have any sort of enclosure on the floor. He is not a "bass head" by any means but wanted a sub for movies & such. After checking out his unfinished room, we determined the location and measured out some dimensions. Seeing...

Wanted: I am looking for a well cared for an Onkyo TX-SR705 or TX-SR805 I need a bargain! :)
