    Bose: Why Audiophiles Should Stop the Hate

    That is all that matters. At least you made an informed decision and didn't decide to buy Brand-X before even auditioning any others. Enjoy !!

    CSS SDX12 Build Thread

    cool. My other one is dual APR 12's, but it is too large for a SDX12, so I will have to build a smaller cabinet. I am thinking of keeping the large cabinet for a bass bin in my band. I have to consider the need of keeping the APRs in it for that purpose, or plug them up... options options

    CSS SDX12 Build Thread

    It does sound pretty sweet. Was a little tricky getting it mounted in place of the old one. What design did you use? 15" APR or a pair of 12" APRs per sub?

    CSS SDX12 Build Thread

    imagine what you will be getting if you crank the master volume control up? I got something like 119 dB on my Trio12 at 20 Hz with volume around -6 on my receiver. (SPL meter at about 10 feet) from woofer cone. I think you should pick a "base frequency" that will be inside the curve that you...

    I may take you up on that offer sometime I am in the city! Do you have the "Subwoofer Mix" mp3? After you listen to it for a minute or 2, anything else that you thought had bass will sound like it doesn't :D

    subwoofer humming :(

    First guess is something shorted on the amp. last thing to try is to use an extension cord with 2 prong, so that the grounding prong of your sub power cable is not connected. See if the hum is still there. I doubt it will work in your case due to the backstory. Always worth exhausting all...

    Audio system for bathroom

    I put speakers in my bathroom last year. I ran a long 4-conductor speaker cable from the living room receiver, inside the wall to the attic, across the attic, to the bathroom, then down from the ceiling. Instead of making 2 holes in the ceiling, I used paintable speaker raceway across the top of...

    Capers TRIO12/APR15/BASH500 build

    Thanks!! You can change the weight from the outside. That 'thing' sticking out where the dust cap usually is on a speaker, houses metal washers (discs). Pretty neat idea. And yes, I already have a pair of RC-70s and an RC-LCR. Just have to wait for kids to get a little bigger before I introduce...

    Capers TRIO12/APR15/BASH500 build

    Hi guys. Earlier in the year I built a TRIO12 dual APR12 SPA500 sub, in an extra large 24" cube. Unfortunately, my large room (about 24' X 14', with an opening to a hallway and back half of the room about 18' wide) requires more subbage. Since the kit with a single 15" passive radiator (PR)...

    Caper's TRIO12 + 2 PRs Sub Build

    Started sub #2 already. It is also a TRIO12, but with a single 15" PR. Router & circle jig makes that part actually fun. The only not-so-fun-part is the interior brace. I haven't figured out an "easy" way of doing it. I am doing it the same way as in this build, except it is oriented...
