In my opinion if this was intended to come out to anything other than 65, this was a failure on the part of the person who created the problem. In the beginning there was a train, and it was empty before the conductor got on, "some people" got on, 19 people got off, and 17 people got on. So...

This lady took a different route dealing with Comcast customer service.

Handbrake uses x264 to do the actual encoding, and you can find cpu comparisons for x264 on anandtech.com in the bench section.

I'm pretty sure that material is supposed to go between the driver and the cabinet. My guess is that is helps it make an air tight seal. When I built my first one I thought it was pretty quiet, but it got louder as it broke in and I've turned my pair down to even with my other speakers at...

I started with 2.0, got a center channel, then a sub. After a few upgrades I've got a 5.2 system right now and I wonder if the surrounds were really worth the money, but I'd be hard pressed to give up the center. I find it easier to understand dialog with the center and I like the ability to...

That TV mount looks interesting. Who makes it and where did you get it?

I don't think I saved the port measurements, but I basically just cut the top, bottom, and sides to the dimensions listed in the pdf and calculated what the dimensions of the port would need to be based on those sizes. I don't have any real way of measuring it, but from listening to test...

It looks like voting ended on the 19th and you're tied w/ PBC. Not sure what that means, maybe you get dual custody?

I built a pair using the specs provided by jinjuku in this thread and these 300 watt BASH plate amps and am very happy with them. The bass response was a little uneven with one sub in my room, but with two it evened out the response well in my room. We watch a lot of movies, and use them for...

I'm looking forward to a Windows 8 tablet/laptop hybrid if the right hardware comes along. I'm actually wondering how well a Win8 tablet would work for games like Day of the Tentacle and real time strategies. That said, I'm absolutely not interested in Windows 8 for home or business use at...

I've seen the Samsung 830 series 128GB drives on sale at Newegg for around $85-89 a few times in the last month or so, have built several systems with them and I like them. Anand at anandtech.com has recommended them as Samsung has better quality control than other manufacturers that have had...

I've been using two WD TV Live boxes for about half a year and haven't had any trouble playing any of my media. Audio has always been in sync. The big reasons I went with this is that it's silent and I haven't seen a remote solution for a computer that seemed decent and didn't cost an arm and a...

I've had two of the WD TV Live boxes for the past half year or so and have been really happy with them. I've not had any problems with mkv files created by handbrake. I'm running ubuntu server and currently using mediatomb to serve my media to the WD TV Live boxes without transcoding...

I saw you'd asked a similar question in the thread titled "Infinity 1260w build - low output" and answered there. I tried to post a reply in this thread with a link to that, but it said it would need approval by a moderator and I guess that didn't happen, so I'm just copying and pasting the...

I've had the gain between 50-60% for a few days now and think it blends well with the rest of my system without sounding like it's drowning out the mids and highs. I actually had it around 75-80% prior to that and I never really heard anything that sounded like I was pushing the driver too...

I've replied to the amp question in my build thread.

So it looks like I panicked prior to allowing the driver to break in. I think I was also looking for output levels above what I would actually use beyond just showing off. I'm happy with my build with a single cable going in to the LFE input, the gain on the receiver set at 0 and the gain on...

Ok so I've been listening to it quite a bit tonight and I think I'm getting the output I want if I put a splitter on the cable coming from the amp and run rca cables from the splitter to the left and right inputs. So I guess the question now would be, should I have to do that with this Bash...

It is the 1260w. I went with that driver since that's 4ohm and the amp was as well. I did try running it free air before putting it in the cabinet and didn't turn it up very high at all, just made sure it was moving. It seemed very low when testing it free air, but as this is my first sub...

I just finished a sub build with an Infinity 1260w and a 300 watt Bash amp from parts express. I used the model jinjuku provided in this thread. I just tested it out hooked into my Yamaha RX-A3000 in the same place my Klipsch RW-10d was, and using the same cable into the LFE input on the 300...
