    Reverse Engineering a Loudspeaker

    As many here probably know, Ascend Acoustics has provided an upgrade path for their speakers, and I will be performing the upgrade on my Sierra Towers RAAL. I am considering the possibility of "reverse engineering" a set of cabinets so I can re-use the original drivers in a DIY type of build. I...

    Plasma display source

    I discovered a website called Back Market. https://www.backmarket.com They sell refurbished electronics. I found them while desperately hoping I could find a plasma display for sale somewhere. I was wondering if anyone had heard of them or purchased from them?

    Well...I'm steamed!

    I have to vent so the Steam vent seamed like the place. I work nights and when I was leaving for work I couldn't find my wallet. I was certain I left it on the kitchen counter but, I get a little absent minded now and again. I go to work thinking maybe I left it there. Nope. Got home this...

    Damping material

    Im trying to decide on the best material for stuffing enclosures. I have read about the merits of fiberglass but the downside is the itch. Poly fill is a popular choice but may not be as good as fiberglass. I was wondering about wool. Its not too expensive. It certainly has good damping...

    2 Wheels

    It's been 12 years since I owned a bike. My last was a 98 Softail Custom. I recently got the itch to ride again and started shopping. This was the end result. 2014 V-Rod Muscle. I don't have a cloud acct so a stock photo will have to do. It has little under 850 mi on it, so just broke in. What...

    What to expect from this kit.

    Looking at this DA sub kit from PE. The vented volume for this thing is 12.7 ft3. :eek: Does that seem right? The kit is the sealed enclosure. I was wondering what one might expect in terms of output, low freq rolloff and articulation out of this kit. The price is cheap enough. Has anyone built...

    pre out voltage

    Ok my pre/pro has 1.0v/1kohms pre amp output. If I understand this correctly, this is the rated voltage before clipping. I mated it with an Emo XPA2 with an amplifier gain of 29db. I was doing some reading in the AV research tab and was wondering if I'm not getting as much headroom or dynamic...

    The awakening

    Didn't know what to call it, but I have noticed my girlfriend buying a lot of cd's lately. When I met her, she listened mostly to mp3s that she downloaded and her Ipod. We went to Wal-mart to get a few things and we always like to look in the $5.00 cd bins. We have found some great cd's this...

My plan is to replace the "sub" that came with a cheap HTIB in the bedroom. Any idea on what its worth. $200 maybe? My apologies, I thought I...

    bluetooth

    I have a need to connect my pre/pro, plasma, I phone, tablet and whatever else I might want in the future, to each other via Bluetooth. I have managed to get video from my plasma to my tablet, but not the other way round and had no audio from my pre/pro. As an example, I would like to go from...

    Amp ratings

    On the back of my Emo XPA2, it states 1500 watt max. Is this the max output at highest load or max consumption at highest load?

    Sherbourn is Rotel?

    I was tinkering with the Bluetooth on my pre/pro last night, streaming some music from my phone. When my phone found my pre, it came up as Rotel. This left me wondering, did Sherbourn put their name on a Rotel pre, or did they just use a Rotel component for Bluetooth. If it is a Rotel with a...
