    Optoma HD33 3D Projector Video Review

    Noob question here! How do the entry level ($100ish) PJ's (HD33, HD66, HD20, etc...) compare in PQ (not features) to those of several (4 or more) years ago? I am asking because I have been reading archived info on past models! They reference the excitement surrounding the "darkchip 3" WHICH...

    DIY beats commercial subs anytime (thread split from other commercial sub threads)

    Would you recommend a sealed or ported cabinet design for this particular driver?

    Help needed wiring Def Tech Subs

    Okay, I finally fooled around with this last night while watching "Over the Hedge " with the kids last night. When the var. Xover was at 40HZ (during a somewhat tame scene audio-wise) the sub was nearly silent except for a brief rumble here or there. I then turned it all the way up to 150Hz and...

    Rti8's on one floor (The set that I want to wire in this manner) and RTi12's on another floor. Alright, pick yourself up off the floor and stop giggling. I do have a pair of 802 Nautilus also.

    Help needed wiring Def Tech Subs

    Now I'm really confused. So are you saying that I am able to exploit the variability or not? But again, I can't help but remember how Chet explained it. Also, these subs are brand new but are at least 10 yrs old.

    Well dammit, now wait. Now that I think about it, that doesn't comport with what Chet explained re: my original question. He said that the "high-level" signal from the AVR's "speaker out" would be "converted/utilized" as a "line level" signal to the amp on the SW at and below whatever I set it...

    Also, I don't have a way of showing an illustration like the manual, but there is a rotary dial for the gain and the roll-off adjustment and it is addressed further here. I don't know, I guess I don't absolutely have to understand every nuance to how the speaker operates to enjoy them (as long...

    Help needed wiring Def Tech Subs

    Interesting, because from pg 9 in the manual, it reads word for word like mine, and from the context of hooking up mains from the SW at the high level inputs, they go on to explain about adjusting gain and crossover to taste. I must be not getting it. Well, from the manual, someone explain...

    Greetings furry friend from the Metro area just north of you. My model, the prosub 200tl do not share the exact specs (although they are on pg 11). Mine have a variable low pass crosover (40-150) with adjustment dial located on the back.

    Help needed wiring Def Tech Subs

    EDIT: Well, I just got off the phone with Chet at Def Tech. He explained that for the high level input, the SW only grabs a line level signal at whatever the crossover is set at (and below) and sends the the power (watts) to the terminals at the SW for speaker outputs for the mains. So the SW is...

    Help needed wiring Def Tech Subs

    Well I guess I should have added that I would also like the option to listen to plain ol' 2 ch music and I thought since my mains are not particularly adept at bass I could wire in that configuration. But I'm essentially jumping to the mains at the back of the S?W so the speaker cable must be...

    Help needed wiring Def Tech Subs

    O.K. here are the wiring diagrams from a manual that is the same as mine. http://www.definitivetech.com/documents/manuals/ProSub%201000/ProSub800_1000_Manual.pdf It is on page 7 where they give the high level inputs. My sub is exactly the same except it is not this exact model. My...

    Help needed wiring Def Tech Subs

    I'm a little embarrassed to say what my puny subs are but I think my question may be answered w/o saying. My DT sub allows for wiring with low level and high level outputs from the amp/receiver along with an LFE input. One option is to run from the L and R mains (from the amp/reciever), the...

    Yamaha RX-V863 AV Receiver Overview

    So I just got around to connecting my 863 for 2 ch listening. I finally disconnected my 800VA/600W 42 lb Yammy cr-2040 and replaced it with this 26 lb. 500VA/400W receiver. (sniffle). Can someone tell me, for just 2 channel music, is the 863 really an upgrade, SQ wise, from my vintage beast?

    I was always under the impression that the humming was because it didn't know the lyrics.
