Thanks, but I don't think I'm a F12 kinda guy. I was trying to come up w/sealed 12" for two bills. As mentioned w/apa 150 route I'm looking at assembly for 4 bills. I can throw one more on top of that and snag a SVS SB1000 along w/5 yr warranty. Even going w/truck box cabinet, 200 w amp plate...

See my ETA above. Using the APA 150 w/150 RMS 12" woofer sounds like a good set-up to me as I'm not a HT guy. That would be plenty of power for my system and the ATA coupled w/sealed box should be musically pleasant.

I did a search and found this explaining that sealed boxes usually come in best around 50. I suppose I need to snoop for a cabinet that comes close to 2.42 ft.³. The APA 150 appears to be quite a better set-up than the plates. I couldn't complain about a clean signal at the same RMS as the...

Thanks, but the speaker is 4 ohms, so how does that work? I apologize for my ignorance. ETA: I see the same spkr comes in 4 or 8 ohms. Not much difference except I was working w/1.13 ft.³ size box. I've no idea what, Sealed F3 pertains unto. Besides that and the box for the 8 ohn having...

"RMS Power per channel at 4 ohms 75 Watt" Is that correct? Am I able to use both the channels to come up w/150WRMS? "and bridgeable for 150watts" I suppose that's what bridgeable refers unto. I'm lost on most of the tech lingo.

Again, my modest 1650 H/K receiver is rated at 95W @ 2-channel and I'm powering two Klipsch F-10s/2-horns 2-6.5" midrange/bass combo two-way. Originally I was going to buy this/build that though I'm reevaluating my stance. Now I'm turning frugal. I don't want a HT rarely watch movies and when...

Gotcha. My dilemma as such is that most of what I play wasn't recorded as a CD originally. Some remasters better than others and some are straight recordings off a LP/EP or 78. The quality varies. A bit as listening to classical music on FM I have to drop some bass and add treble. The sound...

Just trying to familiar myself a mite before I snag a sub. I thought more/less treble wouldn't effect the sub and m/l bass wouldn't have an effect on the tweeter. Due to ignorance I figured bass & treble adjustments were separated by a middle of the road frequency around 2800 Hz. Yet, I...

Thanks that makes sense. Right now I've used the OSD manual feet measurement for the stereo set-up then dialing in the bass/treble to what sounded best. Fairly simple for me w/two-way speakers and two controls. So, the OSD menu should have a sub screen allowing me to adjust the sub tone...

It has a dedicated line for a sub, but I began wondering if the bass/treble adjustment -10/+10 would still apply to my two F-10 mains. Otherwise I'd be stuck w/treble adjustment on the main two-way speakers w/woofer not adjustable which doesn't make any sense. Thanks If I cross a sub at...

"more efficiently used ... substantially lower their distortion" I like the way you said it correctly. Win/win. It makes sense that I'd only potentially notice a better sound from the little woofers at higher volumes. I wouldn't think the horns would be effected save indirectly by having a...

I'm trying to grasp the concept and differing applications. I know that whopper would look menacing lurking just under the square table. As I understand, by taking the bass duties away from the two 6.5" woofers, w/powered sub, I'll have that much more available to push the midrange and the...

I'd slap something on for a finish and it would rest on carpet under a table. I can see the reasoning for the BASH 500 over the 300. My thought was that my music is probably played at 35-75 w per channel, 1/3-2/3 of available power and I really shouldn't need that much power, e.g. 500W, for a...

Thanks ShadyJ for the info. I've seen online suggestions that a speaker should be rated 1.4X the amp to 2x w/ohms being the same. I see talk about clipping that as I understand is a horn/tweeter issue. I also note the BASH 300 wrms amp. If it was at sale price then I would be looking right at...

I see this kit mentioned in another thread. I note this speaker has a maximum rating of 900 wrms 4 ohms. Is there any reason that a lower rated amp from 250-500W couldn't be used if you planned on playing at lower volumes? I'm only pushing a maximim of 95w a channel on two speakers rated...

Thanks. One of the hardest things in dealing w/matters that I'm unfamiliar with is separating what is essential and what is essentially hype. From the looks of the Al for an extra 50 clams I was listing towards the latter. I'm taking a big hit on the plastic this month, so I can't budge on...

Thanks for the information on the PE kits. Inevitably I'm going to wonder how they compare to the 15" Rythmik kit sans cabinet. At that price point, $619/$52 shipped w/both the 12/15 using the same 370wrms amp, it wouldn't seem reasonable to choose the smaller if I went that route. Whilst...

Geeze Louise 500 watts RMS is probably twice the power my system would want, but it should sound swell at lower power settings. Do you crimp terminals on a certain gauge wire to hook up the amp w/spkr? I'm not leery in the least of SVS. Sadly, I'm ignorant and inquisitive despite my online...

I would hope the F-10s woofer response, to a sub taking 100hz crossover, could be described as lively. Wow, do I ever have egg on my face. I was snooping around for more info on the sealed sub and, in blind hog fashion, stumbled across this little acorn...

It's all good info guys and I appreciate everyone sharing their knowledge. In a weak moment I found myself eyeballing the discontinued Klipsch for three bills shipped. It's ported and more HT style, but I liked the price range for 300 watts of which I might use fifty. Still, I feel a good sealed...
