    Irascible Old Man Strikes Again

    Not as long as there are intelligent, cultured people....as in Audioholics. When I said how things will be in the future, I meant regarding rap music and that culture, not how everyone else will be.

    Irascible Old Man Strikes Again

    Ok so I've been reading all these posts and seems most of you are little out of touch with how things are these days. Being a junior in college I can explain how things really are. In todays world rap and hip hop are two different things. The majority of rappers out there are all talk and no...

    Educating the Ignorant

    The thing is they are both engineers, one chemical and textiles, and the other mechanical, so you figure they could understand some of what I'm talking about. They find it easy to discount my knowledge as marketing junk seeing as how I don't have my PhD and therefore my opinion doesn't...

    Educating the Ignorant

    I've just about given up trying to explain to my friends about good audio and video. I don't know how to do it. I have so much knowledge I've acquired about audio and video from my reading that I can't speak a language they can understand. I say words like hertz, frequency response, decibel...

    Explosions in the Sky

    Don't know if anyone out there is into the whole post-rock music, but this band is definately worth checking out. It's some of the most beautiful music I've heard put out lately. It's completely instrumental and has such a strong ambiance to it. It combines multiple instruments to build multiple...

    New king in town?

    Doesn't TC Sounds manufacture the drivers used in SVS's subs? I think this is the first time consumers can actually order their drivers from them directly. Their website used to look much different and their driver list was different. The specs look nice, except for that 82db spl on the...

    Purevolume

    I was just wondering if any of yall out there have heard about Purevolume.com It's a place where artists, signed and unsigned can go and put up streaming versions of their songs on the internet for anyone to listen to. It is a great website to promote bands that otherwise don't have the...

    Fullrange Drivers

    While browsing a bunch of DIY sites the other day, I had an idea. Is it possible/a good idea to use full ranger drivers such as Lowther, Fostex, etc. in a multi-way speaker? Too my knowledge no one has ever done this. My thought behind it would be that a full range driver could be used to handle...

    Ultra-loud car stereos?

    Just do me a favor and listen to some Nas and tell me if you think it's garbage(not saying it's the best, just better than most of the other stuff). Try the song Ether or One Mic.

    Microsoft will wipe Sony rootkit

    Well being the broke college student I am, I rip my CDs to my computer and run them to my huge beep stereo system. And I don't really have space or money for a huge beep HDTV so the computer monitor works good for watching movies. There are others that do the same.

    DIY Speakers

    Hey there, I have been doing a lot of research into DIY speakers over the past few months, and I've decided...it's tough. The building part isn't so bad as is that picking out what you want and designing it. The biggest part is, if you want to do it right, and get quality components, it's gonna...

    Which Woofer?

    Yeah I know it's not going to be a perfect solution, but it's a cheap alternative till I finish working on the plans and funds to build my own speakers. I just need something because I'm missing everything from about 600Hz on down in my left channel. The recommended vented box size is just a tad...

    Which Woofer?

    The one's I'm replacing are single coil, so I guess I'll go with the classic, but just out of curiosity, what difference would it make? Would it be harder to drive or would it just sound different than what I'm accustomed to?

    Which Woofer?

    I'm still working on building my own speakers, but in the mean time I've blown the voice coil on the 10" in one of my speakers. I need a cheap 10" woofer to replace both of the woofers. I've narrowed it down to these two... Dayton 10" Classic or Dayton 10" DVC Will the classic work...
