  1. There are drink holders in each arm rest, so one has a drink and one a remote in each chair, until I get another all in one programmable one.
  2. It is between the bottom of the screen and the equipment lights.
  3. True, I did have a programmable Logitech but my grandson stepped on it and broke the screen. Researching what to buy next.
  4. Time for some John Wick 2. The speakers are on either side of the screen. They blend into the darkness but there is no issue hearing them.

    Yeppers, double hump 202. I wasn't going for all out performance but wanted a solid small block for what was at the time my daily driver.

    My Grandfather purchased this car new in December of 1954. I have owned it since 1984. Here is a picture of my son taking possession a few weeks ago. Four generations - one car - a million memories.
  8. Yes, I have done that before. I was trying something different. Cooked ears in a pan of water first, then on the grill just long enough to add some smoke and char.
  9. Yes, all drivers and crossovers are factory stock.
  10. I took the speakers to a meeting of the River City Audio Society yesterday. Everyone LOVED them. It was held in our local audio/video dealer's meeting room. The sales manager came in for a listen and said he needed to get a pair in the store. They are a Klipsch dealer.
  11. Wow, after a run like that, I would be drenched in sweat and looking like how I felt --- old. Seriously, great pic and cute kid.
  12. PM me if your customer would be interested in a Trinaural Processor. I have one that I got direct from James Bongiorno before he died. You may also contact them through their website to purchase one through a distributer. SST is now owned and operated by Wyred4Sound.
  13. I got it off Ebay. These were 16" x 96", so I could use one sheet to cover one speaker and the grain would be continuous across the entire speaker. I bought an extra sheet to cut the banding for the front edge of the speakers. It was only $50 a sheet, as it was left over from a large job they had done. Good luck on the Heresy speakers. They should be fairly easy to do and not require a lot of veneer.
  14. If you would like to see more of the build, I have put up a web page. http://wardsweb.org/audio/KlipschReplica/
  15. Once the cut out is done, you can remove the driver and clean it if necessary.
  16. Personally I wouldn't use a pattern. Just draw some lines with a straight edge and a pencil on the back of the cabinets. NOTE: if you're going with the cutout like the picture I posted, you will be cutting twice. First for the inner circles that will be cut through and the outer circle that is only half depth, leaving a lip for your panel to rest on.
  17. The picture is just something I grabbed off the interwebs, as a reference. Your opening will be rectangular, so you can get at the screws and tilt the woofer to get it out.
  18. You can cut an access like this one using just a straight piece of wood with a couple clamps or finishing nails. Lay your piece of wood as a straight edge that the router base will ride against. This means the distance from the cutting bit to the edge of the tool is where the straight edge is. It can be clamped in place or nailed in place. Just make sure the nails are small and you don't fully nail them in. They are just to hold it long enough to make the cut and then be removed. You will be making one cut at a time. Another option would be to use a circular saw and make two passes all the way across the cabinet above and below the woofer. You are going to make a panel that runs all the way across the back of the cabinet, using the side panels as your supports and where the panel will screw in. An alternative would be to router this panel out and only cut half the depth on the side panels so you can make a dado joint on the ends. I hope this make sense. If you would like to discuss further, message me with your phone number.

    I will just say, "There will always be someone with more and someone with less: education, life expectancy, money, stuff. Serenity comes not from what you have, but knowing what you can live without."
