CECAA850

I'd get the 980H for 169.99 and call it a day. It'll do 780p.

Look for a used SUB-12.

Have a safe trip. Good to see another klipsch fanatic in the Lone Star State.

I don't know what Gary wants for his but there's one on a-gon for $650.00. I would however MUCH rather buy from a forum member.

My buddy Adolph's pic is in my avatar. We had to put him down 2 years ago due to bone cancer. I still think about him every day.

This might work.

This was my attempt at creative writing where the water was anologus to ammunition and the pump to a gun. Sorry if this didn't come accross that way. You're much more of a creative writer than I am a creative reader[Y]

What a riot. I wonder what he used for an air supply.

Was there a connection between the house well and lack of primers and I just missed it? Miscellaneous grievances[*-)]

That's easy.......0. Millionares.........0 I'm pretty sure that I know a couple of thousandares though.

Paul McCartney, Bill Gates, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods???????

MY 3000'TH POST!!! Sorry, couldn't help it.

4 drivers and a $400.00 amp will blow your mind. Holler if you have any questions. And now back to our regulary scheduled thread..................................... Carl

Dtel, I would highly recomend THESE. There's no need to worry about the driver size if you build a manifold like the ones pictured HERE. I personally would go with 18"s for most all applications. This SITE can explain IB's better than I ever could.

Dtel, when bass is crossed over at a low enough point, you can't tell where it's coming from. If you didn't know I had subwoofer drivers next to my ceiling, you'd swear that the bass was coming from my mains. Before you settle on where to install your IB, you need to take a conventional sub and put it where you think you want your IB and listen to it. If you can blend it with your mains at that location, the IB will blend as well. It's an important step, because once you install your IB, they're not easily moved. Once it's installed, you'll never go back to a conventional sub. I had subs from Infinity, Klipsch and SVS before I built my IB. I have no desire to upgrade my anymore.

Thankfully I don't need one, but that's a great gesture Brac.

Yes and no. The firewall we have here at work will not let me access photobucket. To see it, go to photobucket.com. Put cecaa850 in the search box. It will ask you if you want to look at the photo albums of cecaa850, or something like that. Click yes to access my albums and look around. Most of the build pics were taken with a disposable camera nad then scanned, so the image quality isn't very good, but you get the idea. The 18" drivers were made by Ascendant audio, but the drivers of choice nowadays are made by Ficaraudio. Edit, there's a couple pics at the IB website. Scroll down the page to the pics of Carl P's build. Mine is an array build, but the manifold style gives better vibration cancellation. BTW, I've measured 110 dB at 10Hz where I sit, which is 14' away from the sub. My wife hates when I do that as all the windows in the house flex so bad with the pulsations that she thinks they're going to break. http://home.comcast.net/~infinitelybaffled/page3IB-Gallery3.html

If you're wanting to go really LOW, you might want to look at building an IB (Infinite Baffle) subwoofer. You'll have usable output down into the single digits. If you want to hear one, I'm less than 2 hours from you. For about $1200.00 (drivers and amp) you'll have something that will outperform virtually anything that's commercially available. They also won't take up any floorspace in your room. There's also no need to mess with box sizing or port calculations.

Lets start with the basics. Double check the wiring from your receiver (amp) to the speaker terminals. Be sure that the + on the receiver is connected to the + on the speaker. If the + and - wires are crossed then your speakers are out of phase and the bass from one will cancel the bass from the other one out. Let us know what you find.

Good thought. The drivers may be wired out of phase also. Do you have a disc like Avia that you can check phase with?

Gotta love new toys. Looks great.

I believe that the front panel where the drivers mount is MDF painted black. I wouldn't try gluing it back together. I'd have a new one made or have the shipping co. get you a new cabinet.

You haven't brought it home yet?
