Remotia

ok im just trying to help, looks i got shot down.. Go ahead a model all you want. I'll stick with real life measurements.

And you guys, in regards to subwoofers specially designed for cars vs home theater.. there is more myth than fact. The soundsplinter drivers are very similar to the ones in SVS subs. JL audio uses the same drivers in their home theater line as their car line... I could give many examples, but It all comes down to how you design the box for your sub.

The one he was talking about has a QTS of 0.219.... thats lower than any aforementioned subwoofer in this thread.

You can use the rsx-4's no problem. It wont hurt them. The 4's do sound better than the 3's, but then again, so do the 5's go with the 5's.

may I add one more suggestion for the woofer. http://www.soundsplinter.com/rlp12_premium_series_12_inch_DIY_subwoofer_information.html

I hate to ask the question, but you're ipods hd may be failing. I'm not sure if apple has a utility to test it, but you could try doing a long format in windows and if that halts, you know there is a problem.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> backup your music obviously.

you can just try the headphone input then you can set the igroove to the lowest volume, then just lower the ipod volume too.

no, you didnt rever to Thiele, Small, and Nousainne , you reverd to winISD which sucks.

I dont care how good that software is, you cant just plug in TS parameters to determine a fq response of a driver. You dont even know to what degree of uncertainty the TS parameters are! Futhermore, they dont tell the whole story. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> This whole thread is asinine, is anyone here even a freaking audio engineer, THOUGHT SO.

imo, get the subs away from the corners and place them right next to each other center below the screen. This does two things. Helps reduce a potential corner loaded frequency peak but more importantly, it will allow the subwoofers to be in phase throughout the entire room without comprising localization of either side of the room.

Yep, this happened to one of my subwoofers, my VC overheated and it scraps on the side of the magnet. This was in conjunctin with the amp blowing too! Talk about overdriving a sub! Lucky for me it was all under warranty (BTW it was NOT a klipsch sub )

2-main ways: too much heat on the vc, which would have been unlikely in your case because you only had it loud for a very short time. or, mechanical damage. The vc slams into he back of the magnet and something gets bend or forces the cone too far forward and tears the suspension or worse, the vc rips right through the cone... thats always funny too.

You can mount the rears into the wall like this: and of course, you can do the same for the fronts and the subs

expect great things from this driver. http://www.tcsounds.com/Images/LM_news.pdf<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Its not offically out, but Eclipse is already adopting the technology and Im damn sure SVS will change at least their Ultra woofers very soon. With the new voice coil the new driver is able to increase the SPL by about 6+ dB while maintaining the same THD - yes, very impresssive.

no DrWho, it would only be a "shockwave" if your subwoofers were moving at about 760 mph at you.... in which case.. get teh **** out the way! http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=speed+of+sound&btnG=Search
