  1. He's talking about the 1-5 farad capacitors used by car auidophools to "charge up" their system. They don't do jack; they're eye candy that depletes with the first big bass hit & the alternator is scrambling to catch up & refill the cap. You don't need it.'

    As far as the filler (not usually foam, but fiberfill) is concerned, it depends on the specs for your sub. Some DIY subs that are ported don't use any; others do. What did the plans call for? I find it's usually only used with sealed type subs.....

  2. I am still wondereing if I should upgrade me receiver to the Onkyo 906 next or get the SVS ultra sub to add in my system. I am trying to figure out which one is going to give me a bigger benefit? Any Ideas

    Sounds to me like you don't need the 906. If you plan on watching alot of movies and money isn't an issue (which it sounds to me is not), I would go for the PB13-Ultra.

    DEFINITELY go with the PB-13 Ultra; it will add a new dimension to your sound.

  3. Amplifier caps usually have a life span of @ 20 years give or take. When they start to go, the first obvious sign is "bulging" of the cap. A second sign is a crackly, popcorn sound on high impact sounds like snare drum shots or the like. All caps dry out over time & need to be replaced. Ironically, if a unit is in storage for a number of years, the caps can dry out prematurely from not being charged up..

  4. I had an "old school" pair of MTX Gold 10" subs in my vehicle for years and the dust caps started doing the same thing. I thought I'd blown a speaker. When I realized what the problem was, I used a little "Gorilla Glue" (awesome stuff) I glued them back down carefully. They worked like a champ for years afterward~

  5. I like Dr. Whos first suggestion because it's very similar to what I did. I have similar dimensions of 12.5' wide by 24' long with an adjoining 16' long garage. You're going to want to spread those RF-7's as far apart as possible so that bookcase will have to be moved. I have a massive subwoofer so my placement options were very limited and I tend to like my sub drivers in line with the front stage. People have commented (online) about the sub and rack blocking my mains/center but I think it just looks that way, I get really good performance out of my speakers and the 2500 watts (potential) that is on tap. My couch positioning is flexible too, many positions available in under a minute (sliders on couches).
