  1. Then I'd take the sub back, assuming it's new. Sounds like a bad sub. Typed on a tiny keyboard, excuse any grammatical errors.
  2. Do you have the sub hooked up to the sub out? Where's the gain nob set to? Crossover? Could be several different things. Could also be that you got a defective sub, it happens. Typed on a tiny keyboard, excuse any grammatical errors.
  3. Godzilla is pretty good. It's filtered and clips, but sounds pretty good. It's a fun one to throw on. I guess I should give Looper a go; own it but I've not watched it since my dad and I saw it in the theater.
  4. Looks great Scrappy. I'm planning to replace my front three with 1299s and volt 8s for the back 4. How hard was it to learn how to veneer? Looks like you've been doing it for awhile.
  5. Rock Chalk all the way to the Championship!!!
  6. Man, I'd love to have a third......but you're over 10hrs away. I'll think about it. I'm selling my Denon, decided to go back to separates. Never mind, just measured my door to the basement, 31.5". No way it's going down there. Crap!! Sorry man. GLWS, I love mine. Great sub for the cost.
  7. I'd start with 20hz, or higher if you'd prefer. Typed on a tiny keyboard, excuse any grammatical errors.
  8. I'd do it without the sub hooked up. Typed on a tiny keyboard, excuse any grammatical errors.
  9. Turn the dial to volts or amps, put the leads to their corresponding + - on the amp and measure how much the amp is sending out. If you start the volume low, you might just be able to skip this step. I did this while breaking I'm my driver before I built me THT, haven't used mine since. Lol Typed on a tiny keyboard, excuse any grammatical errors.
  10. Without a multimeter to measure voltage going to the driver you have to be careful. Run speaker wire to the leads and run a 20hz tone to it. Gently increase the volume. See if it makes the same sounds. Then, try a lower tone. Your just trying to reproduce the sound in free air. Typed on a tiny keyboard, excuse any grammatical errors.
  11. How low? That driver doesn't go terribly low. Might be a bad driver. Best way to know that is to test it in free air. Should do that with all drivers before hand.
  12. Glad you like it and welcome to the horn club. They're very unique, and incredibly efficient. Love mine and wouldn't change them. In a concrete basement, they're untouchable by any sealed sub....for the cost.
  13. Eli's just pissed that no matter how many SB rings he has, he will never be as great as a quarterback as his older brother. Don't like Eli, never have. I'm happy for Peyton.
  14. Just finished Sicario....holy crap. So good; intense movie, intense score.
  15. Youth that's a great looking cabinet. Wake makes some beautiful stuff. Glad he's feeling so much better!!
  16. They're both good; but SOC was very well done. It has been a good couple of weeks for releases, with The Martian, Everest, and Straight Outta Compton. Everest has some really solid bass, nothing ULF, but bass that sounds really good. I actually ordered "Into Thin Air", one of the many books written about what happened on Everest in 1996. Typed on a tiny keyboard, excuse any grammatical errors.
  17. Yeah. The Martian is great. The book is better, but most books are.Typed on a tiny keyboard, excuse any grammatical errors.
  18. I wish I could experiment with one sub behind me but my sweet spot is right up against the back wall. Putting subs laterally on either side of the listening position fails miserably in this room but the good news is that the whole front soundstage works well for the subs and the front right corner clearly gets the bests results.....and works very, very well I might add. That's a perfect reason. [emoji2] Typed on a tiny keyboard, excuse any grammatical errors.
  19. Any reason why you co-located vs separating? I have two THTs also, and I've attached my measurement of the front, rear and both. Blue is front, red is rear and green is both. Hard to argue the benefits of front and rear.
  20. Watched Everest and Straight Outta Compton yesterday. Liked Everest more than I thought I would, loved SOC. Brought back so many memories. Really recommend it.
  21. What subs are you referring to here? Just curious. The debate on weather a sealed sub is "quicker" than its ported counterpart is all BS. Are you really trying to tell me that your sealed sub is faster and sound better than say a Rythmik FV15HP? Or, are you saying an SVS PB13 Ultra is slower and sloppier? I won't even list subs from PSA, Reaction, and JTR. Sealed subs are no quicker than a well designed ported. You might not like port chuffing....but as far as speed and accuracy is concerned, there is no difference.As for a horn - which in NOT a ported sub, lower distortion and effortless bass. At the same db a horn will be using less watts, and the cone will be moving less. For horns you just need room and the patience to build one. Look at the one Jason is building for himself. I'm betting it doesn't take up that much more floor space as your sealed. So, you can have horns fit into a confined space. If you wan midbass, it's hard to beat a horn with just a single sealed. There are people that like the port better than sealed and then there are people that like sealed over port. I prefer a sealed sub. I looked at the prices of the 2 subs your quote and they are much more expensive than a diy sealed system. Personally I would much prefer a horn sub but size restraints keep me from building one. That and I really see no need for me to do so. Music lives in the mid range. If you want room shaking bass I see no problem with seeking it. You totally missed my point. My point was that there is NO difference in SQ or SPEED between ported and sealed. But, you managed to gloss right over that. Any sub you buy outside of DIY will be more expensive. But there are lots of ported subs that you can build that would be equal to your sealed. You prefer sealed, fine. My point isn't to get you to build a ported sub or a horn; but, to correct your assumptions that a sealed is faster and more accurate than ported. It isn't. Period. This has been proven time and time again. Typed on a tiny keyboard, excuse any grammatical errors.

  23. Walnut. But I am a bit jaded. My house is littered with golden oak. We are systematically replacing and painting it. Typed on a tiny keyboard, excuse any grammatical errors.
  24. Looks great Jason!! Really like the legs on it. Typed on a tiny keyboard, excuse any grammatical errors.
