    New here.....Need some help.

    Hello all. I've been lurking for a bit now and I like all the knowledge that I see here.

    I grew up in electronics stores and my dad has always had some of the nicer equipment for me to toy around with as he was a repairman for a bit, so he always had toys laying around for me to play with.

    Now that I am at the stage of putting my own HT system together, I have spent countless hours reading up on all the equipment out there. My current system is a JBL SCS135 that made the transition with me from my mom's house to my new condo, but I am looking to replace it. For viewing purposes, I invested in the Optoma H31. I got the projector mounted and up and running on Monday and I love it. The only thing that I do not like is the sounds coming from my speakers. I NEED AN UPGRADE!

    Looking for a little assistance with choosing what would work best for me.

    I currently live in a 6 floor condo building. The building has poured concrete floors and walls. The room that I have my HT in is 13.5 by 20. Concrete painted walls and tiled floors. The whole condo is pretty live right now, but I look to control that very shortly with some rugs to breakup all the echo.

    So far, I have come to the conclusion that I want to stay in the "budget" category with this being my first major HT. I have read a lot about what Ed Frias has done with the BIC DV62CLR speakers and I am about 85% sure that will be my front-stage. I am VERY interested in a DIY sub for some good rumble. I listen to music and watch movies equally, so the sub would have to be pretty versatile. 50%music, 50% movies. My rear surrounds are ADS ceiling mounted with directional tweets.

    Looking for some suggestions on a DIY sub mainly. Can you help a brotha out?

    I want some deep and very present bass!

    Check out the DIY forum. There are several threads about DIY subwoofers, including several recent ones based on the SS RL-p15 driver.

      I am looking for some more thump in the theater. Currently have a SVS PCi-25-31. Theater is 22x14x8. It is a dedicated space in the basement. Concrete floors covered with carpet. The use for the sub is HT only. I have a set for Rocket 760s that handle music on their own. Just look for some solid bass...

      Power response, acoustics and how a "flat on axis" design sounds in a room
      by fjhuerta
      Hi all,

      I've been playing around with one of my designs (the Monoliths): a 2.5 way with Peerless 830884 drivers and a SEAS 27TBFC on top. My parents have them, and they asked for a bit more top end sparkle (I assume due to their hearing loss).

      Anyway, after further refining...

      DIY inwall speakers - recommendations?

      Hi everyone,
      This is my first post on an audio forum and although my family thinks I'm an audio nut, relative to the folks on this forum I'm far from that. I'm a DIY guy who is not afraid to go outside the box (imported RHD diesel van I converted to run on veggie oil, have installed all my car...

      by Vincehoffman
      Hi All,

      I'm a long time lurker, very much into quality music reproduction and HT, and was once a DIY speaker builder (in high school!). My reason for this post is the tremendous knowledge base (or is that bass ) found here and that no commercially available product appears to fit the...
