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 the DIY front for a sub mainly. Can you help a brotha out?
I want some deep and very present bass!
