I like the old look better ... but I could get used to the new looked real quick, because I'm sure they perform just as well as the old ones. - Steve

Thanks for the link. - Steve

I've got an old school record player, Sony 100 disc changer, an old AKAI amp (from what, the '70's?), and a pair of JBL 3-ways. It sucks. So ... as some of you know, I do fine wood working in my spare time (coffee tables, china cabinets, cigar boxes, gun cabinets, pens, bowls, anything out of wood). I don't need another table in my home. What I do need, are some towers and subwoofer enclosure so I can eventually throw in some speakers and my uberwoofer. I'd love to make some enclosures out of a nice mahogany, eastern maple, oak, ash, anything really. I don't know chit all about HT. So I have to break it down real simple so I can understand it. I was thinking about two tall side towers, and center enclosure (center channel?), and then the subwoofer enclosure. Suggest anything else? I don't know how many speakers and what size to put in each tower ... I've seen between 2-6 mids in each tower ... 6 won't work, since I really don't want to spend a lot of money later on plugging speakers in them. So I was thinking perhaps a mid or two (5.25", 6.5", 8"?) in each tall tower, along with a single tweeter in each. Perhaps go with a 6.5, 5.25 or 4, and a tweet in each? I don't know, I'm looking for suggestions here. Airspace of the towers needs to be decided. I'd rather make them big because I can always add material to the inside of them later on depending on the speakers I choose. As you can tell, I'm only in the beginning stages here. I'd just like to build some nice towers and sub enclosure to get a head start on this. Sorry for the lengthy post, hard for me to organize my thoughts. All suggestions welcome - just keep it simple please. - Steve

I've already built a deck And a shed for that matter. Thanks for the ideas though, I will think about a new shed. I think I'm going to go fine woodwork route, interior as well. - Steve

Review review review. Now. Be interesting to hear your opinion after a few days of listening. And what your wife thinks - get her opinion as well. - Steve

Awesome As I mentioned before I used two 9515's with two VR2000D's in 14 cubes. I think you'll enjoy it - Steve

Low end wall shaking duties would be taken care of by the Uberwoofer - Steve

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa ... You're not 16. You didn't just get your license. You know what you're talking about; and you didn't spend your parents money. Why the heck do you have one of those ? Enjoy it, Kent. I think you might like the XBL2. - Steve

What are you talkin' about? I never had it to begin with - Steve

Duh ... gotta share the chit out of the person beside you. I think I'm guilty of wanting to build something cool ... and something I don't have is a HT setup. Unless you have some other briliant idea for something I could make out of wood that I don't already have - Steve

I won't watch movies through it ... well, maybe the odd one or two. It'll just mainly be for music purposes. And video games - Steve

un towsund powst eh!

What's up? Good, you? Not much, yourself? Oh not bad. What's going on? Doing pretty good, you? Not a whole lot. So what's up for tonight? I'm alright thanks, you? Just chillin.

Wonder if it's possible to use the crossovers out of the JBL three ways I have ... probably not though, unless you used the exact same speakers. Crossovers = teh ghey. Honestly ... just thinking about the crossovers pisses me off. I think I'd be happy with just two main towers and my subwoofer, to be honest. Surround, eh ... yeah it's cool ... and I may as well do it right the first time. I got to thinking, "Why do I want to do a HT setup?" ... my answer ... I just really want to construct a few nice pieces of fine woodworking without making another goddamn desk or table. I really don't care about filling them with speakers now, that'll come in the summer or later on. My thought process is all over the map. - Steve

Honestly it seems like that is the only productive thing to do over there now. And I don't know just how productive that is ... more enjoyable for me, anyways. - Steve

What is the majority ... user abuse (big time abuse) or just a common manufac. defect? Or is it pretty evenly split? - Steve

Yeah, no kidding. While their subs are built to take abuse (or so it seems), I'm sure someone will find a way to blow one up. - Stev

Talk to Laine about it ... I questioned the choice of certain cone materials and he explained it quite well. If I took the uberwoofer and changed the current cone out for a poly or paper or titanium cone with the same Mms and all, I don't think I'd notice the difference. If the rest of the driver is designed properly, cone material shouldn't be a huge factor ... I'm not 100% sure, so don't listen to me. I think it's a bigger factor with midranges than subs. As long as it's stiff enough I guess. Could take to Mike (SoundSplinter) about it too ... since I'm sure he had his reasoning behind choosing the cone he did. EDIT ~ Just found this. - Steve

Spam is good for you ... builds character. - Steve

That sucks man - hope it heals well. You should get some mad old school sideburns goin' there - Steve

I gotta push this stuff throughout Canada. Future projects require money, and sales make money. And I'm interested in future projects - Steve

W6 or W6v2's? Should be a good one. - Steve

All sixty million pages of them.

Drag sucks.

Oh yeah, they used to get a little toasty ... - Steve
