    Crown DCI 2|300 Drivecore Amplifier wiring question.

    Picked up a couple of amplifiers with inputs that challenged me. Had some rca's on hand that have 3 wires but want to change them out with other rca's that only have 2 wires. Is the second diagram telling me to use a wire and jump it to the other side? Attached pictures of current rca's in use...

    Helped with a quilt today.

    The wife asked if I could clear the gear off of a couple tables to work on a quilt. All sewn by hand. Talked her into using dark blue for the backing/bottom. She was going to use red. Helped her spray glue the batting, bottom and top together. She'll be hand stitching the whole thing next.

    10" Driver ID Help

    Would like to ID these to help purchase new surrounds. They were pulled from a pair of KLH 23's along with a pair of Peizo tweeters. Fortunately I found some KLH drivers on Craigslist for the 23's.

    California Audio Labs CD player question

    I've had this CD player for awhile. It has/had an issue where it would start to cut out after playing half way through a CD. Took a look inside today an noticed a capacitor sitting high off of the board. It broke off when I tried to bend it back. Decided to power up the player to see what effect...

    Identify these speakers..... please

    They are Eico's, and can't say I've ever seen Eico speakers before. My guess is that they are HFS-4's.

    Thanks to Baco99!

    A big thank you goes to Brian for selling a Concept knob to me. Brian had responded to another AK member that was looking for parts, and I sent him a request for what I needed. Thanks again for helping a fellow AK member out. Kind regards, Bob/highping

    Highping's Mancave

    Acquired a pair of Kindel PSL-A's a few days ago and had to rearrange my mancave to accommodate them. Not that pulling them up a flight of stairs wasn't tiring in itself. They weigh in at 128lbs a piece! :) Anyhow, I started with an all Carver set up (amp/preamp/cd player) but ran into issues...

    NHT M-20 Control Amplifier/s

    Picked up a pair of NHT M-20 Control Amplifiers. Now, had I known that they were proprietary I would have passed on them. Note the warning on the back :). Decided to hook one of them up to a "junk" driver. Will go out and source some alligator clips with rubber covers if I decide to use the...

    Can anyone tell me what the appropriate replacement part/values would be for this (see picture) capacitor? This is the first time I've replaced a capacitor on "anything".

    What is this doing here?

    Can anyone tell me what the previous owner of this Concept 2.5 was trying to accomplish by putting this (see picture) on the positive speaker terminals? I turned it a little for the second picture, trying to get more of what's printed in the picture/s. Thank you highping/Bob

    Free Score!

    A guy from work goes around and buys out storage units. Every once in awhile he'll give me some gear. Most of the time it's crap that goes straight to recycling. A couple of days ago he said he had a huge amount of gear, and asked if I'd take it. Didn't want any money. Told him I'd give him some...

    I love these guys!

    Was out performing what I hope is my last "mow" of the year today. Moved some branches so I could mow a hard to get spot, and out came this behemoth salamander. Brought him in the house to show to the Mrs, and take some pictures. What a mellow dude! :boring: Anywhooooo, I took him back out, gave...

    1koolcat don't!

    :D Don't hesitate to buy from 1koolcat. Besides demonstrating bomb proof packing skills, he also kept in constant contact during the whole buying/packing/shipping process. Oh, yeah, the price was very reasonable too. This is the kind of seller that makes Bartertown a worry free experience. :thmbsp:

    Praying Mantis

    Growing up in Watertown NY I would see praying mantises along the railroad tracks every summer. Have lived in Western Washington for 46 years, and this is the first praying mantis I've seen.....saw it while mowing the lawn. Snapped a photo when I showed it to the wife. It was the first time...

    Man Cave II

    I had a man cave set up in our downstairs living room. However, I had to relinquish it so the wife could use the room after her surgery. Yesterday I decided to turn one of the upstairs bedrooms into "Man Cave II" :D . Please ignore the wall paper....it....is.....hideous! :D Here's the run down...
