    Question about use of a Passive Radiator

    I have an open hole in speaker cabinets that I want to use as two way speakers and I thought about putting 4" PR's in them to fill the holes where the mid range speakers used to be. I read that a PR should be equal to or larger than the woofer. So is putting a 4" PR in a cabinet that has a 8"...

    Use an EQ with Onkyo AVR with no tape monitor?

    I have an Onkyo AVR that has no Tape 2 and I'm wondering if I can still use an EQ with it. Not sure if the Tape channels on it are an actual loop (I doubt it). If Tape is not a loop and can't be used, would I be stuck with being able to EQ one source only rather than all of them? AVR...

    Plastic Faceplate Cleaning: What's best?

    I have some AV components I'd like to clean the plastic faceplates on and I'm wondering what would be best to use. I'm concerned with the display areas specifically because from past experience, I've noticed it doesn't take much to get them scuffed up or hazed and if you use the wrong cloth or...

    TV Coaxial Out to AVR Issue

    I'm noticing with using the Coaxial Optical out on my TV to my Onkyo receiver a brief cut in sound at times and when this happens I see a PCM indicator flash on the front panel of my receiver.

I tossed it aside and bought the one I'm using now and after watching some youtube videos and some discussion about it with @swechsler I decided to try to see if I can get it going before I give up...

    Sub enclosure question

    I have a small 6.5" speaker and I mounted it in a bookshelf speaker cabinet. I've since noticed when the speaker is in use, air is pushing out of the seams of the cabinet. Should I take the back off and glue the seams and put some weatherstripping around the edge where the back sits against to...

    Power Supply suggestions for TPA3116

    Not long ago, I purchased my TPA3116 board from Amazon and I'm trying to find a power supply that would be best for it. I tried using a 12v wall wart with it to begin with and it wasn't enough power. I've also tried a power supply from a desktop pc and that did nothing. I'm currently using a 19v...

    Destop PC power supply for 12v stereo?

    Anyone ever used a desktop PC power supply to power 12v units such as car stereos, amps, CB radio, Scanner ect? I'm wondering if it's as simple as grounding the green wire in the ATX plug to make the power supply work when switched on and using a ground wire and 12v+ to power 12v equipment.

    What did you do with AV gear today?

    Thinking it would be nice to see what members are doing with Home Theater systems, and possibly gain useful information from it. I replaced some standard speaker wires with this 16/2 shielded wire.

    I purchased a bluetooth transmitter with the thought of sending audio signal from my receiver to a small 6w powered bluetooth speaker at the rear of the room for some clarity and dialogue while using my 5.1 receiver while watching movies. Scrapped that idea when I noticed the audio on the...
