    Where I'm at Today After several years of enjoying a Magnavox console (185 amp with original Collaro record changer) that several of you helped me get working I'm ready to upgrade.

    Realistic T-100 econowave

    So I picked up a pair of Realistic T-100 free from a yard sale a couple of years ago. The cabinets look great, although they could use a light sanding and restain. The woofers and tweeters are in great shape and all are working, but they are just underwhelming, so I want to make an econowave...

    Connecting Two JBL Subwoofers and Two Studio Monitors to Focusrite Amp

    I have two JBL Studio Monitor MKII and two JBL LSR310S. Hooking it in was a-lot less confusing than I had made it in my head. I separated the sub and the monitors. I plugged the right Studio monitor in to the right subwoofer via XLR cable (Balanced) and then from the right subwoofer I used a TRS...
