Another subwoofer GTG, Southern style - Page 2

The phono pre amp didn't work either. It was cleaner, but still sounded dirty. It's got the RIAA eq built into it. Like I said, I'll probably just need to get a direct box or a feedback destroyer. I've ran out of home remedies. Anyone know of a cheap option that way? Can get a 1124p for $99 new or there is someone on my local craigslist that has one. May go that route. Anyone have one they don't mind parting with cheaply? Don't know anything about direct boxes except the principal of how they work.

Not running a HPF. There are only a couple movies that I have that have substantial bass below my tuning freq. I don't watch movies very loud so I'm not very worried.

Looking at the 18th. Trying to get the following Sunday off work to recover. Have a feeling that after repeatedly lifting couple hundred pound subs might get me a bit tired.

This is the same room I usually listen in. It was a two car garage that we finished into a bonus room when we moved in about three years ago. Will try to get some pics of the room to post. I am not a camera person at all. I have an old 3 MP camera that's pictures are not that great. Will post some tonight.

A little worried. I am a little out of sorts for a southerner in that I am a huge notre dame fan. This is the dominating theme in the room.

I've got REW but haven't tried running it ever. Might try giving it a shot this weekend if I can get my amp working right. Since my sub is so large my wife has had a bit of WAF issues with the sub. It's sitting directly behind my sofa now and, while it gives the shaking very nicely, it lacks in overall response. It's just hard to find the most optimal spot for such a large sub. And it's not nearly as large as some of the subs you guys have. We've only re-made this room into a game room in the past month or so. Need to get around and do some floor crawling to see if I can find the best spot. I can have all that done by the time of the meet.

When I post the pics this afternoon I will try to have a date set and update the first post. Then we'll start a list of who's coming for sure and what they're bringing. Was thinking to try to limit to the first 10-15 or so people. Sound like a good number? Don't want to be overloaded with subs either, but I think we'd be able to start early and finish late if needs be.

Yeah, unfortunately I had to start working Sundays again. I'm in government work (Police, Fire and Medical 911 dispatch trainer in Nashville) and we do shift work. We're always open. Someone with a bit more time than me came to my shift and it took me off of Sat/Sun off and got bumped back to Fri/Sat. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. Sundays are a lot slower than the rest of the week. The most of the calls involve people getting into the spirit of the lord a bit too heavily and needing an ambulance after their experience.

Sorry guys for not posting anything tonight. Had to work sixteen hours today and I am beat. Had some computer problems at work and they needed some extra people so I gave in at the last minute. We will have a date set by tomorrow guaranteed.

Did get a call from a guy who has an unused but open box feedback destroyer. $50 is what he is asking. Good price?

Official Date set for April 18th. Will discuss starting time, but I'm always up early so whenever people want to show up will probably be fine. I'm also looking for people who are definite on attending and I'll start a list of who's coming and what they're bringing. Will post that on the first post of the thread and will PM those who are coming with my address and telephone #. Be sure to post early because I am going to limit the amount of attendees.

Look forward to hearing from everyone coming.

Notre Dame is my team of all teams for football, but MTSU is a close second. My room has a mix of ND-MT-Titans stuff.

WKU got one of Notre Dame's backup QB's a couple years back. Think he was a JR or SR this past year. David Wolke. He was was listed as living about 10 minutes from my place in Smyrna. He also lived in MT Juliet where I went to high school. They have the state high school tournament going on there now. Makes traffic by the college horrible.

It looks like a REALLY expensive pro sub. Check it out here.
For the pro market it looks pretty nice. Wonder about it's cost/performance ratio.

I would imagine it wouldn't be that expensive to ship. I can get a CRT projector shipped from canada for ~$250. This would probably be cheaper. Problem would be getting it without a doubt in time.

While I'd love to have that sub here to have a listen, I don't want to have people feeling like they need to pitch in with shipping something like that. If someone wants to, I have no problem with it, but I know I won't have the extra cash for something like that. Times are tight and I got cables and BBQ fixin's to purchase.

Good deal. I'll pencil you in and send you PM with info. I'd like to hear that ED. Haven't heard a shiva either. Extra amps I'm sure wouldn't hurt to have here. Don't know if you two and Ricci will hook up or not, but he's bringing a lot of stuff I think. Space may be an issue for transport.

I have no comment. I'll leave to that Ricci probably. He's heard your stuff and can probably make a better decision than me. I'm sure any of your offerings will be enjoyed.


Here's a couple pics of the room. I can tell I need to clean the lens on this particular POS model of camera.

So ricci I guess I can throw you down in the definitely coming category. Will PM you after I get my kids off to school.

I don't have a 220 line in the room, but the room is right next to my laundry room. If needs be we could unhook the dryer I guess and run something into the room.

That's with the enclosure is a good idea. I wish I had a wealth of enclosures laying around but I don't.

Hoping the weather is better than it was this weekend. Ground will be soaked for a week with all this rain we got.

Picked up a new 100 ft extension cord thanks to my dog eating my other one. I believe that will be long enough to do some outside testing.

Ricci, I'm gonna steal your list of subs from HT shack and throw that into the first post of the thread on both forums. We'll add from there when others confirm.

I'm running without a HPF right now. If no one does have filtering available we'll steer clear of anything that's really low. We won't throw WOTW at reference levels at it.
