Im a Focal fan, but as others have said, the most important thing is installation. PLEASE put whatever drivers you get in a properly sized sealed enclosure! Im still trying to figure out how the hell to make room in my doors, but Ill get them in an enclosure at some point. The 3-way kp's are a...

I have some leather experience; I have done some hardback books and similar projects. But, I actually want this to look perfect, and seeing as I dont have a sewing machine or a ton of experience, I would rather have it be perfect than spend a bunch on material and maybe have it come out less...

Looking for a good upholstery place that could wrap some plastic pieces (not a main dash) in leather of vinyl. Preferably in the eastern half of the U.S., but ill take any suggestions. Thanks

For all practical purposes, the answer is no. yea you could do the speakers wirelessly, but for the same price you could get some really nice traditional stuff. No TV has built in HDMI streaming capability. Obviously everything still has to be plugged in for power unless you want to fill your...

So, i'm sick of have having shitty sound in my room/dorm, and want to start with 2 bookshelf type units. For the time being, the source will be my computer and ill use the amp from my old klipsch promedia 2.1 system (55w per channel) until I step it up. Thus, the speakers may just be...

Sounds good. I am down in the area from time to time. If I come down in the next month or so, would it be alright if I just picked it up (would let you know weeks or so ahead of time). Thanks

is shipping still about $50 if its just coming to birmingham? (35213?) And I want to know about the shelf life as well. Thanks

That is a good idea. Unfortunately since you would have to layer it in that order, it would be a giant pita if you every had to take any out...lol

Finally, I was beginning to think I would never see anything but giant ported boxes, lol.

For those of you who are doing extreme dampening installs (more than 1 layer in most places): IMHO, it would be pretty cost effective without sacrificing much if any dampening efficiency to use a base layer of the good stuff (damplifier pro, etc...) and use raamat for any additional layers.

Kenwood Excelon KDC-X991 here. Absolutely love it.

Rudy: what do you think of the dense rubberized carpet runner? Obviously it doesnt replace butyl mat, but it might work great as a top layer on flat surfaces (floor, etc...). It is closed cell and the closest thing I can equate the density to is the real tempur-pedic memory foam pillows and...

It isnt uncommon to get a refund if a product doesnt do what it is advertised to....

Something else I have used that is very effective, while a little unconventional, is rubber carpet runner. Im not talking about your normal carpet runner with holes in it. There is a kind that is a solid VERY dense rubbery foam material. The problem is the only time I have seen it (I bought the...

just so you know, I read the warranty and there were two ambiguities that might (probably) be intentional. 1) It isnt totally clear whether that will cover it falling off. 2) They wont give you a refund, just provide you with replacement material.
