| Please Help: High-End car audio I should add that I am 32 years old and it is not a "thumping" system, just good quality sound at HIGH volume..... | |
| Best Tuner under 500? Yamaha TX-950. It is discontinuted, but it is well known for being one of the best. You can still find lightly used ones for what they used to sell for new - $399. It gives you great control over pulling in weak stations. And the strong ones sound... | |
| Please Help: High-End car audio Personally I love my Pioneer head unit. It is a single CD player, and I run my front speakers (5 1/4" infinity Kappa 2-ways) off the head unit power. I run a pair of Infinity Kappa 6X9 (3-way) off of bridged alpine amps (100 wpc out of one amp to ... | |
| Sunfire tube Preamp owners please read It was probably a picture taken with lower light and a slow shutter speed. That could account for the tubes appearing extra bright. I am getting one soon, it is bought it just has to show up. I know nothing about tubes, I bought this after hearing... | |
| Bi-Amp success story Whoops, I hit return by accident and published my comments. Oh well it will look like this is a popular thread then I guess. To continue, yes I have no doubt matching my active crossover to the speakers had everything to do with my results. That i... | |
| Bi-Amp success story Garfish-WOW, where do I start? At the beginning I guess. You may have good success with your passive bi-amping, but I would not expect too much. Probably not enough to justify an additional amp purchase. You will get better soundstage as a result ... | |
| How much does your system retail for? I am considering a new thread - Where do you live and when do you go on vacation? ;-) | |
| How much does your system retail for? $11,000+ for my main stereo system. $4000+ for my multi-room system (not counting all the $$ in IR controls for each room). $4500 for my HT (a very small system with a 27" TV in our living room, I will upgrade to about a $10,000 system when our HT... | |
| Bi-wiring mishap You seem like the adventurous type. Have you tried by-passing your system altogether and wiring directly to the 110V outlet? It will blow you away! For a real treat you can try your bi-wire technique and achieve 220V. On a time limited basis of co... | |
| Speaker Fetish I used to keep all my boxes, but they started to give away my stealthy upgrades of my system. A few years ago I said to one of my friends "My wife has no clue how to operate or even identify any of my equipment. I'll bet she would not even notice ... | |
| Speaker wire - equal length or shortest? Thanks for all your comments, this is really a great resource! I swear I don't know anyone within a day's drive that can give me an intelligent answer to any audio question so it is nice to have this. I will try to answer a few of your questions r... | |
| If you Bi-Amp a 4 ohm speaker = Ohms???? Good suggestions, I will check to see if my speakers really require an active crossover or not, but I don't think they do. The reason why I want to use one BEFORE the amp is that I want to reduce the load on the amp by getting rid of the frequenci... | |
| BI-AMP/WIRE basics? INFINITY KAPPA 9 Plato- I think that one of the 12" woofers crosses over at 80hz and the other crosses over at 800hz. But I could be wrong about that. Kappa 6 and Kappa 7 (both 3-driver speakers) crossover at 800hz and 4500hz. The have a simpler system of 10(or 12... | |
| BI-AMP/WIRE basics? INFINITY KAPPA 9 Plato-Thanks for your input. After I posted this question I did some more searching in the archives and Google and I am now a bit better educated on the subject. I think you are 100% correct in your assessment of what would be worth doing or not. ... |
