Best audio prank ideas
It is highly unlikely I would ever do this.  I mostly understand it to be not cool in a house that I wouldn't be in.  I think I play this prank on a friend that occasionally crashes out on my couch. I am trying to write a story about a new tenant... 
How many subs?
I now have only 1 sub. No delays. No DSP. It is in the front left corner and 180 degrees out of phase. It uses Rel’s high level input from both L and R. I found whatever I did, multiple subs interfered with the sound from the main speakers. It s... 
What has been a favourite moment in Audio?
I have another moment.  It might take longer to get there than necessary. About 7 years ago, I hadn't had much of any hifi for 15 years.  On this part of the journey I started with an RME ADI2 DAC and a B&W Zeppelin - I think there have been ...

@jonwolfpell bursting into flames is funnier than a bunny de-hatted.  Both together would be wonderful.  If I saw a bunny's hat blown off (not Hugh's type of bunny, nor a rabbit) from a a sub, and the whole lot burst into flames, I would consider ... 
What has been a favourite moment in Audio?
@dekay I like.  Possibly a joke about garbage in, garbage out.  Good use of a wheelie bin.  How do I post an image of the de-hatting?  Does it need to link to where it is already online?  It seems that way.

@thecarpathian My bad.  That is funny!  Cheers dekay.  Not those kinds of bunnies.  But I reckon you could blow the hat off one of those bunnies with the correctly calibrated sub.  We need a different funny story.  We have all the imagery required... 
What has been a favourite moment in Audio?
@dekay (that feature hadn't worked before) I might be embarrassed to not know who Hugh is.  I have a cousin named Hugh.  I will assume it isn't him and I have not talked about this with him.  He has nothing to say about it.  
How many subs?
@m-db  the drive rack was not used for purpose, it was what it could do.  I wanted a balanced product that could give delays up to 10 ms (not including latency).  When the Acoustic Engineer said 3 ms delay there and 9 ms I got someone else to prog... 
How many subs?
Everyone will be pleased that the experimentation with delays for subs 2 and 3 is done and it is a fail.  It takes a few sessions and many tweaks of levels to hear what is happening.  To get the sound so subs 2 and 3 don't noticeably interfere wit... 
How many subs?
@jayctoy any number of subs is good - I just got the 3 sub system going with some outrageous hardware. It sounds fantastic.  Not the lowest bass - I don't want that (yet). Delays with a Drive Rack. Low pass filter for the right subs with a CR1 - ... 
How many subs?
@m-db The Rel subs have to be on the floor - another disadvantage.  I tried platforms and it really sounded much worse. Subs that can be decoupled from the floor, with proper bass extension, and ability to knock some lowest frequencies out of th... 
How many subs?
Cheers everyone. Everyone knows I'm going to still give the delays another go - even just to better understand I don't like it. From my engineer: "The method I used for setting up the three subs wasn’t with all subs at the same loudness (in my ... 
How many subs?
Thankyou m-db I have a friend who is bemused about my attempts. He reckons he’ll come round and fix it without using delays, and with just 1 sub. I know people are saying use 4 - but if it sounds artificial and I don’t like it, and I am determin... 
How many subs?
I can easily change it from L & R to all subs to L to the left sub and R to the right sub(s) by disconnecting a wire and removing a cable - once the driverack can accept L and R and make it mono.  I could buy a Radial Mix, but as I just sold 2... 
How many subs?
I have gotten further. Front left - Rel high input using L and R as the main sub with stand speakers full-range - as I said I would do. The sub against the right wall (I think 3 ms delay), being nearly opposite the main speakers wasn’t doing it f...
