USING SPEAKER TECHNOLOGY TO KICK OPEN DOORS
I think the idea here is that the equal and opposite force is the door giving way. I can certainly imagine using such a device on a solid concrete wall would give a similar effect as not holding onto a baseball bat hard enough. Boing! Try to think... 
Case of the dissapearing Bass
I didn't get a chance to read all of the above comments but I will tell you to check the phase. Use a nine volt battery and a small wire lead, touch the leads to the speaker wire at your amp (disconnect them from the amp first!). The positive lead... 
Is the marantz SR7007 a good receiver?
I have to say that I am hard pressed to remember any thing named Marantz that I didn't like. I use a Pioneer Elite SC-61 in my office and the spec sheets are almost identical, as far as what you listed anyway. I'm positive the Marantz has better t... 
Shelf for VPI scout
I read a book on acoustics a long time ago that listed the properties of various woods, drywall, tile, insulation, and many more that I can't recall. Although I can't remember the name of the book I'm sure you could find something similar at your ... 
Best sub for the money
A very tricky question as I don't know your tastes. I've got a customer in South Africa that hand builds Subs for SPL & SQ car audio competitions and, given his economy, he may be able to beat any price you could find. But could you trust him?... 
Worth repairing JBL L100t3 speakers?
If the sound quality of those drivers were worth it before they stopped working, then I would say yes. And as far as finding a suitable replacement, well that's easy. Even if you can't come by the originals or new surrounds for them. Just measure ... 
USING SPEAKER TECHNOLOGY TO KICK OPEN DOORS
Thank you all for your comments, I honestly expected them to be much worse than they are.......I have to say that the rail gun is part inspiration for this idea. Just cap off the ends. I also like the idea of using a pressure switch to eliminate t... 
Sealed, Ported, or Passive Radiators?
01-27-13: Rower30, Actually I have all my subs stacked into a small 10 foot by 6 foot area, I was aware that using so many subs in a system can cause a lot of phase issues. So I tried to keep everything on a wall radiating together, along with adj... 
Sealed, Ported, or Passive Radiators?
01-10-13: Rower30, I agree that some of my sustained SPL levels are certainly high enough. I am quite aware that my tastes are off pace with the normal:-) And definitely agree that it is very difficult to get everybody to cooperate, all the differ... 
Does my acoustic ideology make me an outcast?
First of all, thank you all for comments, it's been a long time since I've been able to talk to any one that even had a clue about what I was saying......01-09-13: Mapman, "Made In The U.S.A." is a thought I just had, as I was just finishing up so... 
Sealed, Ported, or Passive Radiators?
01-06-13: Rower30, I agree with your take on how passives sound and work, we just have a difference in opinion about how much bandwidth should be available from a system. To be taken to the literal edge would mean constructing an I.E.D. series of ... 
Has anyone experianced Synesthesia?
01-04-13: Peter_s, There is only one way I know how to "sell your soul" while keeping your dignity intact. You have to do it for reasons that are much more noble than personal profit. Perhaps I thought that my children's future was more important ... 
Does my acoustic ideology make me an outcast?
01-03-13: Mapman, Finally someone who gets it! What people should be paying for is skill not brand names, and maybe, just maybe, that can make "Made in the U.S.A." great again.01-04-13: Antigrunge, I've heard a few setups that acted as you said "l... 
Sealed, Ported, or Passive Radiators?
01-04-13: Mapman, I used to religiously use ported subs as well and for a long time couldn't be talked out of it. Then I was shown an extremely large transmission line system and liked that even better. But as far as performance in a variety of si... 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
It certainly has the electrical power required for a good SPL competition vehicle.:-)Andrew Synesthesia Studios
