Is there anyway to convert a JL Sub to connect to Main speakers?
Yours are powered subs, Preferably you want to keep the need for low bass out of both your main amp(s) and your main l/r speakers, so neither the amps or the mains try to amplify/reproduce low bass, they both will more easily do a great job for up... 
Wanting to get back into the hobby and want to start with the speakers.
From these models, I think your space is not large, correct?I have never owned flat panels.From your comments, at this point you are amazed by the Magnepans, and now pre-disposed to the clarity of their midrange primarily, and find that missing fr...

Router extender.
my wife’s phone's wifi would not work all the way to verizon’s primary router. I ran ethernet cable as far as was easy to a switch: 4 ports and dual wireless antenna. great signal strength for tablet, laptop, phone wifi. 
Router extender.
can you put that app on a tablet or laptop and use it/leave it on the porch? 
Subwoofers down-firing or side-firing? Why?
I favor a pair of front firing subs located adjacent to the main l/r to create and preserve stereo imaging.Low bass and the overtones of that low bass is directional, so you get stereo bass working with the imaging and phantom center channel creat...

It’s not just inspecting/cleaning them, it is how you get em also. Sometimes I’m careful, sometimes not so much. I’m a listener, not a collector, and never spend a lot individually for used. Buying on Discogs, unseen, I sort by condition, buy new,...
