SVS PB16 Ultra vs JL Fathom 113 vs ???
Wow Mr mikelavigne. They make some BIG subs. Nice veneers too. Nice speakers too. jeez. Some were 3 time or more the height of a beagle dog. That is close to 15" x 3.  45" tall or more. I like it.. I liked the dog too, my buddy beagle was named... 
Jordan Jx92 full-range build help
You have one way. I'm just not sure it's a good way. You need to find the specs on the driver or have them tested. THEN you know if the cabinets are big enough (you can always take up the volume). If they are not, you need to address that.  BTW s... 
SVS PB16 Ultra vs JL Fathom 113 vs ???
Sound quality it's gonna take more than one or at least a single 6 foot column. 3 1000.00 or 4 750.00 subs if you really want to THUMP! Just make sure you can decouple the subs without added work to fix the speaker. I see you picked a sub that's... 
Buyer Dispute
Dang ghasley you and I are like minded. There is a time and a place for all things including a plane ride.. 6 months, no speakers, 7K.. I’d be gittin’ ticked.. BUT be cool and FERM for now.. Tell the seller it's OK if he puts another pair on hold... 
McIntosh MA 352 or C22 Mk V?

Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k)
I just saw a super good looking set of VMPS RM40s and a matching VSS (very sturdy sub) for around 4K total. External XOs, TRT teflon caps, silver wiring and AC G3 tweeters. You won’t find anything like it. Period.. One of the top 5 speakers EVER m...

Avoiding Scammers - Both As Buyer & Seller
Perth Australia, I won't even go to the country or buy behind a single seller. In 5 years the guy has sold 20 pieces. Yet Ebay with it's SELLERS protection and 10 days to get it done or loose, managed NOT to get the guy to refund a single cent on ... 
Midrange heavy speaker cables, any recommendations?
If my finger would hold up for more than 15 minutes at a time, I’d do it for ya. Somebody help jetter out here. :-) Let me think OK.. BUT the terminal ends are actually the most important part. I have two mom and pops in China I’ve used for a fe... 
Tired of all the gimmicky pricing, i.e. $999.99 or $927

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32749223344.html You may find better, I'd really doubt it though. Ribbon there are several I use. 1-200.00 at the most.. 3 meters
