As long as Bill designs in secure storage to hold the magic crystals and unicorn farts needed to get around Hoffman's Iron Law, put me down for a dozen plans.

yeah man.

A simple home audio 2way speaker would come in handy here. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of designs for those available. For examples you need go no further than the Parts Express tech talk forum. There are two criteria for me doing a design. One is that it's something that you can't readily f...

So, we’re finally getting the house back together and bought flooring from Home Depot. Nice stuff. It came on 2 pallets, and had a half sheet of what looked like decent,if cheap, plywood on the top and bottom of each pallet. Scuffed edges, veneered, but no visible knots and it had some potential for...

Not to mention it has two amps on board, making a biamped cab possible.

when they break up, it’s so nasty no one in their right mind would keep going. My assumption is that the responsible culprits are teenagers, which explains that. :noob: Well... I hooked them up to my IPR7500 sub amps once to see how much they could take... they took it all until I was hard into the...

Yeah, that's pretty funny right there Brent (but expensive!) I do like my little portable rechargeable-battery Bose bluetooth speaker though. It comes in handy. The sound isolating headphones are also nice for drowning people out (and for checking rough audio levels coming from streaming services i...

Unless you're the one operating them limiting will do you no good, the people using them will find a way to change it. Never loan or rent out anything you won't mind getting back broken. Or, they’ll keep turning everything up that makes it “louder” and run the whole thing into clip for so long it b...

I sent it to the guy that builds my speakers and is currently building my kitchen cabinets. He said he was going to frame it.

Interesting. Thanks for the explanation CO. I didn't know there was such a thing as an RMS Limiter and must have mixed the two up somewhere along the line. Now I'm wanting to see the waveform of a limited signal on an oscilloscope. Why would they not just have it work the same as a compressor w/o m...

When these idiots start redlining gear (which includes playing hard into the limiter so it's always limiting), they start driving the power curve up so you end up getting more power per volt. I thought limiters left the signal intact. Like compression, attenuates signal peaks. No? Normally not. Com...

EDM DJ's never have enough. I since wired them series so that even if they disable the limiters: A: only 1 would blow instead of both at once as that would open up the circuit (they are dual loaded cabs). B: the amplifier only puts out 97 volts so each driver is only seeing around 48.5 volts - with...

This company is local to me, have been using their stuff for years with no problems. https://www.firefold.com/home-theater/...

Speakon is a bit much for home Theater. Banana terminals or binding posts are more than sufficient.

If you have replacement cost insurance be sure to submit them at the equivalent retail value on Bill’s website, or get a quote from an authorized builder. Your sweat equity is worth something.

Water in and of itself does damage, but the type of water you get in a flood is filled with nasty stuff, and tends to be pretty corrosive. If you have insurance, you will probably be making a claim anyway... just let the insurance pay for it. If you don't have insurance... well... I'd plan on replac...
