GAH, after I get this:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ol...oduct&id=1190676939795

I am going to probably get a sub (if you can PM me with ~<250 options, then do it, please.) and then a headphone amp.

How big of a room is this?

With $250, I think you have some of the better options already picked out from the sticky thread.

With the sales on Dayton subs from Partsexpress, it would also be a possibility to do dual subs (10s or 12s) for around $250.

Small room, as you gave me options on projectors (AX200U) but most were too small to be utilized correctly in my room. The Onkyo is enough, but in loud movies it has been known to bottom out a little bit if a big enough boom happens (my bad ). I just want something a little more beefy.

I was looking at these:
http://search.ebay.com/search/...c+subwoofer&category0=

or:
http://www.av123.com/products_...ubwoofers&product=12.1

I am thinking the 8" MAY not be enough, or a good enough upgrade (bass, not SQ wise) from the Onkyo with the 10"

Or do you think it would be more beneficial going with a dual-sub setup. (or just use one for my current Polk R150 2.0 setup on my computer mainly for music)

You can PM me so we do not have to spam your thread.

Thanks.

Looks like the $130 Trends should be on my list too

I think if you're bottoming out the Onkyo 10" that getting a lot of output should be a priority.

I've seen some pretty decent output levels from the AV123 X-Sub

But I think dual 10" or 12" Daytons would probably be a strong bet to getting the output you want. With free shipping and sale prices, I think it would be hard to turn them down unless you don't have the room for them. (You could even stack them vertically if you wanted to)

Maybe you could even use the Onkyo sub with the Polk setup and then use the dual Daytons for the main area?

Eh, good idea! I did have it hooked up just by its self (the sub) with the same output from the AV710 and it sounded like million dollar speakers, so yeah, good idea Jello. Although... how would I hook it to my old Pioneer VSX-401, could I maybe just take the left side from the tape output and use that for the low level line-in to the Onkyo?

So......how in the hell did you manage to hijack Jello from his own thread topic?

So the onkyo only has a RCA input on it? (no high-level speaker wire inputs?)

No, it does not, it has a level knob on it and the input. I wish it did however, so you think I should just get the BIC H-100, or get a BIC H-100 and maybe a 12" or 10" Dayton?

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

I think if you do get dual subs for the main setup, you should get matching ones. The Daytons are the only decent ones I know about where you could pull that off at close to your budget.

So on the other system do you use the volume control on the receiver to change volume, or do you use the computer's volume control?

If it's the computer's, you could try to split off the original signal coming from the soundcard even. If you use the receiver for volume, then that wouldn't work so well
In that case yeah, you'd have to test out if the tape-out works or if you have any other sort of outputs on the receiver as an option.

 

[montypythizzle]

Yeah, I know, I was just going to buy one BIC H-100 for my main system (since my room may not warrant 2 12"s especially with my new fronts which have 15s in them and make the room rattle with no sub...) and one 12" or 10" Dayton which has the high-level inputs for the computer system which just has a Pioneer VSX-401 (just basic stereo with REVOLUTIONARY!!! Dolby Surround Sound with adjustable delay AND composite switching capabilites!!!) with the HQ alt. out from the AV710, and TOSLINK to the Onkyo.

Yeah though, I use the volume control on the Pioneer for my speakers, but the Windows mixer also works.
It never really goes past 10, out of 30 on the control

The tape out may work (if I keep the Onkyo, may just put it in the living room to replace the depleted 8" 100W (lies.) sub in there, as it is bigger than my room.

I'm not sure if the tape output will vary with the volume control on the front of the receiver, so you might still run into problems with volume adjustments.

With the 15s in your front speakers, what is their low frequency extension already?

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

GRRRRRR

10 minutes outside and they just snap when I take them off my head :|

The specs say 25, so about 35

The large fronts are on the Onkyo though, IDK, the 'rents haven't let me "test" them yet, might try to play some bass songs, I remember I had a Bass Mekanik CD when I was about 12 years old I have been a basshead my whole life.

Yeah, after listening to some bass songs, it goes down around 35-40 so a woofer is still needed, but not necessary, IDK, let me try out this CD that has the exact frequency so I can get an estimate.

Sennheiser was pretty lenient on my RMA, the CSR took care of me.

I took off the pads on my HD485s and I couldn't get them back on there, so I snapped off the little driver screen and frame that holds on the pads, I was putting back on the frame when one of the clips holding on the frame broke, so I just told them exactly that and they tried making me pay, I told the CSR that they wanted me to pay when checking on my RMA status, she said she would make it free and a pair came back about a week later, including the headphone holder (which was not required to be sent back), so now I have a headphone holder for my Grados.

If you're already getting down in the ~30 range, I think you should be looking at something with some better low frequency extension than the 8" X-Sub.

AV123 does have some exciting new subs coming out (MFW-15 is about to start shipping), but the price of those subs is above your budget.

Are you into DIY stuff at all?

Yeah I sent an e-mail to Sennheiser so hopefully I'll hear back from them soon with good news... they're only ~6 months old.

I'll have to go back to my winter proof HD-280s for a while it seems. At least they're actually better ear muffs even if they don't sound as good
Back to being extra careful I don't get hit by a bus

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

Oh and I might just wait to see what Mark from AV123 has up his sleeve with the new electronics in the X-series to see if there's something that might appeal to me from them for the amp

I'm going to have to decide if it's worth it to me to send back the t-amp to sonic impact to get it repaired and use my soundbar in the meantime or if I should just live with having to turn it on many many times to get it working until I replace it with something better. hmmmm....

 

[montypythizzle]

Eh, fuck it jello, I was testing them, my mom said "Monty, you better shut that shit off!~!!!" So...

I guess the 65 Hz resonance of the whole house didn't impress her, the full power of the 15's will wait.


I guess I knocked some pictures off of her wall in her bedroom that adjoins our room. I could only do that with certain songs with my Onkyo.

They are KLHs, my dad had ONE of these things and it rocked his house, I got two, I think they have a little less quality drivers than his, but I have two of them ^_^.

As for DIY, um, I used to build subwoofer boxes, and by subwoofer boxes, I mean, plywood left over from various projects that my dad did. I don't have the tools he used to have, I had a jigsaw, and a lot of caulk (sometimes one tube for one box...) and my box was built!!!


The KLHs though, the right one as a loose front panel, I have it clamped right now, I don't really want to disturb the factory seal on the 15, but that is the only hole I can fit my hand and the caulk gun in.

So you're going to just stick with them instead of getting a sub?

I'll have to go back to my winter proof HD-280s for a while it seems. At least they're actually better ear muffs even if they don't sound as good
Back to being extra careful I don't get hit by a bus

I saw the pic on pics.bbzzdd and then I saw the username and was like, hmm. That sucks. Hopefully they'll be quick to respond/repair/replace.

Eh, fuck it jello, I was testing them, my mom said "Monty, you better shut that shit off!~!!!" So...

I guess the 65 Hz resonance of the whole house didn't impress her, the full power of the 15's will wait.


I guess I knocked some pictures off of her wall in her bedroom that adjoins our room. I could only do that with certain songs with my Onkyo.

So you're going to just stick with them instead of getting a sub?

No. I still think just getting the BIC for my main system (these fronts are too big as of now, may just get some Polk R50s but they will complement my sub for now) and get one of the Daytons for my computer system.
Sound good?

GRRRRRR

10 minutes outside and they just snap when I take them off my head :|

Sennheiser was pretty lenient on my RMA, the CSR took care of me.

The response they sent back to me this morning was to send it to Connecticut where they'd probably take 2 weeks to repair / replace and send it back to me.
