Anyways, I took lots of pictures... so here... skip to the bottom for finished pics

The box is tuned to 27hz or so and plays wonderfully! Shakes the whole house. It will be plenty to get lots of complaints in my dorm
It will be paired with custom cherry cabinets from Mr Marv with dayton drivers powered off a Harmon Kardon stereo reciever (100x2 @ 8ohm)
The parts express plate amp puts out full power @ 4 ohm... and since the e8a is dual 4, I had to step it up to 8ohm so it is only getting around ~150watts. Gets LOUD though.

Thats awesome. rock:

nice work... that thing looks awesome, but that sunset pic is fuckin' hardcore...

where is it going ?

[quote="Short Hand":ec86a]where is it going ?[/quote:ec86a]

2 12"s will be crazy in a little dorm room! This single 8 shakes the entire living room, 2 12"s would knock pictures off the walls.

I live on the first floor and a buddy of mine lives on the 3rd. Our prediction is he'll be able to hear it from my room.

nice.. are harman kardon's good?

They are a step up from bestbuy/circuit city line ups. Mid-end stuff, but remember they are in the market with "high end" units costing 5 figures. I got mine reburbed for $250. Goes new for ~$600.

Old one? Back in the 70s/80s they were legendary :)

no they are just small desktop ones

my boss' laptop has h/k speakers... that made me chuckle...

[quote="Mr. maple":dc249]no they are just small desktop ones[/quote:dc249]
ohh speakers you mean! I was refering to receivers. There speakers are nothing special. Good, but they are famous for receivers not speakers.

Is the Logitech x-220 2.1 3 piece set any good?

No experience with them, their higher end sets are amazing though, I'd expect those to be decent.

They're pretty good. I have them, i was just wondering how they rate.

do it, chande the k to an h just rub away the top arm of the k with a small knife

Creatvie gigaworks 7.1 850 watt Sound System = best computer system on the market today. Unbeatable.

How much is it? Im looking for a new Comp system so i can use these for my tv.

no point in it unless you have a Creative Soundblaster Audigy ZS card to go with it. It runs for 700 Canadian, Much more worth it then a fucking video card though.

Im currently running the step down system, the Inspire 7.1 system, its great and pumps, but not thumping. The audio quality is also lacking in comprision since its not 100 % true digital. Its a great mid entry system though, goes perfectly with my fortissimo 7.1. Still though nothing compared to the gigaworks system.

holy crap nice
