I love audio stuff too, car and home. have the alpine dvd unit in my car with the imprint kit and have the re xxx component set for the front and a pair of re se 12's in the trunk on kenwood x1r and x4r amps and love it. I had built my own home mains and surrounds a few years back but when I moved, I didnt really have room to move them so gave them to a friend. had 900 american in the fronts and rears just in parts and loved them. My friend said I can come and get them whenever I want.

Oh yeah, nothing like a good sub to put a smile on your face.Thats sweet man! I contemplated building my own at one point too, but my schedule, laziness, and then computers got in the way heheh. But Im getting the bug back, and seeing some new hardware has got my attention
Hard to beat the value of building your own sub too. I built a box for an Infinity Kappa Perfect 12 and paired it with a 750 watt pro amp. It feels like it will bring the house down when its cranked up.

After letting it run in overnight, I have to say Im pretty impressed with it! It totally outclasses my speakers and amp heheh. I was useing a kicker 10" comp in a tiny sealed box, powerd by 60w of kenwood power. The sub amp come from an old kenwood "home theater" kit. This thing makes the cupboards rattle, and it actually sounds reallllly good with both music and movies! The sub itself is pretty old tho, 2003 I believe.. It retailed for 1800 here at the time, but it wasnt fully run in yet, and looked flawless

Does that have 2 woofers, or is one of them a passive radiator?

OK!
A bit of an update.. My sisters boyfriends dad hooked me up with his old celler dwellers They are Mirage M490is My sub totally outclassed my old Missions, and now the Mirage's totaly outclass my amp.. Im not too sure if I want a home theater setup, or if I want to stick with 2 channel. My friend has a 140 wpc Onkyo 7.1 amp, with networking, and all that stuff. But I dont like how it sounds with music, its pretty good with movies tho.. But I love music so.. Ugh decisions decisions...
Yes I got a new lamp too
Pix!

Mirages are very nice. Does the lamp rattle on top of the sub? lol

Thanks, yes they are! Unfortunately they dont sound as good on my h/k as they did on his classe (sp?)
The cabinet on the sub is actually fairly decent, tho it does resonate a touch at higher volumes. My alarm clock will move around a bit, but it doesnt rattle
Edit:
Stuff upstairs rattles tho

Thats what happens to me too. Having it in the basement and all...the concrete doesnt resonate like wood. When my big Klipsches are going you can definitely feel it upstairs.
