    Bringing this back, because I'm on #2! Sold my first to Irishaz, who as far as I know is still enjoying it. But my buddy dropped out on his, so I'm taking over. Time to have some hardcore 2.1 in the bedroom! :)

    Assembly should be completed this weekend. Changing up a few style things, but keeping it the same otherwise.

    Talk about disproportionate audio/video rigs!

    In any case, it's completed. Only problem I have now is that the sub is being sent full-range signal, as my stereo receiver doesn't have a cutoff for it. Not sure what I can do about that though...

    Depends on your setup.

    If you have an line level signal feeding a sub amp, use an RCA inline crossover. Partsexpress has them for maybe 5$.

    If you can't do that, a passive crossover on the sub. Something like a 9 mH coil(16 gauge) and 140 uF capacitor(go cheap NP electrolytic).

    Yes they are. Decided to keep them and sell the 10s instead.

    And thanks Shinace, good recommendations. We'll see... I figure this is a temporary setup until I can get around to getting the basement all rigged up! (sooner rather than later hopefully!)
