Btw, those 3 speakers are my center channels.

I might be around your neighborhood sometime soon so I'll bring a swatch of the screen fabric. Will text you. ;D

Are you sure you want to try out 3 speakers as center channels? Did you read about that somewhere? Is there a particular technique needed to do this?

In theory, if you send the same signal to those 3 speakers, you will have all sorts of comb filtering problems.


If you are in my area, daan ka sa bahay. Text ka lang. Ingat!  :)

Thanks Chief! You are right. At the moment, i am only around 10 feet away from the centers so comb filtering is not so much of an issue for me yet (i am saying this based on intelligibility of dialogue)...maybe it also helped that i am using the same kind of speakers and they are aligned/positioned the same way and being driven by the same amp. The thought of fabricating an enclosure using all the drivers from my existing 3 separate center speakers did cross my mind. hehehe

hahaha. Dapat nga siguro pabalikin ko na agad!

Anyway, sana nga masimulan ko na 'to.
Pero malabo this weekend.

Though this is just temporary, I am still thinking what size screen I can try given my short viewing distance at the moment. 72" diagonal lang kasi e parang malaki na rin.

brader alvin!  inip na inip na kami ni brader jim na masilyan yan project mo!

O eto na ang preview ng project braders...leha, pintura, masilya na lang at malapit-lapit na. ;D
Thanks to my sidekick Jun, nabubuo na pakonti-konti. Ready na ang spray gun. Matte black finish.
By next week siguro, ok na 'to.

I also took an image of the screen material...but wala akong macro kaya pasensya na bros.
White yung screen...i don't know why it is coming out grayish on this pic I took.
In actual, at my current viewing distance the small holes are not really noticeable since they are so minute.
Compared to the screen that i am using now, the whites appear "whiter". And the colors, more vibrant. (using default settings)

The screen frame looks high...pinatong lang namin (where the speakers will be placed) but it will actually be lowered pa...medyo mataas kasi existing screen ko now.

I took the screen material that i'm going to use on the frame and placed it directly in front of my speakers(at a distance of around 2 inches)...medyo mahirap pa mag conclude how the sound got affected. I can't really tell the difference...so that's a good sign. Maybe it's because i was just too close to the speakers.

That's it for now bros. ;D

 Bro Alvin!

Masakit na po ang likod ko sa kaka-masilya at leha :-\...buti na lang at puede nga pala yung car buffer na sander...bukas paint job naman...i just stapled the screen onto the frame, ayush naman...tight.

Will start disconnecting gears tonight to make way for the stand that will replace my manual pull down.

'am excited here to try it out na... ;D
...hoping that it will not be a disappointment. But then again, i had fun building this screen.
So, ok na for me whatever the outcome will be.

And once all is set...Chief Mark, kayo na po bahala mag pasensya sa maliit kong room but it will be an honor to have you visit here sa St Rose...together with Kagawad Aynz...and Master J and my neighbors, of course...malapit lang naman kayo. Yung mga di nakarating last time...come on down. Kaya lang...pag tatlo na tayo sa room e di na tayo kasya...kaya by two's lang ang pagsilip sa experimento...hahaha.

Will post pics when completed. ;D

Na miss ko nga yung RS6 ko dahil sa 'yo...kaya nga di ko na pakawalan yung RS1.
For me, sulit talaga ang 8350. Konti na lang ang difference sa price nya compared to 720p PJ's out there.
'hope to see you bro.  ;D
