Qguy's 2.1 - 2 channel setup
« on: Feb 18, 2012 at 12:36 PM »



******************************************************************************************
Pandemic Build

DIY PB3000 clone








Mar 2020 Building the BEAST - https://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,157389.msg2714224.html#msg2714224

July 2018 Update
************************************************************************************************************
Some changes....

Pioneer SX-1250 serving HT and Audio duties,

Audio
Alon Model IV and Rythmik F15 (Both are sealed systems)

HT
JBL L112 and Klipsch SW112 (Both are ported systems)

No Filters, Both speakers are run full range

This is the best setup I have ever had, I always struggled with using one sub for Audio and HT. Audio, lower crossover point vs HT's higher crossover point. Using 2 different sets of speakers for Audio and HT, I no longer have to fiddle with the sub setting. I also enjoy the added benefit of using a ported sub for HT and Sealed for Audio.

Etong setup ang gusto ko...para sa mga pinanganak na semi-hearing impaired, yep, my right ear is deaf. It's been like that since i was born, but i love music very much, i even play the guitar.

Hope to be able to save up and build one of these.

Nice setup sir...you're the ONE!!

for several months na , i dont bother with pulling the speakers out,  although mas maganda yung image when its far from the walls. Right now mas na enjoy ko yung "music" rather than concentrating on the image, most of the time nga nasa tabi ako ng sub,  i am not even facing the speakers  ;D

Integration was pretty much done by ear, I  just set the settings to a max of extension 50 hz, high damping and 14 hz extension. Then I just played with the fine crossover knob (I guess I am set at 35-40 hz). I did not use the PEQ, as I was already happy with the results that I was getting.

if you meant how it was connected, then its connected by speaker cable

Speaker output from amp using speaker wire to speaker inputs ng subwoofer, basically you connect the subwoofer like a regular speaker.  Then connect another set of speaker wire to your amp going to your "front/main" speakers.
