en, the result is pretty impressive. A very tight and accurate bass. An even respose across the bass frequencies.

Next bass project will be tougher. Repair the Velo HGS-15 and integrate it with the 2 Digms. This is actually not easy. I hope I can get it to work.


this would mean that you will be having 3 subs already after the repair! whooooaaa bro!

hope you could get it work...... tapos panood kami.... ;D

The difficult thing about the third sub in my HT is that it will be at the rear (not the front) and the distance from the main listening position will be very different from the other 2 subs. This means that the sound of the 2 subs in front will arrive later than the sound of the sub at the rear. To compensate for this, you need to insert a device between the AVR and the sub at the rear, which will introduce a slight delay in its sound.

Theoretically, there should be no problem but I really haven't tried it yet.

3 subs is not really a lot. Alvin has 4 subs. I think Mike C has 10.  ;D

More subs does not necessarily mean more power, unless you raise the trim of your subs above the rest of the speakers (some people like to do that but I don't). In most cases, more subs really means a smoother bass.

Alvin has 4 subs but the total volume is only equal to one sub. What's more important is that his bass response is smooth.

In my case, I really need 2 subs dahil sa sobra laki ng volume ng HT (more than 6000 cubic feet). Beyond 2 subs in my HT, the contribution of a new sub is to help smoothen the bass.

I forgot to mention my interesting solution to the CR door which was shaking with heavy LFE material.

The carpenter tightened the hinges and door knob pero may ingay pa rin so we glued a small piece of rubber on the door jamb (parang sa refrigerator) so the door has to be pulled tightly to close it. More specifically, we used a small piece of tsinelas material. Perfect!  ;D
Interesting how a tsinelas can make such a big improvement in a high-tech HT. Kahit hindi Havaianas, galing pa rin.  ;D

Sir mark you can also try using door seals by raven brand.it reduces vibration and at the same time prevents cold air from escaping the room or the bad smell from the cr to go inside your ht ;D It is so effective ;)

Hehe. Yun ba ang nabibili sa TruValue? I think I got that for the main door to the HT and it's really effective - highly recommended, but the jamb for the CR is kinda small so I had to use tsinelas. Ok lang din for some cold air to go to the CR para malamig ng konti.  ;D

By the way, di pala nawala lahat ng rattle. Ok sya for most material but not Cloverfield. There is also a portion of Planet Earth which has elephants and the LFE is really low. May rattle din. Hay naku ... Hahanapin ko uli kung saan yun.  :(

try to put rubber insulation around the door jamb na muna instead of a small portion lang. sometimes pati yung mga loose screws sir nag vivibrate, thin walls and glass panels(and check mo din yung toilet seat ;D) Sir pvc door ba yng sa CR?. But the hardest to treat talaga is yung glass panels,ibang klase yung rattle :(

The door is solid wood. Experiment uli ako. Hanapin ko ung isa pang rattle. It's not that strong and it only appears with really deep LFE.

Thanks sa advice!

That's what makes this hobby interesting. Wala talagang katapusan, but you can move at your own pace. Mura naman ang DIY traps. Matrabaho lang.  ;D

Sir Mark,

As ever you set the pace when it comes to EB's. Thanks sir. Its always a pleasure to go to your humble abode to appreciate and drool over your not so humble set-up. It was an eye and ear opener to me despite the fact na medyo di ko magawa sa sarili ko ang ginagawa ko sa mga taong madla. Lusot ko lang eh wala kasi ako sa sweet spot. Di tulad ni bro XXXyzledge...sweet spot hanggang sa huli. Sobrang ganda nga bro XXXyzledge. I even told my wife na maganda ang P$#N sa HD!!! It was a wonderful opportunity to meet people who share the same passion and obsessions in life. Great meeting you all and at last putting a face to the famous names and handles in the on-line community we all love. ;D
