How to get a mono signal for whole house audio
The instructions were both verbal and in writing. There was also a walk around done showing where to put things with markings on the studs. What possibly could go wrong? It's just stereo wiring-right. The drywallers started late today and didn't g... 
Let's build a subwoofer interconnect
I'm learning a lot from our members in the course of this discussion. I assumed great connectors and great wire were required to attain great subwoofer performance. It seems that premise would result in over kill. I'm exploring the options shared ... 
Let's build a subwoofer interconnect
I didn't mean to imply a low cost recommendation would be considered sub par. I was simply saying the old microphone cable currently feeding my sub is sub par and I'd like to replace it with something exceptional that includes very good connectors...

Thanks for the ideas thus far. I'm still waiting to hear from Chris at VH Audio. At this point, for me, the minimum acceptable connector would be the Bullet copper. This would also allow extra $$ for a nice shielded wire. I've 'gotten by' with a s... 
Dining/kitchen in-wall speaker height

Additionally, speaker sounds rather flat and veiled-certainly not clean sounding. Could be related, or perhaps an unrelated placement issue. 
Smelly softening woofer and midranges
Ozfly, Speaker is less than a year old. Tweeter seems fine. There are two 6 1/2" woofers and a 5 1/4" midrange. Using your test method, the woofers were both quiet upon light compression. The midrange, however, made a rubbing sound-almost like the...

Does anyone make right angle RCA jacks?
Carda makes a nice right angle RCA jack. It's not an adaptor. It is made to solder on. 
Who has solved the HVAC air noise problem?
For return ducting, internally lined sheet metal ductwork would be my first choice for noise reduction, followed by ductboard. By the way, ductboard IS code approved for residential and commercial HVAC systems. I'm not crazy about the fiber from d... 
Who has solved the HVAC air noise problem?
Bill The first thing you need to know is the cooling BTU requirement for the room. From that number total cfmcan be calculated.CFM will dictate the number and sizes ofducts. To reduce vent noise you can go with larger ducts and registers and fewer...
