    Help: Building a set of bookshelf speakers

    If you are building a reflex enclosure be careful of over damping the system with too much stuffing type material. Ideally this is done by adding or removing stuffing while monitoring the impedance response, but it can be done by ear too. Just make it easy to try out different materials /...

    Packaging Material

    Recently I used polystyrene chips for a few shipments. Seemed to work really well. Got my 40kg each Seas Thors up north with no issues. I think they provide that slight give you mention and there is no having to cut to the correct size. Just pour it in and around. Obviously seal any ports /...

    Adjustable tweeters

    No - no danger of damaging crossover or woofer the way you have described it. Crossovers are designed to try to make the frequency response flat. Some go to great lengths to achieve this within the speakers. Then they equalise the hell out of them in the amplifier to correct for room...

    Paid but not collecting?

    In my view if it really is an issue for you the simplest & nicest way of doing this is to at least offer or insist on refunding the person their purchase price. Or if you are a hard ass, whatever purchase price you can get again in a reasonable time frame.

    Is this wise?

    I suspect that unless the balls are completely flat that it will allow the amp to slip. Think of a tanks tracks, but in the shape of a sphere..

    I bought a car that is now allegedly stolen!

    Precisely. Their contract would not have been in accordance with the cpa and the tribunal / court would be able to enforce that. Btw, once a case is lodged the company is then not entitled to approach you through other legal means until the matter is finalised. Another thing in your favor...

    I bought a car that is now allegedly stolen!

    Their are guidelines for the cancellation fees applied in that they must be reasonable. The act prescribes certain elements to be considered. A blanket 80% or 50% remaining is not in accordance with the CPA http://www.saflii.org/za/cases/ZACGSO/2016/1.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I bought a car that is now allegedly stolen!

    Not sure where this info is comming from Juggy, but it is not correct. Although CPA matters can go before a magistrate, there are special courts setup to process these complaints. The process is managed through the office of the consumer commission, but they act for you. You do not need an...

    Samsung TV Remote conflict advice needed

    Depending on the location you are in it may simply be picking up the or signal in the usual way. If you close the bedroom door does this still happen? If so, if you disconnect the remote eye does it still happen?

    Where to get an extremely high quality paint brush?

    What exactly are you looking to do? If you want a spray paint finish, you won't get that with a brush. Or at least you won't get that with products that are applied with a brush. They simply won't be as hard. As far as brush strokes on furniture goes, what exactly are you finishing? Is it...

    I bought a car that is now allegedly stolen!

    The actual party to claim against here is the seller / dealer. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_law_of_sale Search for "warranty against eviction". The seller must guarantee that the buyer is not able to be evicted in future. IE you are being evicted from your vehicle. I would...
