I bought a pair of Seas 25F-WB from @ghostinthemachine a while back. They needed surrounds, which he kindly arranged for me. And then - as many fellow DIYers do - I forgot about them. When I got around to researching them - wow! Magnesium chassis, 26Hz Fs, and used in some legendary speakers...

I love open baffle speakers passionately, but often the compromises prove difficult to live with. Single driver full ranges are ideal in theory, but in practice have limited bandwidth, can be shouty, and less than ideal. So a multi-way it is. With this project (which has arisen mainly due to...

Hi guys. Anyone able to give me and indication on what would happen if I (Hypothetically) set my inverter to feed excess solar into the grid for half the month? I am on postpaid, and have a digital meter.

Those who have done an install, can you give me a sense of budget, over and above the inverter/battery/panels to install a solar system? Changeover switches, breakers, brackets, wiring and labour - what sort of cost is this?

One of our businesses has procured a few thousand 7aH Lithium alarm batteries. Priced at R489 each. R70 delivery. Pretty much unbeatable deal. Thought I’d give you guys a heads up. http://capsecurity.myshopify.com/ Specs as follows: 12.8V 7 Amp hours, Lithium (Lifepo4) Battery New Lithium...

I would like to explore using autoformers to match HF levels in my crossover designs. Ideally I want to buy in wall volume controls and use these for their autoformers. Here is what I have gleaned, but embarrassingly I have almost no understanding. 1. Autoformers modify impedance and should...

would appreciate help from the hive mind. I would like to input I2S to my Holo Spring via a Raspberry Pi (or other SOC type machine). 1. What reclocker should I use? Is it necessary? 2. What HDMI - I2S transmitter will work? 3. Can you get a RPi with built in MMC? Thank you in advance for help.

Just a quick share of my latest project, before it goes to its new home. Not sure if it?s DIY, since the bulk of the heavy lifting was done by Rob, but it?s an unqualified success, which has many fathers? The project started with a Yuichi 290 horn that I had built as a prototype (the production...

Hi all, I thought I'd give you guys a heads up on developments on AVInside. We have introduced a feature format, which is not intended as a critical review, but rather a showcase of cool systems. We are trying to add more of an experiential element with video recordings (with HD audio tracks...

In the early 2000s, Deon Schoeman and I brainstormed what we surely believed would be our ticket to the 'big time'  ;). A website. It was designed as an offshoot of AVSA, a digital-only presence that would quickly establish content-supremacy in the dot-com bubble euphoria. We called it...

I have a long history with ghostinthemachine - from his early days as an energetic AVF member, sponging every bit of information possible and developing it in somewhat unorthodox ways. I would often bump heads with him then. I was insufferably arrogant (even more than now), and I didn't...

My son?s Honda Jazz head unit has a frustrating problem. Distorts one of the channels intermittently. Who is the best person for me to take it to? I will remove it etc, so just the actual tech would be needed. Johannesburg, so anyone reachable by car. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all, I am looking for chassis/cases for a few upcoming builds. If anyone bought one of the Vanguard chassis but isn't using it this would be perfect.

We need a bit of comic relief, so I did a thing. Sorry Rudi (it?s one of your early Gainclone with the super duper power supply and is damn impressive btw).

I have spent some time reading of Ingvar Ahlberg's adventures. While I'd hate my children to follow his path, I am somewhat jealous of his well lived life. Thus when the opportunity presented itself, i decided to build his design - a 3m back loaded horn. A birch ply reminder of the spirit of...
