    Dayton Shakers BST-300ex too much for stereo use of Fosi V3..amps cuts out.

    I was testing the BST-300ex with the Fosi V3. They are 4ohms and I decided to just do one per channel. Playing one alone is all good and powerful but the moment I tried both at the same time, the amps starts to cut out the sound. Using the Fosi 48V 5A did not help. So looks like for shakers I am...

    RCA to XLR adapter and lifting ground

    Hi! I have been meaning to try an RCA to XLR adapter or cable and see if there is a way to get rid of a hum in my AMP. I have tried connecting common ground and all sorts of things but the only thing that worked so far is a cheater plug for the AMP but I rather not use that and find a different...

    Am I doing this wrong trying to measure resistance?

    Hi. Somehow I ended up watching part of a Danny R video where he said the speaker jumper bridge he measured was showing a rather high 2.8ohms or something like that. I decided to test mine but I can't get any values to show. What am I doing wrong?

    If adding a coupler does not add capacitance, there is no real impact to the performance?

    Hi! I needed a 25foot RCA cable for my subwoofer but I realized I had two Monoprice Onix cables one 15 and one 12' so just 27'. So I used a coupler and measured capacitance (if that even matters) and it was still 21pF per foot so not sure if there is anything else that is a concern when using a...

    Are Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 that good or is this guy right?

    I mostly find great feedback about the lc-1 but then found this guy Troll ? Or what do you think? He also said this "It depends on the manufacturer. Some subwoofer cables use twisted pair which serves to eliminate hum. Monster, Audioquest and many others use this configuration. In addition...

    How do I use this meter to measure Capacitance and others?

    Hi! Out of curiosity I got this meter to test some of my cables like my RCA interconnector capacitance, etc but I just realized, I am not sure how to use it. When I place it at setting I think I should be using, the number keeps moving for example from like .5 to 4.2 with one of the cables...

    Picking between these 2 audio jewlery items...any "better" than the other?

Its a fancy power strip, but is what I want for the look of the gear rack so...no...

    This device is not fast enough for accurate watts readings, is it?

    Anything that looks like a power conditioner but is NOT? Just need a nice looking power "strip"

    Hello, So I have decided that I rather avoid those power "conditioners" but I like the looks of them with the connectors on the back and display for a clean look. Or even without a gauge of voltage, it will be fine as long as it keeps thinigs nice and clean by connectiong from the back of the...

    Aiyima A07 Pro sub output much lower than SMLS SA300...any idea why?

    I am comparing those two amps right now and one thing I noticed is the subwoofer plays much louder when connected to the SA300 vs the A07 Pro. Now, with the A07 Pro I am using a 3.5mm to RCA mono cable so I hope that is not the wrong type of cable to use for it. Any ideas? Thanks

    Hi! I just placed an order for the X7180 as many people claim they are pretty much the same as the Outlaw ones but looking at the specs they dont look as good to me. I know a youtube Joe and tell or something like that couldnt hear any difference vs his expensive Parasound so if its one of those...

    Would you swap from a Monolith 7x (7x200W) amp to an old Outlaw 770 to pocket some cash?
