Ideas for a big, bad, high-efficiency man-cave sound system

[Cal Weldon]

As to the man-cave system thing...

You don't have a man cave, you have a 'get away from the Mrs.' area. All I see is nice furniture and adornments. You are a couple bookshelves away from calling it a library. There was nothing that said football, NASCAR or bikinis and nothing remotely resembling redneckitis. No lavalamps, no hookah pipes, no beer fridge, no guns or any sort of weapon. There was no sign but I'm betting you have a no farting rule. No sir, no man cave there. I am surprised you didn't make me sit on a plastic sheet. 😀

Oops, this is OT

Then sell the leftovers and buy 2 more woofers. Dual 15" woofer setups work very well. They move a lot of air with very little effort.

Oh yeah, I just replaced my 12s with 15s and found myself creeping the subwoofer volume backwards another 3db..I'm not sure how much of that is efficiency difference, if any...but wow can they just effortlessly move crazy air.

Even inexpensive stuff can do the job in the cave.
Dual 15" Pyramid poly auto woofers
6.5" Misco paper mids
3x10 Pyle horns
600 & 4K - 2nd order
Save your good stuff for the more critical listening?

That's how it's done, right there. After 4 beers they'll sound like Wilson Alexandrias anyways.

Oh my goodness, if you sit a little closer, it's the Wall of Sound my friend, just ask JC.

Uh, that's 4 beers each, right?

If I may add a suggestion...

... it involves Scotch, Marijuana and a handful of Ruffies if that's alright. Those puppies are way better than Woodstock no matter what you guys say because they have have the best internal wiring you've ever seen. Connectors too. I didn't finish them as I was worried about the adverse effect of veneer.

Ok, time to stop...back into my cave.

Same old Pano - look first, make judgment, listen, confirmed!! 🙄 Pure Kanneman. 🙂

Pure BS. Same old Geddes. Facts need not apply. You post exctly what you accuse others of doing. Why?

I knew eventually the true Cal would emerge from under the veneer of civility and culture - wanna try the same rant re home decor on your other brother? 😉

hehe. You're just too neat and tidy Chris.

My brother? Oh ya, I had to smack him something serious when I saw his place. The garage is cleaner than my bedroom.
Darn, we're derailing this thread again. Sorry frangus.
