    Loudspeaker "Retro Encabulator" Video

    Drawing of 14" Woofer Basket?

    Does anyone have a mechanical drawing of the basket dimensions for the older JBL 14" woofer? I need to know the bolt circle, flange diameter, and minimum hole diameter it will fit through. Overall depth would be great as well. As far as I can tell these are impossible to get from JBL anymore...

    Quick and Dirty Bar Rig 2014 Edition

    It's been a while since I've had to point at it, but the Quick and Dirty Bar Rig available on my website still gets lots of traffic. I last updated it in 2010, and it no longer reflects the state of the art. I am considering updating it with the help of the community. While I've been able to...

    Small-ish Home Theater Subwoofer

    Warehouse Racks

    Here's a new one: We need to install some additional racks in our warehouse. Does anyone know what regulation (in NJ) covers their installation and bolting to the floor? I want to make sure our contractor does it right.

    I'd really like to hire a band for my wedding next year, having a DJ is not my idea of fun and having no music is not an option. We're having it in Vermont near where I grew up, so I asked a friend of mine from that area who he would hire. He came back with two names: The guy he'd want at his...
