I've been looking for a good under-cabinet range hood at most of the major outlets and my best bet seems to be the Maxsonic Elite 30" . I'm okay with the price and the look, but I'm concerned about the 400CFM rating and the 18" depth (as listed on the Reliable Appliances website). Any othe...

Thanks for the recommendations. I will make some calls.

This thread shows up when I googled "shelf brackets trinidad", which was funny.

Humes

Putting up some wall shelves (mostly books) in the office, and I need some more interesting bracket choices than what I'm seeing at Bhagwansingh's and the couple of small hardwares I checked. More along these lines:

Any suggestions?

Humes

Ay, folks. Picked up the amp today, hooked it up, back in business. Had to change subwoofer output to LFE+Main in the AVR settings, which I guess has something to do with the sub being passive (will go read up on what it means). The bass extraction LPF is 80hz. Let me know if there's anything I shou...

Go with a trustworthy brand. Most likely the specs on that no-name amp are exaggerated. Check the Dayton Audio, their stuff is legit. I doh know the brand, but the product looks well-regarded. Reviews on it are solid. paid_influencer, I had a moment where I genuinely considered it today eh, but nah.

Humes

You can go either way - add an amp to your existing sub if the sub and enclosure suit your needs OR get a powered sub. If you get an amp for your existing sub then check the speaker and see what amplifier will suit it You can look at one of these for around US$70 https://amzn.to/3C2UPYB Screenshot ...

Thanks. I read customer and professional reviews, watched a few videos, etc. It looking fine for my purpose and budget.

I just passing it by alyuh veterans in case I overlooking anything important on a technical level.

Unless yall have any major technical objections, I think this is the one I'll be going with.

Check Sound and Security in Valpark https://soundandsecurityexperience.com/product-category/home-audio/ That was the last place I passed by. Their cheapest amp was around $1500, and they didn't have any lower-end subs. So then I checked Subway, but like they closed down their Valpark branch. I call...

Any reason I shouldn't get this Acoustic Audio PSW-8?

Or this Rockville Rock Shaker 6.5?

They both meet or surpass my old sub's specs.

(I frighten that this is the part where alyuh start tuh cuss mih)

Humes

get a powered sub. Is this. I called around to every major electronics/AV outlet, and passed through PriceSmart, Courts, Standard, PriceSmart, even Furniture Plus. Only higher grade subs and amps, or full speaker sets. So Amazon. The Onkyo subwoofer is a 8" 130 watt model, so I'm looking for s...

Humes

Lemme put it this way: The Onkyo system was always great, but I rarely pushed the volume up to anywhere near max. So if I can find a way to keep this sub, cool.

But if getting a powered ~100 watts sub for similar or lower cost, even better.

Humes

Damn...was hoping to avoid that. Well, recommendations on a subwoofer? Nutten fancy, and I fine buying used. The prices for standalones on Amazon not very friendly. Any good sellers locally? so you would need an amp or something to powers up the subwoofer The guys in Sham's in TCM were telling me th...

On to the next question :lol: Does anywhere locally sell RCA to speaker wire adapters? The new receiver only takes an RCA subwoofer connection, but my subwoofer is a bare speaker wire type. I ordered this screw-in adapter and this male plug to bare cable end, but I'm open to buying one locally. (The...

So from the looks of it, I got it fixed. I had to use the resolutions listed under "PC" in the Nvidia Control Panel (instead of the same resolutions under "Ultra HD, HD, SD"). That might have been what I was overlooking. The resolutions under PC allow for 120hz, while some of the...

Humes

Connecting the PC directly to the TV via HDMI 2.1 enables 4K/120 and 1440/120 in the Nvidia Control Panel (which it couldn't do with older HDMI 1.4), so it's HDMI 2.0 capable. This customer review on Amazon describes what's happening: It will not go above 60 Hz in the PC gaming area, and the PC GPU ...

Humes

I did. Rebooted the PC too.

I have the PC directly connected to the TV now via the new cable, and it's doing 4K120. So I'll likely need to change something with how I set up the AVR.

Humes

So I upgraded to the Denon S570BT . My PC is connected via HDMI to the game port on the AVR, and my TV is connected to the AVR via the 120hz eARC port. I'm using these HDMI 2.1 cables , rated for 4K120. I've set everything up, audio is working, but video at both 4K and 1440p is limited to 60hz. The ...

Humes

Got it working with ARC. It uses the HDMI Out port for ARC, which I didn't even consider. Had to change a few other settings on the receiver itself (after looking up the manual), and set passthrough on the TV, and it works fine now.

Glad about that!

Humes

The ARC didn't work, and I'm definitely leaning towards an alternative to a receiver.

I suspected so. I will try it tomorrow after I get a few new cables.

You can get an HDMI 1 into 2 splitter and connect it to the PC via HDMI and then one HDMI out cable to the TV and the other HDMI out to the Onkyo.

It will push signal to both devices simultaneously? The product description makes it sound like only one of the out devices can run at a time.

Humes

Cool, thanks!

Kinda considering just letting it go and getting a soundbar, though. We'll see.

Humes

I just got a new Hisense 55U7G. Cool TV. It's hooked up to a PC.

I still have my old Onkyo HT-S3400. It doesn't do 4K. No problem. HDMI straight from PC to TV.

I want the Onkyo audio, though. Can I pass audio through the TV to the receiver and keep making use of those speakers?

Humes

Folks, recommend me a decent 4K receiver that I can buy locally. Might not need speakers, as my Onkyo set still going strong. My set-up is a PC, a TV, and a console in a relatively small room. To be honest, I'm thinking of leaving receivers behind and using an HDMI switch and soundbar/subwoofer, but...

2013 Corolla. I called Toyota thinking I could just buy the controls, but they said basically that neither the wheel nor the stereo can accommodate that.

Humes

Folks, what are some steering wheel control options for a vehicle without built-in controls? It's for an older Corolla. So far I've been recommended a Metra ASWC Stalk . It's like an additional windscreen wiper controller, but only with audio controls. But I'm also interested in something more like ...
