Apt Manager: I hear that you got new speakers...

[Deleted member 4644]

hehe.. finally got the sub working correctly (auto on/off detect)...

Time to set it for night time listening. lol

 

[Falloutboy]

lol I hated having to deal with apartments, ended up not even bothering with a sub

 

[pennylane]

Nice. As an apartment dweller, I have an Onix X-Sub. Not too powerful so it doesn't bother anybody, but at least I can hear the bass and sometimes feel it. Nobody's complained yet.

 

[EvilYoda]

Sadly, the main deciding factor in this last round of apartment hunting was "how will my system work in here"...this is also why I'm on the first floor. Luckily I think this building's pretty well built so I can get away with a lot.

Heh, being a home theater enthusiast is tough when you live in an apartment. Fortunately, I live on the second floor of my complex, right above my own garage, so I don't really bug any of my neighbors.

 

[Glavinsolo]

not to thread jack but is there any home theater in a box or speaker kit that can be easily used to supplement a tv? Like a 2.1 kit or such

I bought a sub when I lived in an apt. I then returned it because the neighbours complained.

I bought a sub when I lived in a townhouse. I rarely used it, but only on low, or when I knew the neighbours weren't around.

I now live in a detached home.

pretty much any decent computer 2.1 kit will sound better than built in speakers.

I've decided to not bother with a sub until I have a house. Also means I'll have more money to spend on it when I get it

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

You guys just need to get apartments above bars

 

[tefleming]

I have no downstairs neighbor. I'm on the second floor above the garage entrance (which isn't as bad as I'd thought it would be).

Of course, I still haven't bought a sub yet :-(

I've got an eD A2-300 in my apartment. Actually it's gotten me in less trouble than my old Dayton because it's not as boomy I guess.

 

[BornStar]

I am without a sub and will be until I buy a house which will hopefully be later this year. My mains produce a decent amount of bass (it doesn't shake the apartment but it's clean and at a reasonable volume)so I survive for the time being.

 

[Eug]

^^^ Yeah, that's how I felt. With a good set of fronts with reasonable bass, it's a reasonable compromise... and you don't have to worry about your neighbours banging down your doors.

In a house, no more such constraints.

 

[Oyeve]

My neighbors hate me. My sub is front firing but its 250w. And when I drink I crank the tunes up to 5 and the whole building shakes. Aahhh, pre-war construction at its best.

 

[NaOH]

I'm suprised my neighbors haven't complained. I was watching Wanted the other day and rocked my living room

 

[Jabbernyx]

I had an eDesigns A2-300 in a student apt way back when. Needless to say, I hardly ever got the chance to really let it loose

 

[Viper GTS]

I have a 15" Tempest Sonosub (waist high, 24" diameter) driven by a 750W rack mount amp. Needless to say it doesn't get turned on much.

Had a lot of fun with it when I first built it. I was renting a house & would rattle dishes in the cabinets on the floor above. Highly entertaining.

Damn I knew I forgot something!!! :brokenheart: About 5min ago, after posting about the HTPC I've been trying to build for the better part of the year, I came accross this thread.... For the apt. dwellers... when you buy a house just remember to leave some $$$ aside for some speakers.... Damn I'm retarded. I have no sound but my tv's speakers....
