  1. the speakers are on stands and the bases to them are big heavy cast aluminium. so guessing will have the same effect as being on a big piece of slate. as for the subi might get something big and heavy for it to sit on.
  2. NSX and RX7 are my top 2 choices for next jap metal. but must admit i am enjoying exploring the non jap world
  3. you're obviously not satisfied with the zed; otherwise you wouldn't be looking else where. might as well save the cash on zed mods and wait till you worked out what you actually want.
  4. i thought this, but didn;t know which plug to put it in, but as i got the cable within 24 hours and its doing the job great i can;t really complain.
  5. put it this way, i know when they're having sex!!! but thats upstairs, only tend to hear the odd shout etc, but they aren't paper thin. I just think his girlfriends a screamer
  6. i'm still in shock over the video dave, what the hell was that for????
  7. sub cable arrived this morning, all plugged in, but as the wife is home and helping test it; i've used the MCACC setup and it works but is very conservative. but as you crank the volume up it sounds great. just a little worried as the sub is placed next to the wall between myself and my next door neighbour. just been using 101 power ballads to test it out with and some cee lo green
  8. its just a shame about toyotas choice of unsavioury seat cloth material pattern
  9. a new RX7 would be cool. but i'm looking forward to the new NSX if it has to be Jap i think i'm a secret honda monkey
  10. if i bought a porsche i would be going for an early 80's late 70's porsche. would love to do a 911 restoration. maybe next project after the XKR
  11. i'd have kept the RX personally
  12. last time i took a mates mum for a "ride" we fellout and never spoke again!
  13. now an RX7 and you've got me interested. loved the Celica GT4; husky has one and its a corker. been in another mates supra and they are stunning machines but for me the love goes to the RX7
  14. thats an awesome technique, will have to give that a go
  15. they are starting to show their age; and i'm not sure if its a good thing.
  16. only just got it setup was running it earlier but had to pop out for a phono to phono cable for the OSD output. and it took me ages to find the button on the remote that said home currently have no sub, as i couldn;t get hold of the 5m of cable i needed...well i could have but i would have paid an extorionate amount of money for something that to all intents and purposes is a mono signal to the sub. I'm hoping it will arrive tomorrow. I finally managed to do the auto MCACC setup and its crisped everythnig up nicely. currently watching spider man (the new one) on sky.and the speakers are performing extremely well. the sound out of the kefs is beautifully clear. can hear the tiniest of sounds. looking forward to testing it with the sub hopefully tomorrow with the blacks ops II test. so far am very happy chappy. with a setup that should have cost just over a grand for the grand total of £400 thats AVR, speakers, stands, QED cable, LAN cable, HDMI cable, Twin Phono cable and 5 m of sub cable.
  17. ekona and zedrush would be my first ports of call. they know the 911's quiet well.
  18. It's something she wants and practical what could go wrong you say that but you should see the on going grief i get from my wife because i bought her pegs and a peg basket one year. and it wasn't even the cheap pegs either, it was really nice wooden ones. i even remember her saying oooo thats a nice cath kidston peg basket. which to me says "get it for me for christmas" how wrong i was.
  19. Well i got back from parents evening, ate dinner and then fell asleep. woke up got a rollocking from the wife as i hadn't set it up to her specification (everything hidden) compared to my specification (everything on show). spent a bit of time move subs around hidding them behind chairs, moving speakers. (now have one in each corner; as apposed to 2 either side the TV). got in a grump with the wife after getting bored of being told what to do. she went to bed and this is when i set too routing all the cables from their new location to the AVR. have now trimmed all the ends, and carefully wired them all up.(labelling as i went) now i can't fully test it as i need some more cables.i did try and get some on my way home but they didn;t have everything i needed so i'm going to a proper shop tomorrow afternoon and get it all then. i need 1 more HDMI to connect from the AVR to the TV and 5m of RCA male to Twin RCA male for connecting the sub. and a LAN cable for the networking function. and a video out RCA cable just incase my TV doesnt do ARC. so to do a quick test i managed to get a FM signal and the fronts crackled in so it seems they work. excited about a proper test tomorrow.
  20. i can;t wait to go set it up; just trying to work out if i should do it tonight or do the marking that desperatly needs doing for tomorrow. .....ok hifi setup it is lol
  21. my hand crafted aluminium dipstick, oil filler and coolant tops were £150 all in. why they can charge £160 for HKS i have no idea. they'll have had it manufactured else where, branded it. and flogged it for 3000% its original value
  22. did a quick cable length check and it looks like it will reasch with some to spare, so splicing is saved for another day. AMP arrived this evening, but i''m now back at work for parents evening. on way home going to pick up a LAN cable, HDMI cable, and a male to twin male RCA cable for the sub. as for first thing to play, it will probably be tested with the TV and then a movie as thats its primary role. but tomorrow while the wife is out, i shall run some music through it for a proper test
  23. its alright i'm going to be splicing cable together this weekend. got a fair amoun, but i think the rear right cable won';t reach so i'm going to splice an extension onto it.
