So I've been using my Velodyne Eq-max 12 for quite a few years, and I feel it's time for an upgrade of sorts, the subwoofer is used for a mix of movies, gaming and music, so something that would work well with that would be ideal. I do enjoy the sound of my JL Audio 12w3v3 in a sealed enclosure...

But have a problem I need help with, when hitting the stop button or the record reaching it's end. The tone arm doesn't automatically...

I found out today that I'm a victim of some really strange affirmative shopping. Was planning to install some Focal splits on my Pajero when I found out someone liberated one of the midrange drivers.    So I was thinking, maybe I should try to make the best of my situation by building/or...
