Re: Hooking up Subwoofer with Class D amplifier

I would say, just try it. If it hums, you know that there is a ground loop to deal with. If not - proceed to the enjoyment stage.

Re: Salad Bowl Speakers

Looking good
Looking forward to the measurements too - want to know if the reflector idea could help my salad bowls. Not sure if 1cm is too small to have any effect at audio frequencies, but will wait and see

Re: Salad Bowl Speakers

With the IKEA ones, I couldn’t glue them together because of whatever they were coated with. I taped a sheet of sandpaper to the floor and put the bowls upside down on it then rubbed them until I had a flat on the rim.
