A couple years ago I came up with an idea on how to build a really cool in-wall speaker system that allowed the end-user to install any raw driver-tweeter combo they could imagine. Then, to my surprise, Parts Express began offering the exact same thing, which they call the In-wall Mounting System. With the concepts being identical, I can’t help but kick myself for not trying to get my idea into the marketplace sooner. At any rate, I’ve decided to pick up a set of (3) of the IMS-711<\/a> mounting systems to build into a set of 2-way speakers for my master suite making up the Left-Center-Right channels of a new Bedroom Home Theater. The speakers will consist of Dayton’s Reference Series 6″ Aluminum cone woofer and their 1″ Dome Tweeter. Both drivers offer excellent performance at a reasonable price and to my knowledge, no one has built these drivers into an in-wall, yet. I bought a set of these speakers last year with the intent to rebuild a small pair of bookshelf speakers. Well the project never really took off, and I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with these drivers ever since. I’ve got a cheap 27″ LCD HDTV mounted on the wall now with just a DVD\/VCR combo connected to it. The plan will be to upgrade to a 32″ or 37″ LCD in the near future, but now I want to get in the new in-walls and a decent 5.1 channel receiver. For the sub I’m debating on trying out the new 8″ RS sub<\/a> from Parts Express as well in a small ported box with a 250W amp. All I need is something small and inconspicuous to fill in the low end. It looks like a great little sub and could be a lot of fun to build into a system.<\/p>\n

Anyway, so that’s it for now. On another note, I’m getting a new Futaba radio to satisfy my R\/C plane addiction that recently has kicked in again. I’m still getting a lot of great flying time out of my Super Cub<\/a>. It’s been a really great first plane, but I’m anxious for something more. I recently discovered that a friend of mine who lives in my same neighborhood is actually into R\/C planes and flying. He builds planes from scratch and has this super-cool 22″ wing that just screams. So I’ve been looking into getting a flying wing, these things are insane, and can do crazy spins and soar as fast as 90 mph. It might be a bit much for a second plane, but they look like a lot of fun. The one I’ve been checking out is the SpeedWing 250 MkIII<\/a>. It looks like one of the better setups out there, and you can go brushless for as little as $50. But getting a new plane means getting a new radio, so that’s the first step. Tower Hobbies has the Futaba 6EXP which just came out for $129 which as far as I can tell, should suit my needs for a long time no matter which plane I plan on getting. Should be fun, the hardest part though is deciding what to spend money on first, the speaker stuff or the R\/C stuff. Decisions, decisions…<\/p>\n
