Minor upgrades to the home media system today, in the form of Sonos. I'm working from home this week and had the thought that it'd be great if I had music in the living area with me. Initial thought was that I could simply get a Sonos control unit for my theatre system and crank that up, so off I went to West Coast HiFi (I used to work there during uni). Ended up walking out not only with a control unit for the theatre system, but a Boost unit, a Playbar and a sub for the living area too...oops lol

I'm moving in with some friends in the coming weeks and thought the Playbar and sub would be a great little unit to put in my bedroom for watching tv and music in bed, but for now it's in my living room in the current house. Man, this thing cranks! For what it is I'm pretty impressed! That little sub is unreal for its size. Almost feels like it's louder than my Focal sub in the theatre haha. Not exactly a cheap setup, the Sonos gear, but so simple to use and the integration with Wi-Fi and streaming services like my Google Play Music and Pandora accounts is fantastic!

Excuse the makeshift setup in the living room haha.

Never had any issues...I'm only with them for another couple of weeks until I move into the new place anyway.

Being able to look around, look through the corners, and be immersed in actually being in the car/world - and to actually believe it and be there, rather than just play the game

Am sold - not an emotional or verbal guy, but I was cheering and calling out through that section.

f*ck yeah - am still trying to wipe the grin off my face :D :D :D

Sounds farking fantastic. I'll get a WA cruise thread started and we'll head around and all have a go!

These just arrived today. Premiss pump and Kinugawa turbine housing. The housing was packed shmick with the Instapak foam that everyone seems to be using now! I had dual 15in subs delivered and they were packed the same without a single mark even though they were upsidedown....

Also got a HTPC very cheap as the bloke I bought it off must have to much money!

Yes I thought it looked a little small also and believe it requires shaping regardless. I also was able to make the flapper catch on the back edge of the hole but this was only while pushing on the flapper whilst closing it! I'll either take a pic or a video to show what I mean but either way let me know how your tuner goes with it and controlling boost... Cheers
