Again guys, thanks a lot for the help. I'm on a few forums, but damn, you guys just go out of your way. Just letting you know it's appreciated. Jordan

No, I know the impedence shifts along with the frequency, it's just that usually, the NOMINAL impedence does matter, at least in the car audio world. Ever try to run a 1 ohm load on a 2 ohm stable amp for more than a minute or two? NOT pretty. I just see 75% of the receivers rated for 8 ohm...

OK, Ubid screwed me, claimed my towers were 8 ohm, and they're 6. Will most receivers (budget) be stable to that low of an impedance? I was looking at the Denon 1802, the Onkyo 494 and 595, and the Kenwood VR-509. The rest of my speakers (sats and center) are 8 ohm. Jordan

The wholesale thing... I'm not buying it wholesale anymore, since I'm buying Jim's Onkyo, but a friend of a friend owns an electronics shop. As for the center not matching the towers, trust me, I know... I WAS going to get the BIC DV-52s to match the center, but I got a hell of a deal on...

Like I said, I'm probably getting it wholesale. I'm guessing at the $200-$225 range, just taking into account the usual dealer markups and whatnot. Jordan

Nobody? Wow, must be pretty crappy speakers.... Jordan

People actually enjoyed that movie? I saw it for free, and I STILL wanted my money back. =) Too bad Mystery Science Theater isn't still around, this would have been a great movie for them to heckle.... And Freddy Got Fingered, of course. =) Jordan

Thanks Abel, but I think I'm going to go with Jim's Onkyo 575x. I can live without the DPL2 for that price. =) Now, anyone have any opinions on the speakers I'm getting? (They're WAY back in my first post...lol) Jordan

LOL Donny, you're right about that.... Car needs upgrading (Have everything in my closet), computer needs upgrading, H/T needs upgrading... What did I forget? Oh yeah, dinner! $hit! =) As for the W3/W6/W7 thing, have you heard the W7 yet? Oh my god.... I mean, I would NEVER spend...

OK, thanks Jason. I was looking at the specs at www.onecall.com and they listed DPL2 for the 509, and not for the 507. Sorry :b Jordan

For those who were looking at the SVS, check out www.audiomobile.com and look at the pics for the MASS subs. Now, I hate the company, and the owner's a jacka$$, but tell me they don't look almost exactly alike, for what, $600 less? =) 145Db with one sub and 800-1000w isn't out of the question...

I saw the SVS, Jim, it didn't impress me. That basket/magnet is a common thing in car audio, I think it's the Venezuela basket out of TC Sounds' factory. I'll get you some links for that IDMax so you see what I mean. =) Jordan

Jim, looks like your friend does decent work. =) I'm looking to get my new install done soon, maybe I'll check their shop out. I was going to go to Sounds Impossible in Highlands, as they have a great rep, but hey, never can have too many options. =) Jordan

LOL Donny, no kidding... You don't even realise what my head has been plotting for furture upgrades for my house. Have you ever heard the new JL W7 or Image Dynamics IDMax? Best subs I've ever heard, with the W7 getting the nod, but also twice the price. These things would be INSANE in a...

How about the VR-509 to the Onkyo 575 that Jim is selling? The only thing missing from the Onkyo is DLP2, it seems, does that make that much of a difference? Jordan
