5.1.. They are Infinity Primus 153's, bookshelfs, direct radiating.

I think they will provide good enough protection unless someone takes a knife to them and if that happens we have bigger issues than the speakers lol.

Well, just worried about the whole speaker itself lol. Kids like to poke speakers lol..

Here's a peek at my install, the front half anyways.. It looks cool with the grills off but unfortunately they don't stay off..

I think im good where they are at.. If I spend any more time playing with speakers n stuff my wife is going to get a little jealous.. If she isn't already. :D

Sweet that's where I have them!

should the rear surrounds be ear level too? I have them about 12" too high if so, sounds good though.

so I left the Sub Level to -1dB and bumped up the Gain... back to thumping now... very nice. I hope Im doing this right lol.. I guess as long as the sub isnt distorting or bottoming out it is ok right?

Ugggh lol.. I was told exactly the opposite over at AVR in the outlaw sub owners thread.. They say "once you get the Audyssey to set the Sub Trim as close to 0bd (in my case I got it to -1dB) then so not touch the gain on the sub again and use the receiver to adjust it.. lol..

Well I got my sub level down to -1dB in Audyssey.. I had to put the gain on the sub all most all the way turned down, it's at about 2.. Is my bass impressive now, NO.. No wall shaking seat vibrating bass now. To get it back to even being close to impressive I have to run it at least at 10dB...

Got it down to -1db but the volume knob is on like 1.75 and with the volume on the receiver turned up to -20dB the bass is hardly there... I can't get good bass now unless I turn the Bass level in the receiver to 10.dB Sounds great there.. Is this bad?? If I turn the volume to -4 db it's pumping...

I guess I'm totally electronically illiterate. My receiver is only 80w per channel and I don't even know for sure if that includes the sub channel.. My receiver isn't pushing enough juice to the sub even at high volume to bring the sub even close to it's potential so if the gain on the sub is on...

Wow I found a good forum about my specific sub over at AVS.. I've been running it WAY too hot. General consensus is the gain should be set to 2-3 on the sub.. Sounds crazy though, what's the sense in having a 350w amp if you can't even turn it up??

Cool, thanks for all the help guys.

So say I run Audyssey again and get it tweaked to within +-3 and then the bass isn't loud enough.. Would I use the receiver to turn it up or the volume know on the sub?
