I may look into the BFD. I may be able to get a really good deal on it since I know a guy or two at two local music shops. We'll see.

Champagne taste on a beer budget. This was basically what I could afford, unless it was to be the only piece of my home theater that I upgrade. Can you blame me for wanting the most out of my money?

My main speakers are some very uhm...shall we say, mediocre Sony 8" 3-way bookshelves, and I don't think there is a crossover setting for my receiver. But the calibration tests are on the main disc.

Okay, I watched The Incredibles last night, WOW! :eek: First of all, the movie comes with this THX Calibration set of tests, and that was awesome, it helped me tweak the crossover and level for the sub, and also my picture needed *slight* adjustment, and voila! Excellent! This sub, musically, is...

UPDATE! It finally came! Overall it's not bad, great for the money, but I'm going to have to give it some more listening, and tweak the settings some, but overall it's not bad at all.

Guys, I'm mad! The UPS man just delivered my small box with a subwoofer cable, component cable, and free Parts Express catalog. But my subwoofer? Not here. And tracking them online says they're both out for delivery. I'm hoping they're making another run, otherwise I'm going to go down there...

Well guys, the sub should be here tomorrow (or technically, later today) and I'm REALLY excited, and very anxious. I've been holding off on renting certain movies because of my lack of subwoofer. I can't wait! I'll get a report up ASAP. By the way, I plan on putting this in a corner, but what...

He was referring to his JBL subwoofer.

Okay, so component video cables and subwoofer cables have no functional differences. But he was using a composite cable. Is there a difference there?

Yeah man, you just needed the proper cable, now it's just a matter of EQing everything.

I don't know if anyone caught this yet, but you're using a video cable to go to your sub, you should be using an audio cable.

My only experience with Celestion is that they make awesome guitar speakers. That's...all I can really say. :b

Oh man, I know about that thing! But I'm a musician, so I've seen it in mags, online, etc. I didn't know you guys were using it for your subs, may I ask why?

MikeyWeitz, I've been seeing that "BFD" on the forum, but I don't know what it stands for, care to clue me in?

eddieZEN, why do you regret getting the JBL sub?

Wow, under $400??? Even though it's only $125? :eek: I can't wait to get it, UPS says Monday but I'm getting worried. It arrived in Illinois yesterday and departed from there at about 1:45 pm, it's about 3:10 pm today and there's no update. :frowning:

It should be here by Monday!:D I ordered the 100w 10" finished sub, here's the link: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshow...number=300-632 I've read on here that it's probably the best for such a low amount of money, and since I'm a college kid, I went for it. I plan on upgrading it in a few...

I've decided to go with JBL instead, cheaper and I liked their sound just as much. :)

Oh no, by all means go ahead, its' fine with me. :)

RyanJE, I haven't abandoned this thread, I simply had a very busy day yesterday. Anyway, I've abandoned the buying of the Infinity speakers. I'm going to go listen to the JBLs today, and if I like them I think I'm going to go ahead and order them online. They're almost $200 cheaper overall for...

I was thinking of the...I can't remember, E60 or E80 and matching center against the...I think Primus 250 and matching center. I'm a rock guy myself, so the JBLs may be the better choice for me, I was supposed to go audition them today but I didn't get around to it, maybe Monday.

I've been pointed this direction by a few you guys, and after checking them out at www.bhphotovideo.com I've discovered it's almost $200 cheaper to go with JBL over the Infinity Primus series, which was my previous choice. How do the JBLs sound, in comparison with the Infinity speakers? Thanks...

I've looked at internet companies, but I'm not going to spend the same amount of money on an internet company if I cant' hear it, not at this point in time, I just don't have the funds, it'd have to be much cheaper than the Infinitys.

Well I'm not too concerned with my surrounds, I have some cheap Sony bookshelves, and from what I notice, there isn't much coming from the back anyway, so I'm not worried with spending much on those. I'll upgrade them later on, but for now they're going to have to do. I'm getting about $1200...

Which Fluance setup do you have? What do you like and dislike about it? My needs...hmm, I watch a lot of movies, mainly comedy, horror, action, sci-fi. I watch a lot of sports, and occasionally basic TV, my roommate watches a lot of MTV, E! crap like he's in high school or something, but I...

I saw on Circuit City's website that they're having a small sale on the Primus series from Infinity, so I decided to stop by and listen. I liked what I heard quite a bit! Here are the links: center channel mains That would total out to roughly $600 with tax, for all 3 speakers. Now...

Okay, so I'll hook up the cable box (yes, it is HD) directly to the TV, and use the DVD player and PS2 through the receiver. So would you recommend against the refurbished Onkyo? Should I go for a new one instead? I had a thread a week or two ago on here and lots of people suggested the refurb...

www.jr.com sells the refurbished ones for $150, and shipping is less than $30, you can't beat that. But I've got a question, here's the back panel of the unit (click rear view): http://www.us.onkyo.com/zoom.cfm?cla...er&m=TX-SR502# Now I'll have 3 main sources: PS2 (Component video...

Wow, that 1014 looks awfully impressive, and it seems to sell at around $350 on eBay, which doesn't sound like a bad deal at all. Hmm, decisions decisions...

I can't find that receiver on Pioneer's website :confused:
