Thanks fellas.

First, I want to say this site is amazing and it has so much info. Right now I am over loaded on what to do with purchase of the 4805. My wife agreed with my decision and I am ready to take the plunge. First a little about my newly finished basement: The drop ceiling is 7ft tall, I have no...

Thank you for all your responses. If anybody has good contacts in the IT industry I can send my resume to you to pass on. Again, thanks for the great responses. How is HT in AZ. When I was there before I was so busy playing golf that I did not get a chance to visit any stores. Jeff

Hello, I will be visiting my in-laws in Phoenix, Az area (Chandler I think?) and I would like to know who lives there and get your take living there year round. Here are few more questions I have: 1) Summer weather...difficult, too hot? 2) Job market (IT job market, I work at Ford Motor...

Fellas, I noticed that this has been a big topic here. I have seen the mustang that will released next year. The concept is just a teaser to what it will look like in the future. I have seen the real 2005 mustang and it is the best mustang since the 1968 design. I am looking forward to buying...

Thanks for responding everybody, Do not get me wrong I really want a big screen TV but here are the reasons why I do not think it is worth buying a new big screen: Cons 1. New component cables 2. Progressive scan DVD player 3. Sat (Direct TV or DBS) 4. new component rack 5. HDTV is...

Hello all, My wife gives me the ok to get a big screen (65") and I am not sure I want to buy one? I feel like it is a waste to buy a big screen because: 1. not much HDTV programming (I know there will be in the very near future) 2. not sure what model to pick (Toshiba, Mits, Hitachi...

Steve, That was very funny but I will NOT send my second SVS to you. I love these subs!!!! Good laugh! My wife has very little to say about the basement because she gets the main floor and I get the basement. Our basement is pretty big so I have plenty of space for my stuff. Don't you...

All, Thanks for your suggestions and I will try them all. Jeff

All, Thanks for all your help and I will try all your suggestions. Jeff

Jim J, I will try that out with the speaker thing. Two SVS subs are awesome (one is very good). I like a lot of bass and but I feel it more with two subs than one. That is one thing I notices right off the bat. That picture is not to scale. jeff

Frank Zimkas, The only way to get reference sound from a sub is that you must use two. I have two 20-39 CS+ subs and it made a big difference from one. When I listened to the Haunting the bass is strong and deep. When I had one sub it started to clip but two it did not. Movies that have a lot...

Hi everybody, I am in the process of finishing my basement and I am having a problem with the placement of my rear speakers. Look at the picture attached. The main problem has to with the rear center speakers. My room is about 14 ft. wide and 27 ft long. Do you think one rear center speaker...

Looks like a second sub will happen in the near future but it will have to wait after our vacations. Anyway, how much is the difference for TWO 20-39CS+ subs vs. one. Tom V. (svs guru) says it is 6db. Is that a big increase? Where did you place sub (together, either sides of tv)? Did you have...

Brian, I think you are right when it comes to adding a second sub. Now I have to convince the wife that I need another one! This is going to tough to convince her but I may have to use my birthday and xmas to get it. Damn, I hate this hobby sometimes. Vince, I will reset the volume to...

Vince, Since you think I increased the speaker setting too much do you think I should re-calibrate? I set my volume on the receiver to -15 (Denon 3801) and calibrated all my speakers to 75db. Should I set the volume to 00 and then recalibrate everything to 75db? Jeff R.

Hey guys, The only movie were I feel it the "pant leg" thing is Jurassic Park III or The Haunting. U571 is pretty good but not like JPIII. Does everybody use the plug in their SVS sub? How do you open the grill? Vince, "PS: Jeff, with your individual speaker settings running so hot...

Barry BB- -15 is my reference for calibration. Here are my settings... I set my volume on my Denon to -15 and calibrated everything to around 75-77 on my SPL meter. Here are my channel volume settings: r=+5 l=+4 c=+1 rs=+8 ls=+8 sub=+1 (sub is few db's higher) it seems prety good...

Hi, I am thinking of getting the SVS "Black box" because sometimes I do not feel like I am getting the most out of my SVS 20-39CS+ sub/Samson amp 1000. I do not have the "pant leg" moving type bass like some people have said at the is forum. I have the "Denon 3801" were some people have had...

Sal, I have that combination and I did not have any problems. I also use an external amp for (bi-amped) my front speakers. I use the receiver for my rear speakers because I think an external amp make a big difference. Hope this helps. Jeff Rice

Hello, I just purchased a SVS 20-39CS+ w/Samson 1000 watt amp. I orginally had a Velodyne CT-120. When I first hooked (before calibration) it up and took a listed I was not impressed like everybody was talking about in this forum. Packaging? Packaging of the sub was first rate. I realized...

Joel, Thanks for the reply. What volume do you watch movies on your denon(-10, etc...)? My SVS is nout hugley loud but you can feel the bass much more than my old Velodyne CT-120. When you got your SVS was it night/day to your old sub or did it take some time to get used to the new...

Joel, I set my volume on my Denon to -15 and calibrated everything to around 75-77 on my SPL meter. Here are my channel volume settings: r=+5 l=+4 c=+1 rs=+8 ls=+8 sub=-2 Is this correct or seem correct? My system: front speakers: Polk RT800's (bi-amped) center: CS400...

Joel, I just got my SVS 20-390CS+ with the samson 1000 amp. I have the Denon 3801 hooked up to an amp, and front speakers bi-amped. When you calibrated your system with the SPL meter, what volume on receiver did you set it at to calibrate(ex. -15,-10, etc...)? What are volume settings per...

Ron, Thanks for the tip. Why did you turn in the both of your SVS subs? Jeff

Hi, I just received my SVS 20-39CS+ with the Samson 1000 watt amp. I have a Denon receiver (3801) and I would like to know from Denon owners what there settings are for the sub. Also I would like to know what Samson's settings you guys use for your system? I just need some direction because I...

Hello everybody, After months of reading about SVS subwoofers and your testimonials, I am came to the conclusion to order my first SVS sub. I ordered the (1)20-39CS+ with Samson 1000watt amp combo and I cannot wait until I get it. Does anybody know how long it takes to get your sub? Ron or...

Thanks Bruce!

Neil, thanks for the info. Bruce K......I have a question about rear sound information in movies. When I sit near the rear of my room and I listen to JP III the dinosaur kick off some serious bass in the rear and front, but you should not feel only from the front. For example, when some crazy...
