    Speaker Placement & Mounting

    I have all my speakers JBL s-38's except the center mounted at ceiling level. I used the B-tech b77 mounts. Works really well. Sounds great to me and the wife is happy there aren't speakers all over the floor, except of course the sub. Jimmy

    HELP Nasty Hum from Sub

    Thanks guys for your thoughts. I checked the cable first and it was tight. I then hooked it up to a different outlet and it still had a loud hum. This was without being hooked up to the rec. at all. So now it's in the shop, should be about 2 weeks I was told.
