    Measuring Speaker Ohms

    My problem is that my receiver is shutting down (49TX) and the technical service guy seemed to think it might be due to a short or that my speakers are getting down to less than 3 ohms. I am not a techie so I am looking for help.

    Measuring Speaker Ohms

    Can someone tell me how to measure the speaker ohms to tell whether or not I have a short in one of my speakers? Do I just measure across the +/- posts of the speaker with an ohm meter while driving the speakers to see what ohms I am getting. What should the reading look like for a 8 ohm...

    I have had a pair now for just over 3 weeks and I mounted them in the sheetrock only and they haven't been an issue so far. At what height should these be set at and should they be directly on either side of where you are sitting?

    Which Subwoofer?

    Actually after reading about the SVS subs here, I think I may try one of those over the 2200 but I need to decide which one works best. Is the Ultra CS with the Samson 1000 amp 20-39 a better choice if I could afford rather than the 20-39 PCI? My room is 14' wide by 17' long with a 10ft ceiling.
