    2 subwoofer questions

    >>You could do it that way, but it’s a waste of cabling. That’s because the two inputs of all subs are internally summed. Thus, since you already have a cable going from the receiver to one input of the first sub, all you need to do is run a cable from the other input to the second sub.

    2 subwoofer questions

    I have recently bought a Yamaha YST-SW215. (I have a modest HT) It’s a nice little sub with good pop. I was thinking of possibly getting another (Best Buy has them for $99.00). My question is with how it would be connected to my receiver combined with the other. Would it work if I connected...

    Help me decide on a sub....

    I'm looking for something entry level (less than $200.00). I'm considering the following: MTX SW2 (12" 100 watt, 35hz-160hz, front firing) Yamaha YST-SW215 (8" 120 Watt 30hz-200hz, down firing) The only thing that concerns me about the MTX is that it is unshielded, and I only have a...

    Video-shielding for a sub- How important?

    Maybe 4 feet away? I can move it further but it may be difficult because the room is small. I would have to move some furniture around.

    Video-shielding for a sub- How important?

    I am thinking about buying the MTX SW-2 sub at Best Buy. I visited their website and I can't find where it states the sub is video-shielded. The owner's manual is available in .pdf format on the site, and even that doesn't state if it is. Just wondering how important video shielding is, and...

    Cinematic Mulligans - List Five Films You Wish Someone Would Remake

    I couldn't agree with Josh more on the Phantom Menace. Drop Jake Lloyd, please, include Darth Maul for more than the 15 minutes he was allotted, replace Liam Neeson with Sean Connery (Liam, great actor- not in a SW film though)and obliterate Jar Jar. That's just the casting mind you. Others...

    Spider-Man 2 (2004)

    Loved it. I thought it was great. If I gave my reasons why , I'd just be re-hashing what everyone else has said. The one thing that irked me was a few of Harry's comments at the fusion demonstration. Like when Spidey saves him from the flying steel he goes "This doesn't change anything!"...

    Bose Info

    I bought my Bose 301 Series III's back in 1995. At THAT time (at least where I lived), there was no Best Buy, Circuit City, or Internet as we know it today. The store I bought them from had on their display floor:Cerwin-Vega, crappy Sony and Technics speakers and maybe a JBL set. A total of...

    Confused about widescreen TVs

    I was reading the Master burn-in thread under display devices and found I knew less than I thought I did about widescreen TVs. I was hoping I could find answers to a few questions. Am I to understand that if a movie is in widescreen format, be it 16:9, 2.35:1 or 1.85:1 aspect ratio, there is...

    Any news on the new Playstation PSX?

    Surprising. I've checked the Sony websites, and seen nothing. I'm not sure if a TiVo service is an option on it, but if so, it sounds too good to be true.

    Advice on speakers, please

    Alright. I have just joined this forum and I'm looking for some speaker advice. I have been reading many threads blasting Bose speakers, which I happen to own (301 series III purchased back in 1995 and the VCS-10 center channel). I don't claim to be an audiophile/home theater expert by any...

    Any news on the new Playstation PSX?

    Did anyone hear any updated news on the PSX system (the one with the 120GB hard drive, DVD recorder and game console all wrapped up into one)? It was announced in May, but I haven't heard a peep about it. Estimated release date is Q1 2004.
