everything worked fine for me. I just turned up the gain a little bit on the SVS.

Scott: any luck with finding that info for me? Simon: The pioneer comes with a mic.

McKinley: I couldn't be happier with my purchase. If I had to do it all over again, I'd still buy the exact same speakers. With a little research you should be able to find a ton of reviews. Here's one: http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volum...ub-4-2002.html AFAIK, M&K actually listens...

Scott, i'm relatively new to all this. In what menu do I set the sub to PLUS and where do I get a chance to increase the volume on the LFE channel?

Thanks for info everyone. I calibrated this morning then turned up the gain. I'm one happy SVS owner! This thing just pounds!

I just hooked up my M&K K7 left, center and right speakers and my SVS 25-31PCi sub to my Pioneer Elite VSX-45tx. This is all new equipment I have acquired inthe past few weeks. After hooking everything up, the M&K speakers sound great. I haven't done any calibration yet. One reason for me to...

I visited my local hifi dealer the other week and got some of the worst customer service in my life. I ended up visitng their website and saw they had a "customer feedback form". For fun, I filled it out with my customer complaint. Amazingly, the next day i received an email from the store...

Thanks for the info guys. Looks like the best way to go is: 1) have the speaker cable run through the ceiling 2) install a wall plate on the ceiling and connect the wire to it 3) Mount the speaker mount to the ceiling joist. 4) connect a piece of wire from the wall/ceiling plate to the...

can you run UF or burial cable through walls?

what is "UF electrical cable"? I'm a complete newbie to this. I need to have cable that is weather proof since a portion of it will be run outside around my house, then fed back into my house for a set of ceiling mounted surrounds. I was told I shoudl use 12 gauge wire since the run it 40'...

I need to run speaker cable around the outside of my house then back into my house for ceiling mounted speakers. I have been told to run burial cable since it is weatherproof and will work for speaker cable. All burial cable I've seen is black in color. This won't work for me as it won't...

Thanks for replies everyone! I just picked up the dayton banana plugs from partsexpress since I was ordering speaker stands from them also.

I have a Pioneer Elite VSX-45tx and have no idea what type of banana plugs to get. I've read all types of reports saying that some banana plugs are incompatible with certain receivers. Surely someone must have a Pioneer Elite receiver that can tell me from experience which banana plugs to...

I started another thread on this topic, but it was closed since it was a duplicate thread :) In my other thread, John Garcia wrote:

Tim, thanks for the info! Looks like hanging from just the sheetrock isn't going to be what I want to do. There is no attic about the room.. I am just getting someone to fish a wire through my ceiling and out at the points where I will mount the speakers. Definitely don't want to put plywoof...

Chuck: Thanks! I'm far from a handyman, and am actually getting a friend to do this for me most likely. Do you have an example of: "remodel ceiling fan mount with hangar bracket which "stretches" between studs/joists" and "remodel light fixture box" ?

It is my place, I own it :)

I need to mount 6 lbs speakers from the ceiling but hte position may be such that there is no ceiling joint to attach the ceiling mount to. I was thinking of using Omnimount ceiling mounts since they are inexpensive compared to other mounts I"ve seen. However, I'm not sure with this ceiling...

I'm going to be running cable for my rear surround speakers. Since my townhouse has no crawlspace underneath, and no attic, the easiest way is for me to run a cable around the exterior then back into my townhouse on the other side (I am an end unit). I can tuck the speaker wire nicely...

M&K K5 for front M&K K4 tripoles for surrounds SVS 25-31PCi this is approx $1250

Great choice on M&K. I just decided myself on a set of K7 for the fronts with K4 tripoles for the rears. This combined with an SVS 25-31Pci, i'm hoping my HT will be killer. This is my first HT setup, so I'm anxiously awaiting all my pieces to get delivered!

Jim: thanks for the tips. AFAIK, ceiling joists normally run parallel teh shorter length of the home. Hopefully this is accurate in my case or else i'll be faced with the bad situation you described with running a wire perpendicular to the joists :frowning: I have contacted a local...

Kevin: Unfortunately, I have no accessible attic space above the room, nor a crawlspace under the room. It would just be a friggin' mess to have me fool around with this and have to buy all the tools :)

Not being a handyman myself, I want to hire someone to run speaker wire for my rear surround speakers. I want to ceiling mount a pair of M&K K4 tripoles for the rear. (I am also considering in-walls as well, but I have another thread started on that topic). Question is generally who should I...

I was going to get teh M&K K7 for my front stage (Left,center,right) and M&K K4 tripoles for the rear surrounds. I have heard this combination and have been blown away by the sound. I was goign to ceiling mount the K4 tripoles since my room shape is so weird. (Here is a link to an...

Don: What I'm asking is would the warranty be void if I sell the receiver to someone else? I have both teh 3803 and 45tx on delivery to my house and I only need one of them. Pioneer's website states clearly that the warranty is tranferable to subsequent owners as long as they have the...

Update: The Denon 3803 is on its way to me, but I also have a Pioneer Elite 45tx also. I got the Pioneer 45tx for $599 + $40 shipping from an authorized dealer in wisconscin. Apparantly he's trying to clear them out and this is the best price I've seen them for. I'm likely going to keep...

well I want to be absolutely sure that i can xfer the warranty to someone else before I open the 3803, otherwise I can't return it to 6ave.com easily. Also,I'm not expecting to get my speakers until well into december which complicates things! I'll be holding onto these 2 receivers for quit...

Update: I decided on a Pioneer 45tx. I bought it from a pioneer authorized dealer in Wisconscin (HiFi Haven) for $599 + $40 shipping/insurance. This was brand new, in box, full warranty.
