Thanks for the input guys! Will.Ma - Thats what I expected to happen with mine, but it doesnt seem to work that way. I played a loud 80z sine wave through my front speakers, and I was not able to hear a difference when I had the sub crossover above or below that frequency. I also tried 60hz...

Thats what im trying to find out. What frequency does this begin at? What frequencies are blocked when in the "small" setting?

Yamaha RX-V757 receiver... I need help understanding the "Small" vs "Large" setting, regarding the front main speakers... Ive read the manual front to back, and cant find anywhere where it mentions what kind of crossover is used when you have your speakers set to "Small".. Correct me if im...

Thanks for the replies! I did look at the Dayton Reference HF series, but those are only offered in 4 ohm, whereas I am wanting to have two 8 ohm subs in parallel on my amp, (bridged mono @ 4ohm). Although, one single 12" sub (4 ohm) would be adequate for my room size, but its too late now...

Can you recommend a decent equalizer, for this purpose? What does BFD stand for? I fully plan on doing the 2 sub system setup, however I would still like to know what extra goodies are available if I need to make some tweeks... My 18" sub box isnt made for the higher bass notes. Its...

Should the center channel speaker go above or below my 100" screen? I have 20" below the screen, and plenty of space above the screen. If the center channel is above the screen, it will be over 6 foot above the ground, and about 3 feet above my front main speakers (on stands). Im thinking a...

http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshow...20&ctab=1#Tabs I ordered 2 of those. Im gonna get started with the enclosures now.. :) Ported at 50hz vs sealed.. hmmm.. only way to know whats best is to try them both! I am using a Kicker KX2 Active crossover (with a 120v mod) to split up the sub...

Im looking to buy 2 more subs for my home theater system. These subs will be receiving a 50hz-120hz signal (low pass 120hz, high pass 50hz, 18db/oct crossovers). They need to sound good in this range, Im not concerned about how they sound below 50hz. Im only looking for the speakers...

I have it hooked up as shown. Works fine. Thanks.

OK, easy enough. LOL, yes, i can solder. Thanks

Sorry, I need to clarify. The receiver only has RCA outs. The amplifier only has XLR in. Do I buy a RCA patch cord and put an XLR connector on? Or do I buy an XLR cable and put a RCA connector on? Or is there a better cable to use? The RCA output is unbalanced of course... Thanks Phil's!

Need to make a 6 foot XLR to RCA cable, what kind of cable should I use? This is for the AVR's preout into external amplifier connection, unbalanced. THanks

Well I bought the infamous OPPODigital OPDV971. Hopefully I havent made a bad decision...

First of all, thanks! I am new to this HT stuff, bare with me.. I am shopping for a DVD player for my Optoma H31 projector (DLP, 480p native, DVI-I with HDCP or component video input or S-Video) Should I be using a 480p player with this? or something better and let it covert it down? Ive...

oh sorry, you can move this to the tweaking and connections forum if you want to..

I am new to this HT stuff, this is my first setup. I purchased a Yamaha RX-V757 receiver (7.1 , 100w x 7) and I purchased a Crown CE1000 amp (2/1 channel bridgable, 1100 x 1 @ 4 ohms bridged) for my 18" avalanche sub. Now, the receiver has a single rca jack for the sub output, but the amp does...

Your Avalance sub is a dual 2 ohm sub, so make sure you sub amp can handle a 4 ohm load (bridged mono).. that Crown XLS402 might get a little hot at 4 ohm mono. Let us know how it turns out. (I just purchased a crown CE 1000 for my avalanche 18".. havent hooked it up yet, but its rated for...

nice videos... but its nothing new to me.. :p) my van does the "hair trick", but it also does the "windshield spider trick", lol but it gets expensive :frowning:

I'm going to try out the Ascendant Avalanche 18's... x2 :) Going to place the order tomorrow (hopefully they still have some 18's available, if not I will do 15's) I will keep everyone updated on how they work out, and I may be back if I have any questions. You guys have been great! (this place...

Well since money is not an issue, I will go ahead and buy actual HT subs, so if you can recommend some good 15" or 18" HT subs that do well with 500watts RMS per sub, I'd like to hear about them. I can do up to $300 or so per sub (driver only)...?? Suggestions for amplifiers are welcome also...

Thank you everone for all comments! These subs are made by a company named "Shocker Audio" in Ohio. It is a one-guy show, and his company was also known as "Atomic Thunder", but a name change was needed due to lawsuit... Company was created out of interest for SPL in the car audio world...

Thanks for the reply. I understand the SPL levels will be nothing like what can be reached in a vehicle. With this home theater, I am not going for SPL... Its just that I have ALOT (25 or so) extra subs laying around that I would like to put to use, and if one of these will work ok with for HT...

First of all, let me make it clear that I am one of those bass-heads from the car audio world. I am just now getting involved in the world of home theaters, and I need some suggestions on a dedicated sub amp for my system. I plan to use two 15's (Shocker SS 15's, 400rms each.. little subs in...
