Alright thats a good thing to know. I have a radio shack meter but I will have to plot the response in my room. Thanks for the advice

I just moved into a new place and have a few questions about my subs. I have two svs pb-10 nsd in a pretty small room. Before I moved I had these co-located which made it easier to get them in phase. They sounded great. Now I have seperated them to make them less visible in the room. I have them...

Yup im going to make them myself. Made speaker stands that look pretty good. I will just stain the new ones so they match. Thanks for the help. I always get some good ideas

I am going to get the new SVS STS-01's for my mains but they are not very tall. I have my seating on a riser and in order to get the tweeter up to ear level I think I will need to put them on individual pedestals that are about a foot square and about a foot or a foot and a half tall. I was just...

wow that sounds like a plan. The apc is just for my subs which are away from my main system and in the main system. In the main system power conditioner all the indicator light are on (which is good) but when I unplug the CATV coax from the back of the tv the wiring ok light goes out and the...

I just received a H15 power conditioner and I plugged it in and everything works great but the "wiring ok" button is not lit up. My understanding is that this might be a big problem and it will be in the walls and not something I can fix by myself. My question is, can this be anything that...

Can the hum from a ground loop destroy my subs or is it something that is just annoying?

Could this also be caused by me plugging my subs into two surge protectors that use the third grounding plug? If this is another cause is there anything I can do with this that would still have the protection of the surge protector but without the hum. I am also using pretty cheap belkin sub...

Yeah I read about things like the cheater plug but would that work since it is just the cable line coming in. I listened to it again and it doesnt seem to be doing it in standby mode but it does do it when the song is paused and the sub is still in the on position. Im am wondering if it really...

I just got a second pb10-nsd and it seems like there is a problem with my wiring. When the subs are in standby mode they buzz a little. Im not really sure if this was happening before with one or maybe I just didnt hear it. I have them plugged into two different outlets and both of them buzz. It...

"One option that is also under $400.00 and is automatic setup is the VLSI Anti-Mode 8033B. Available for direct shipping from Finland. It is truly "plug and play," with setup taking approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Made a significant difference in my room. There is a fairly significant thread about...

I just read over his guide at home theater shack and I have a y cable ready for the twin subs. So in order to use this I will just run one sub cable from my reciever to the bfd and use the adapter, then use another adapeter and use the y-cable attached to the two subs and then to the two subs? I...

Yeah I was thinking about that but I only paid about $800 for my subs and I probably wont have that kind of money for a few months which will be outside of there preorder price. So the price for the sub eq would be the same as the subs themselves. Do you think this would be overkill. The...

Hi everyone, I have one pb10-nsd and just placed an order for a second one. With the backorder it should be here in a few weeks. I have never had two subs before but I know how to hook it up and everything. The problem I think I am going to run into is big peaks and nulls that I am already...

Yup I just got that pb10 and was planning on getting another so I decided to get another. In my small room this should be devastating. Now I really have to upgrade my speakers and everything. Oh well, thats just the fun in home theater.

I just got a pb10-nsd and then right after that they went out of stock. So from now until april 3rd the pb10 is $399 and until the middle of march the pb12 is something around $550. so if you were looking at these this would be a good time to buy. I love mine and now that they are under $400 it...

I just bought a svs pb10-nsd and it should be arriving today. Right now I have all of my AV equipment plugged into a power console and that works great and gives me security. The one thing the I dont feel safe about is my subwoofer. It is not located near my TV stand but I do have another plug...

I already have a PS3 and an onkyo reciever. I was woundering if I would see any difference in getting a designated CD player like the Sony SCD-CE595besides the better controls over PS3 playback. Right now I only have my PS3 hooked up with anolog cables. I know the optical output on the CD player...

Im sorry to bring this thread up again but I have been looking around on different forums and was a little confused. With speaker sensitivity isnt it a fact that, for example, you have a speaker that is 85db/watt/metter it will take that speaker twice as power to reach 88db. The speakers I have...

alright thanks alot. was worried that all the wattage ratings for the speaker and everything had something to do with the clipping but im glade you guys straightened that out. I dont turn up the volume that loud so I guess I wont have any pronlem with whatever speakers I get. Thanks alot guys

so my amp reciever is 75wpc. from what i get from the link it will be very hard for the amp to clip if I get speakers i get are rated continuous above the 75 watts, say 80 or 90, or if I play it at extremely high levels. Am i correct to say that or am I still a little confused.

I just heard some klipsch b-3 bookshelfs and a c-2 center. Do you think these are some good choices.

I dont have the 805 I just have an htib from them which is the Ht-s5100 and many people said that the speakers can be switched out without a problem like in some htib's. I just got it to have a full set at one time but now I want higher guality fronts and center. it says it gets 130 watts per...

I was emailing back and forth with a guy from svs and this is what he had to say: "There's no real performance difference between box/cylinder subs in a given line (say, PC12-NSD/PB12-NSD), just different form-factors."

I have an onkyo reciever which has a 130 watt per channel output (max output). I was looking at replacing some of the speakers (I have never picked out individual speakers before and all the speakers have a max watts rms and just max watts. I was wondering how you would go about picking speakers...

I think ill go with 300ft 14AWG from monoprice for $56. Thanks for recommending the site Jason, and thanks for all the other help I received.

Ok sounds good. Thanks for all your help. What do you think about blue jean cable. Its not to expensive and I have heard alot about it on this forum?

I have an Onkyo HT-S5100 and I was woundering what difference a better guage of speaker wire will have on the quality of sound. The wires that came with the system are very thin and do not look like they are very good quality. This is the same with the subwoofer cable. Does anyone have any...

Tony, what kind of charger do you have for your controllers?

How long have you kept your controllers in the charger for? Does this mean that I would have to wait around to take them out right when they are done charging?
