    Adding Extra Sub/Advice?

    Wow...thanks. I'm glad I posted the qiestion. It makes sense now that I think of it....I'm sure glad I didn't go ahead and try it like I was going to. Also...I was finally able to get at one of those subs and yes, it does have some RCA IN's on it. In fact, it has just about every kind of...

    Adding Extra Sub/Advice?

    Yeah, thanks...I thought that might be overkill, but it was tempting to try. I think you're right..I'll just try the other sub (after disconnecting the first). I don't know if it has RCA's or not, don't think so, but there's ways to work aroung that. I'm assuming I can just use a cord with one...

    Adding Extra Sub/Advice?

    BTW..I'm disabled, so it's difficult for me to look right now (it's packed away) but the "extra sub" has a lot of settings/switches on it, so it's not just a straight connection with zero adjustabilty (like my Onkyo htib sub)...if that makes sense! Again, it's by no means a "high dollar" sub...

    Adding Extra Sub/Advice?

    Oh...and yes, the sub that came with the HTiB IS connected to the LFE out...thats why I was wondering about using "Speaker B" for connecting that extra sub...plus, it would be easy...no connection/plug hassles or additional purchases.. thanks...

    Adding Extra Sub/Advice?

    Sorry...yeah, it's a powered sub, and again, I've heard it before and it's a decent sub, much better than the one that came with the HTiB. I've been learning as I go with this Home Theatre stuff and would have done things differently had I known what I do know...like piecing together sperate...

    Adding Extra Sub/Advice?

    Hi all..First off, I have an Onkyo HT-S4100 HTiB, and would like to add another sub, just as a test, and hopefully improve my "low end". The main reason for wanting to do this is room configuration...I have an 8" sub that came w/ the package and between the size (8" speaker) and not being able...

    Onkyo HTIB Suggestions for speakers/wire?

    Again, thanks. Yeah, I could go to around 300 bucks, but again, I wanna know it's worth it. I don't want to spend a lot for a slight difference. I want to get a really noticeable difference. I realize with what I have already, and the small budget I have that I can't expect miracles, but it...

    Onkyo HTIB Suggestions for speakers/wire?

    Thanks A LOT for the help everybody..I'm kinda screwed in the sense that I'm disabled and live in the "boonies". I know the WISE thing to do is go and LISTEN to speakers, but that's kinda hard to do.. and I trust your opinions (usually!) with this stuff... I'll take it all into consideration...

    Onkyo HTIB Suggestions for speakers/wire?

    I can probably, and this is stretching it, do about $200.00 or so. Thats kind of dumb though, since it's about what i paid for the whole HTIB! (300 bucks) I don't know, if it would be worth it it though, I'd fork over a fair amount of money..I just don't know where to start...so MANY brands...

    Onkyo HTIB Suggestions for speakers/wire?

    I don't know what I'm doing here with this forum (obviously!) The speakers that came with it (Onkyo HT-S4100) are 6 ohm, and the wire guage is, I think, 22.

    Onkyo HTIB Suggestions for speakers/wire?

    Hello all..I have an Onkyo HT-S4100 HTIB, and would like to upgrade the speakers and wiring. (If only I knew then what I know now) I really don't want to spend a TON of money, but if the results would be NOTICEABLE and worth it, I will. I would sincerely appreciate ANY input you "guys" have, you...

    Audio settings for a Comcast box

    Finally! someone explained this! I have the same setup and was wondering if I had things set correctly. Matrix was really bugging me. I have a 5.1 system, but was "afraid" to select stereo, same with compression, I wondered about that also. COOOL!

    Help! Wiring Questions...

    Hi all...I've been reading and reading about subwoofer connections, trying to learn what the best one is. I have an Onkyo HT-S4100 HTIB that came with scrawny speaker wire, and the sub connection uses the same wimpy guage wire. The only difference with that connection is the RCA plugs.I keep...
