Hi, first post and new to HT, so please bear with me.
We are undergoing a renovation/addition project and in the family room I coaxed the wife into letting me setup hometheater/entertainment center. I had custom install folks come out to the house but EVERYONE wanted to charge and arm and a leg above retail and would not give me what I wanted (it is a family room, not a dedicated hometheater). So, I ventured out on my own and purchased the equipment/speakers/etc and working with our electrician (who has experience in hometheater).
The family room is an octagon and we decided to go with in wall speakers to save space and compliment the Sony PFM-50C1 Plasma that will be mounted on the wall. I went with the Niles HDLRS setup for front/center/rear and the in-wall PSW8 subwoofer (all run back to a dedicated A/V closet with a Sony STRDA2ES Receiver, Sony DVP-NS900V DVD player, etc...). PROBLEM: The sub is not powered and I didn't really take this into consideration prior to buying (looking for an in-wall sub that wouldn't break the bank). Sooooo, what impact will this have on our viewing experience and can anything be done (should anything be done?).
Thanks in advance,
Craig
