While I do agree somewhat with Richard, the point of toys is to always upgrade. Wait, I didn't write that did I? :b Anyways, at the price you are looking at, you will have a hard time finding better than the SVS, though I have no experience with the HSU's. Needless to say, my advice is to...

Hey Marc, does the amp have heat fins on the top? I am not aware of your unit, but it may or may not. The reason I am asking is, if you have heat fins, you can create a closed loop water pumping device to run over the fins. I brew beer, and it's how I cool my wort down before pitching. Not too...

S.tomps V.elodyne S.ubwoofers. Just a thought.

Dave, the question at hand though was how to set the whole thing up, right? If you splice 2 channels from one of the existing speaker level outputs, you are not going to do any favors to your receiver, and not going to get the 6.1 sound (you'll just have quad surround, which, well, doesn't help...

Hey now, can I send back my 16-46PCi for the 16-46PC+? How would that work? Do I eat the shipping, and trade up for almost the same amount of money? Come on now, inquiring minds want to know. By the way, the PCi rocks out, so I can't wait to read about the PC+.

Depends upon how short or long the leash is. ;) In my case, the wife allows me to deal with the HT issues. Sure, aesthetics are important, particularly as you go up in price, but ultimately, I would prefer to be impressed by the sound instead of by the looks. I am a function not fashion guy...

Mike, he seems to be down with the SVS program (no suggestive selling on my part, I just pass the facts and reviews along and let the numbers speak for themselves.) Not too certain he'd need 2 in the room he has, but hey, you can really never get enough clean, deep bass. Quite honestly...

Hey now, I know there are many rabid SVS fans out there - myself included. I have a friend who just got married :emoji_thumbsup: and is in need of a sub to complete his AV Geek quest to go deep, very deep. Basically, he is upgrading his whole setup (you have to do this stuff early on in a...

Hey Will, if you do want to upgrade the amp though it is a fairly easy thing to do. Someone already ran the 14 guage, so you just go to your outlet or breaker depending on where you want to pull from. You just fold the wires over one another, wind the 12 to the 14 and vice a versa. Slap some...

I had nothing good to say about UPS because they didn't even attempt to deliver my PCi+ the first time - just left a posty-note saying they had been by. If my wife wasn't home all day, I'd be none the wiser. The boxes are big and heavy, and the folks at UPS aren't too adept at delivering such...

I have read many times how dimmers throw lots of noise into the circuit. I don't remember the specifics, but basically it's something to do with the fact that the full electrical load does not go to the light, the left over electricity gets fed into the line leaving you with spikes and noise...

If you can be patient (I wasn't able to, but the 16-46 PCi kills in my room) I'd wait for the PCi+. It should be sick, plus you can seal the tube to go even lower, and with all that headroom (675 watts I think) you can go just as loud as you need to too, if you are into that kind of thing. :D...

In Chicagoland, it seems that it's only certain shows are in HDTV (Er, Rose Bowl Parade, etc.). The key thing to remember though, is that most (over 99.9%) of what HDTV signal you get is not filmed with a HDTV camera. There are only something like 8 in the world right now. Hence, most folks...

Yikes, I thought this was all going to be much easier. You might check out some other THX disks and make sure the Optimode on Pearl Harbor is correct, because you have to figure that the Avia disk is as it's what the thing was designed for. I have read that Pearl Harbor has some encoding...

Phil, I own a 16-46 PCi and love it. The small size may be an issue with standing waves etc, but one that you should be able to fix with bass traps, eq'ing and whatnot. You might try emailing Tom too, as it might be that Ron is running himself crazy right now (vnedor issues?) gearing up for...
