everything worked fine for me. I just turned up the gain a little bit on the SVS.

Scott: any luck with finding that info for me? Simon: The pioneer comes with a mic.

McKinley: I couldn't be happier with my purchase. If I had to do it all over again, I'd still buy the exact same speakers. With a little research you should be able to find a ton of reviews. Here's one: http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volum...ub-4-2002.html AFAIK, M&K actually listens...

Scott, i'm relatively new to all this. In what menu do I set the sub to PLUS and where do I get a chance to increase the volume on the LFE channel?

Thanks for info everyone. I calibrated this morning then turned up the gain. I'm one happy SVS owner! This thing just pounds!

I just hooked up my M&K K7 left, center and right speakers and my SVS 25-31PCi sub to my Pioneer Elite VSX-45tx. This is all new equipment I have acquired inthe past few weeks. After hooking everything up, the M&K speakers sound great. I haven't done any calibration yet. One reason for me to...

I visited my local hifi dealer the other week and got some of the worst customer service in my life. I ended up visitng their website and saw they had a "customer feedback form". For fun, I filled it out with my customer complaint. Amazingly, the next day i received an email from the store...

Thanks for the info guys. Looks like the best way to go is: 1) have the speaker cable run through the ceiling 2) install a wall plate on the ceiling and connect the wire to it 3) Mount the speaker mount to the ceiling joist. 4) connect a piece of wire from the wall/ceiling plate to the...

can you run UF or burial cable through walls?

what is "UF electrical cable"? I'm a complete newbie to this. I need to have cable that is weather proof since a portion of it will be run outside around my house, then fed back into my house for a set of ceiling mounted surrounds. I was told I shoudl use 12 gauge wire since the run it 40'...

I need to run speaker cable around the outside of my house then back into my house for ceiling mounted speakers. I have been told to run burial cable since it is weatherproof and will work for speaker cable. All burial cable I've seen is black in color. This won't work for me as it won't...

Thanks for replies everyone! I just picked up the dayton banana plugs from partsexpress since I was ordering speaker stands from them also.

I have a Pioneer Elite VSX-45tx and have no idea what type of banana plugs to get. I've read all types of reports saying that some banana plugs are incompatible with certain receivers. Surely someone must have a Pioneer Elite receiver that can tell me from experience which banana plugs to...

I started another thread on this topic, but it was closed since it was a duplicate thread :) In my other thread, John Garcia wrote:

Tim, thanks for the info! Looks like hanging from just the sheetrock isn't going to be what I want to do. There is no attic about the room.. I am just getting someone to fish a wire through my ceiling and out at the points where I will mount the speakers. Definitely don't want to put plywoof...
