    Anything like bass shakers that adds a surreal experience?

    I just added four bass shakers which I should have done years ago. They are awesome. Is there any other things that I may not know about in terms of sensory type effects. I have a 7.8.6 system and at times it feels like a wind tunnel from the bass but is there anything else? I have programmed...

    Hertz Question?

    Do you set your speakers in your reciever as to the freq data sheet for your speakers? Ex. A 35hz speaker set to 40hz in the settings? I recently started upgrading my stuff and have a 7.8.6 system and was curious. I remember back in the day everyone said set everything to 80hz and wondering if...

    Anyone upgrade from SVS subs from 20 years ago?

    I built a HT room in the basement with 120 inch screen and have a 7.2.6 system with 2 SVS 25-31 CS+/1000watt Sampson amp. It's about a 14x18 room. Well, I need to upgrade my subs and was looking to buy 2 PB3000's. I could do 2 PC4000s but I think the 3000s will be better suited size wise as...

    SVS Help yet again!!!

    I have 2 25-31 SVS CS+'s with a sampson 1000 watt amp, but I need more bass. Don't get me wrong the earth shakes under my feet. How much of a difference are we talking about if I went to any of the following. 2 PB12 ultra/2's 2 PB12 Plus/2 I'm leaning more toward the PB12 Plus/2's because...

    SVS Help. Two to Four question?

    As I type this I have two SVS 25-31 CS+'s going into a Sampson 1000 amp. Now I want to buy two more SVS PCI 25-31's since they have the same driver as the CS+'s. The problem I think I'm going to have is connected them and this is where you come in. Exactly how can I do this? Is there a 3 female...

    4 Tumults 4K watts?

    I just won a settlement and have around $8000 i'd like to invest in just the sub woofer area. I have had subs in the past currently running 2 SVS 25-31 CS+'s (living room) and dual sonotubes with 2 Tempests in each running off of 2400 watts(HT room). I want something that is going to stick out...

    Time for another SVS upgrade. Suggestions?

    As I speak I have 2 25-31CS+'s running off of a Sampson1000 amp. I also have 2 sonotubes with 4 Tempest drivers (2k watts) which gets insane loud. That upgrade bug has hit me yet again. Being out of the SVS loop for a while I see SVS now has newer "box" subwoofers that people are happy with. A...

    2 Brahma's? What would you do?

    I have 2 Brahma's (15's) laying around from my car audio days and I was thinking of a 10^3 box/Sonotube tuned to 20hz with 2000watts@4 Ohms(any amp suggestions?). I modeled it up and it seems to be a pretty nice flat response from 20hz up. Does this sound good? You see I already am pretty good...

    Making the jump to 7.1? I think

    I have a Denon2802 and it says I can add a rear speaker to my setup. My question is can I add 2 of them? The bad thing about buying speakers is you have to buy in pairs. I have a Panasound 855 running all 5 right now. So my plan would be to run the center and mains off of the panasound and let...

    What's next in the SVS line?

    Just curious if they are going to build Dual tubes in the future. I have 2 25-31CS+'s with the Sampson amp and I love them to death. I was thinking of pulling the trigger and buying 2 Ultra's for the living room(or switch the ones in my HT room). What I would really like would be 2 dual ultra's...

    SVS experts needed.

    I have dual 25-31CS+'s with the Sampon amp in my HT room and I'm looking for 2 more for the living room. I want to buy dual Ultra's and was wondering how much louder the Ultra's are from the CS+'s. The room is 20x30.

    Help with a movie title. Thanks

    A few days ago my parents were trying to explain a horror movie that they saw at the drive-in around the '70's. You know how irritating it is to know of it but not know the title. I thought it would be interesting to tell them so there happy. They said it was pretty popular. My dad said there...

    Does Anyone Adjust Volume During Movies?

    I like a good sounding movie as well as the next guy, but do any of you adjust your volume at different parts in movies? I noticed at first that I use to have the remote in hand throughout and unintentionally adjust the level. Of course I have 2 SVS25-31CS+'s that stomp my house at reference and...

    Dark areas appearing red-like?

    I just got finished watching Mulholland Dr. and my black seems to be a little off. I thought I calibrated this to its correct level in AVIA/VE and still it seems red-like. Did anyone else notice this? It's kind of annoying but to this day this is the only movie where I notice this.

    Braveheart? Need answers.

    During the last BIG battle why exactly is LaBruce on LongShanks side on the line? Does LongShanks know that LaBruce is right next to him? I find this confusing for me because I get the impression Labruce is shocked that his 2 leaders turn away and leave. I realize that his father set this up to...

    Confused over reference level?

    Well I'm not confused over using a RS SPL meter on anything about setting it up. I want to know if you have to go through all the different decoding modes? I was listening to a CD and I noticed it was a little louder then my movie playback so I went to the speaker settings and noticed them all...

    Confused about crossover?

    Here is the equipment Denon2802 Parasound855 Parasound2003 Sampson1000 I have the Denon set to 80hz crossover and speakers set to small, but during Avia Bass test all my speakers bass goes 80 and below still. Shouldn't it cap it off at 80 and redirect anything below to my 2 SVS25-31CS+'s?

    Something to power on everything at the same time?

    I'm looking for something that will power on all my stuff when I turn on one thing. Example: If I turn on my Denon2802 my Sampson1000/Parasound855/Parasound2003 will turn on. I really don't mind switching them all on, but from time to time I fell like I'm reddening for a space shuttle launch. :)

    Denon2802/Parasound855 troubles? Please Help

    I finally got around to hooking this up but I can only hear bass now and nothing through my speakers. Do you have to set-up the Denon so it recognizes the Parasound. I hooked all the speaker wires to the Parasound made sure all the gains are up and hooked the rca's to the Denon. This is correct...

    SVS25-31CS+ SPL Meter Set Up

    Ok I have a little bit of bad Bass waves in my room and find calbration difficult due to a bouncing SPL meter needle. I have 2 SVS25-31CS+ with port tune installed running off of a Sampson1000 to a Denon2802 receiver. Should the Sampson be all the way up and just cut the Denon's DB down to an...

    Since I'm getting older my enjoyment of video games is somewhat fading. Well I picked up Metal of Honor Frontline for the PS2 today and OH MY GOD does this game have BASS.
