    Bud Light Commercial?

    Did a quick look for it under Superbowl stuff but have had no luck yet. Hopefully somebody will read this and know where it is?! Thanks for your replies! :emoji_thumbsup:

    Bud Light Commercial?

    Horrible? You didn't laugh at all? I got a pretty good laugh out of it and told lots of people about it but nobody has seen it for themselves. I was just hoping somebody here knew a place on the net to get it.

    Bud Light Commercial?

    I'm not sure if anybody ever saw this one but wanted to know if anyone would know where to get it on the internet. It was late one night and I was still up watching TV. I saw this commercial where the guys walk into the bar and order a round of beers. The bartender serves them and then he...

    "Don't Say a Word" Please Help!

    Ahhh! Thank you! I was really upset when I caught a glimpse of the item in his hand and then he said "Go get it" and threw it off. I thought for sure I'd figure it out before the movie ended but that was basically the end. Guess he didn't think too much before he said it was worth his life...

    "Don't Say a Word" Please Help!

    I was watching this movie on my TV and missed the part at the Cemetery when they dug up the correct grave and got whatever it was those guys were looking for. Now I saw the whole movie and missed that part so I'm confused and want to know what it was those guys were so intent on finding. If you...

    Another Sub Calibration Question

    Thanks to both of you for your replies. I guess I really posted that to make sure I wasn't harming anything. I would definately re-calibrate if running anything at REF levels to make sure and not bottom the sub. John, I too used to run it very hot because I had no SPL meter. I got one finally...

    Another Sub Calibration Question

    I have calibrated everything in my system to 85 db using the S&V disc but because my room is quite small and the fact I don't usually listen to stuff anywhere near reference levels I feel like I should up the sub more than the recommended 2-5db. On my receiver I have the REF level at -15...

    Calibrated correctly?

    Vince, I'm talking about the Subwoofer Output Control only being set to -5. On the SVS site they recommend it being set 25% of the way up. In my case that is -5 (scale of -10 to +10). My PE plate amp volume control for the sub is only a little more than 1/4 the way up because any louder and...

    Calibrated correctly?

    Ok, I re-did most of the calibrations using the tones on the S&V disc. I did do the sub hot because I never really listen to anything at REF levels. My only question is this. I have the LFE level on -5 as the SVS site says (Kenwood goes from -10 to +10) but to get it to calibrate correctly I had...

    Calibrated correctly?

    I actually sat and read the instruction manual for the spl meter and I realized I have done a few things wrong. I guess it pays to read that instruction manual! I'm going to correct those later today. Thanks for all the replies!

    Calibrated correctly?

    Also, I just tried using my Sound & Vision setup disk to calibrate and came up with different readings and setting levels than the internal receiver tones. Is this normal? Which should prove more accurate for me? Thanks Brent

    Calibrated correctly?

    I gotmy PE 250W plate amp today and also my SPL meter and want to know if I did this correct. I just went ahead and used the receiver internal test tones for calibration. My equipment: Kenwood VR505 HTD Level II Speakers (all the way around) 20-39CS SVS with a 250W PE amp I set the...

    Got my SVS Working Again!

    The PE Plate amp works great so I'll probably go ahead and buy the 250W version of it. I got everything cleaned up (had a heck of a mess) and re did the calibrations on the Sound & Vision disk and then watched some movies and music and it was just bumpin away! I really don't know what caused the...

    Got my SVS Working Again!

    Probably going to do the amp upgrade. Am I doing a bad thing by running 18 guage wire or is it just recommended? Also would the $20 AR Sub Cable be a good choice from BB or should I just leave the Y Cable I have now? Thanks

    Got my SVS Working Again!

    Hello, Update (Those who read the last message from me new the deal so here goes): I hooked everything up again today and only changed some of the speaker wire and all of a sudden I'm getting bass again. The bad part is the bass using the old stereo receiver as an amp is not nearly as good as...

    Got My SVS 20-39 Today!

    The receiver for the SVS works just fine. I tested it as you and others have mentioned. I'm worried that maybe I have blown the "sub-out" connection on my main HT receiver now. I can get the radio to play through the sub via the old stereo receiver but nothing in music of my own or movies using...

    Got My SVS 20-39 Today!

    Just checked all the saettings on my HT receiver and they did not change. They are set to how the should be but thanks for the suggestion! Anything will be considered at this point! Thanks

    Got My SVS 20-39 Today!

    I tried another channel and everyting and every other speaker I hooked to it played just fine. I even took my DLS partsexpress.com subwoofer and took the amp from the back of it to try and power the SVS but no luck. I've been working with Tom V. as well so hopefully we'll get something to go...

    Got My SVS 20-39 Today!

    It's been almost 2 hours now and I still can't get it to play anything. Any suggestions? One other thing, when you used a stereo receiver, did you hear a hum noise whenever you turned on the stereo receiver? I do and figured it was normal but I want to check that and make sure it is. Thanks...

    Got My SVS 20-39 Today!

    Question. I was playing my SVS pretty loud today for U-571 and all of sudden the bass just stopped during the depth charge scene. I was playing it louder than I usually ever would while watching a movie but was just having too much fun with my new SVS and hearing it rumble loud and proud...

    Got My SVS 20-39 Today!

    So as long as I'm not bottoming out the sub (I wold definately notice this right?) and the receiver isn't over-heating there is no need to worry right? I definately plan on purhasing the SPL meter in the near future to help with this stuff. One other thing, bottoming out the sub seems like it...

    Got My SVS 20-39 Today!

    I got my first taste of SVS today and am amazed. I bought a 20-39CS used for 3 months from a HTF member for extremeley cheap and couldn't be happier. I'm 17 and have pretty much bought all my HT stuff with my own money, except for the receiver I got for Christmas and the old receiver of my dad's...

    What do you use to drive your SVS?

    I'm just curious to know what you guys use to drive your CS series SVS subwoofers? I know most go with the recommended amps from Samson but what about those who use the stereo receivers they have? I'm especially curious to know about those using the really old stereo receivers. What is your ohms...

    SVS Hookup to Old Receiver

    I really hope it does do well. The receiver is really old (late 1970's Onkyo Tx-4500) and rated at 55 w/c. I know that's a little low but I'm thinking that since it is a top of the line Onkyo from the old days it should do very well. I'm just a bit worried about the 4 ohms with it. (I dont still...

    SVS Hookup to Old Receiver

    I just got in on a good deal for an SVS 20-39CS but wanted to use an old stereo receiver to power it. I'm just curious to know if the connection I will be trying is correct. I have a connection like this to my current sub and was wondering if the same chord will work to plug into my Kenwood "sub...

    Old Onkyo Tx-4500 for SVS?

    Sorry to bother with all the questions but thanks for helping me so far! One more thing... How would the Crossover be handled if I used that old receiver? The sub I have now has the crossover knob on it (I imagine that is because it's a powered sub) but how would an SVS CS come? Would it have...

    Old Onkyo Tx-4500 for SVS?

    I'm a bit confused on how it would hook up. I understand everything but where the 75 OHM a/v chord would plug into on the SVS receiver. I think it would go from the "sub out" option on the DD receiver but how would it plug into an older receiver that is powering the SVS? Oh, the receiver has...
