I have a y-cable right now that goes to my pb12/2 ultra and the other end goes to my buttkicker. I am considering a second ultra, but how would I hook this up? Would I simply get another y-cable to attach to one end of the existing y-cable that is in the sub out making 3 lfe out's? Is this...
After posting my original thread about trying to get rid of a null, I realize bass is a complicated thing and is different for each individual room. Who could I hire and trust that they know what they are doing to come over and assess my situation so I can get good bass at my listening position...
In my 12x17 HT I have a null in the 40-60 range with the sub in either of the front corners of the room. If I put the sub in the rear corner the 40-60 null is gone but I have a null in the 15-25 range. I have tried both ways for a few months each and overall prefer the sub in the front of the...
I need to run 3 45ft runs of speaker wire for my main front 3 speakers, but for my surrounds I could go as short as about 15-20ft. Can I make the surround speaker wire length shorter than the mains without any audible difference, or should I just make all the wire runs at 45ft to keep them...
Alright, last question. Considering that I will be doing straight connections with this wire to my amp and speakers using NO banana plugs, just bare wire on the terminals, would there be a significant advantage or disadvantage to a thick strand wire with less strands vs a thin strand wire with...
Which would be the better option of these two considering they will be for 45 ft runs for my front 3 speakers. Is the 14/4 twisted to make 2 conductors better than 12/2 fine stranded wire? What would the awg be of 14/4 wire that is twisted and made into 2 conductor wire? All this wire stuff is...
I know there is a price difference between the two. The libery wire is finer stranded and therefore has more strands which I have read is better??? Is this true. What are the advantages and disadvantages of these two different types of wire? more thin strands vs less thicker strands.
These two look really similar to me. The 5000UE is a featured brand at BJ cables, but it looks the exact same as the carol in wall wire from the pictures. The 5000UE is more expensive and should be better wire in my mind, but is it?? Is the 5000UE a thick stranded wire like the carol, or is it a...
I need to do 3-45ft front speaker wire runs in wall to my front 3 speakers. I would like to go atleast a step up from Carol which is what I have now. I would like 10-12awg. What are some choices to look at?
I am going to ceiling mount a AE700, but I dont have a outlet on my ceiling and I assume it would be an expensive pain to get one installed up there considering my basement is entirely finished. So can I plug the projector into a monster extension cable and then plug that extension cable into...
Have decided to go with an 80" diagonal screen for my AE700. I will be ceiling mounting this projector at around 14' from the screen. My room is fully enclosed 12x17 with one tiny (1.5ft x2ft)window that is blacked out with curtains. The top part of the screen will most likely be over part of...
am planning on putting this projector in a 12x17 Fully enclosed HT room. My seating postions will all be 12' from the screen. I am trying to decide on either a 80inch screen or a 92inch screen. I can put the projector on a shelf in the back of the room where it will be 17' from the screen. At...
I am planning on putting in a front projection system in my HT, but in order to do so I will have to move the equipment rack to the back of the room. By doing this I will have to make my front speaker wire runs 35ft instead of 15ft which is where they are at now. Will there be an audible...
On loud bass heavy moments the sub will blurt out a distortion type sound. At this moment it is also verry obvious that the bass is coming from the sub. I noticed this a few times before with other discs but it is verry rare and was not cause for concern, but I dont think it is the movie for...
I got around to using the peq on the pb2 ultra and it sounds cleaner but the bass peaks are not nearly as loud. I assume this is because I reduced the peak, but I thought I would get more volume than this. It would be ok If I did not here the peaked version. Now I want the volume of the peaked...
Have a pb12/2 ultra and think it is great, but what else is out there that would be as good or better under $4000? I have had 3 different subs in and out of my system in the past few months and am relizing that I Love to hear different subs in my system. This has fully turned into a hobby for me...
What would be the pros and cons of this move? I have had the 52hm84 for a week and the dithering and slow refresh rate is very distracting. It seems that the 3 chip design of the jvc HD-ILA would cure these problems from everything I have read, but what are the drawbacks to this type of set?
I am using the autosound test cd #101. Tracks 10-98 are 1hz increment bass tracks that play for 30 sec a peice. I have all mains set to small, sub crossed at 80 and am using a B&K ref 50 as my pre/pro. When I run the freq sweep I am doing so in dolby pro logic music 7 mode which is what the pre...
I have a Tosh 52hm84 dlp rptv that I have had about a week and am considering returning because of the dithering, rainbow thing that is going on. If I get a fast camera pan or a quick turn of the face, the face of the actor dithers and disintigrates. This is the only way I know to describe this...
Is this dithering I am seing on fast camera pans rainbows? Or is this the screen door effect? I have a Toshiba dlp 52hm84 and love the picture on this set, except for this dithering type thing that happens during camera pans or a quick turn of the face. I notice this dithering most in the face...
Can get a new v1 ref 50 locally for $1500.00 (had to work to get him down even this low)or the dealer I bought my amp from has the cary cinema 6 which he will let go for $2000 which he says is a much better piece. I had the sherbourn pt-7000 before so I figure either will be an upgrade. What are...
Realized after doing some freq resp charts last night with the sub in 6 different spots in my room that the spot I had it in was the worst I assume because the chart was the least flat? Is this correct? This spot was in the front right corner of my fully enclosed 12x17 room with the rest of my...
Just got a pb2-ultra and I have somewhat of a bass null at my listening positon in a fully enclosed 12x17 room. I cant move my seating area. Moving the sub around helps a little but not anything significant. The bass in all the corners is considerably louder than in the middle open parts of the...

Hello. I have a new pb2-ultra in a fully enclosed 12x17 room. At my listening position the bass seems weak when running test tones with Avia. When I go to the corners of the room the bass is verry loud according to the spl meter. I have tried moving the sub around the room with similar results...
When calibrating my system with the internal test tones of my sherbourn pt-7000 processor for the main 7 speakers I get almost identical trim levels as I would using Avia for the same speakers. However the sub level between Avia and my internal bass test tone on the pt-7000 is way different and...
