    Looking for good, low-cost sub to be used w/Quintets

    I don't know where you can get the sony sa-wx-700 for less than $200 but I bought the sony sa-wx-500 12" 150 watts for $200 at best buy. You can get the 500 for about $130 online but I didn't feel like waiting. I'm no stereophile but I'm very pleased with the 500.

    Gauge+length= ?loss?

    Ok I'm getting a about 10db loss on my surrounds compared to the mains . They are the same speakers, I'm using all stereo mode however the length of 16 gauge wire is about 35' compared to 8' for the mains same gauge. Can that length result in a close to 10 db loss?
