    athena as-p400 sub question

    Thanks Jason, Sounds like you got a better deal than I can get. Still, I think the price is right so I will pick one up this weekend. As you said, it should look good with the rest of the Athenas I have already purchased. Now it is just a matter of getting the room completed so I can set...

    athena as-p400 sub question

    I don't know how much you are paying for the Dayton(s), but I will be purchasing the P-400 for $340 (cdn). The price is about $150 (+tax) cheaper than Future Shop (Best Buy).

    I'm going to build a basement HT. Need advice.

    Hey Dan, I am in a somewhat simmilar situation, although my basement hometheatre is going to be about half the size of yours. As for sub-flooring, I am planning on using dri-core...it is all 2'x2' tongue and groove and it should be very easy to install. I also have a drain to cover, but it is...
