What you are seeing is perfectly normal. The framebuffer only see 896 MB of RAM at a time. Google a program called GPU-z, and run it. It will show you the full amount of RAM. Anyone else that has a 295 will see the same thing you are. :)
So basically I modeled it correctly already and just need to get a decent 100w amp as the receiver currently is straining to push it. Taking the sub load off the receiver should clean up the rest of the speakers as well I would think. Later on I can get a better sub and build a smaller box if...

That forum page lists a pin-out for the connector. This could allow you to build a controller for your needs.

That URL is an entire forum dedicated to the z-560's.
Hope that helps at least some.
Thanks for the additional info. My receiver doesn't have a calibration solution. I do want to upgrade to a Denon receiver later though, for multiple reasons. One, to support the newer sound technologies for Blu-ray. Two, to use MultEQ for calibration. Three, just a better receiver in...
Ok, so what are some good "inexpensive retail models". Space is not a concern.
Calibration, well, my system currently doesn't have any. I can reverse phase, and control volume. Obviously an amplifier would allow x-over control on top of that. My receiver is very basic.
Kinda bummed that...
Ok, I fully respect your opinion based on spending hours reading other posts.
Would you say that, no matter what the rest of the specs are, that it's a waste of time doing anything with this sub?
If so, recommendations for a cheap sub and amp (I can build the box if you can help me with specs)...
Hello. This is my first post here. I have lingered for awhile, reading a lot, seeing how you guys do things and also attempting to obtain all of the necessary information before I posted this question. Thanks in advance for any help you can give. I apologize if this is long-winded.
I have...
Unplug the power cable and let it sit for a few minutes. Plug it back in. If it still doesn't work, call an authorized repair shop if under warranty and/or noone you know is electrically savvy.
Sounds to me like the audio source was/is the problem here, not the speakers. To blow both of them, you must have sent a heavily clipped signal to the speakers, or a very distorted one.
Suggestions so far are good. If possible, put the subwoofer in the middle of all the possible seating positions. Again, if possible, put it at ear height. Now, put on a good song with bass sweeps or something that will hit a good range of bass. With this playing, crawl around on your hands...
