I did run a short sub cable that I had laying around and it had no hum and sounded great. No audio component that I have is grounded so I would suspect that nothing will be fighting for a ground.

Awesome! Thanks for the help and pointing me in the right dirrection. Got my cables ordered.

I think I got ya ... so basically I need this RCA cable from the receiver (amp) all the way to the subwoofer. So my speaker wire in the wall just to the sub is the worthless one?

oh man ... so my speaker wires in the wall are worthless? what is the difference between 2 conductor speaker wire and a 2 conductor "rca" cable.

Sorry, It is a powered sub. As for the 7.2 vs 7.1. I know it is one channel, I was just eluding to the fact that I had 2 subs and 2 sub outputs on the amp. I might try the other sub since the wire is shorter, that should rule out cable length and speaker wire.

I am nearing the end of finishing my home theater and hooked up the equipment this weekend. It is going to be a 7.2 system with the 2 subs being in a front corner and an opposite rear corner of the room. I only hooked up one sub which is the front. I get a terrible hum out of it. When I ran...

And for trailers .... hd-trailers.net

google images, show only high res.

In place of a lighted poster box, I am considering installing a 28-32 inch TV, since they can be had for under $200 these days and playing a loop of a trailers on it or even a slide show of posters. Thoughts on this? Is it overkill? Do you think it would get old after a while and not used?

perfect! that is what I was looking for! if I go closer, will it be even brighter yet or is 14 feet the "sweet spot".

In the process of building my home theater. I was about to put my electric box, HDMI box and some blocking for my soon to own, Epson 8350 projector. I got the throw distance from projector central's projection calculator to figure my distance, which was 16 feet for a 120" diag. screen size. Just...

hmmm .... should I do something different than my above plan?

Awesome! Once again, thanks Jason! Another question, I plan on painting my viewing wall either dark purple like the rest of the theater or black and using the silver screen paint for the viewing area. I plan on painting the viewing area sized for 16x9 (1.78) ratio. What will happen with a movie...

I plan on mounting my epson 8350 on the ceiling. Is there something buried in the specs that will tell me the distance the screen will be from the ceiling? Trying to figure out where exactly my viewing area will be. I was able to determine my throw distance at 16' for a 120" diagonal.

Not trying to hi-jack this post, will the Onkyo 609 decode audio via HDMI?

Thanks again! I think I am going to just go with a single light on a dimmer, since there a bit pricer than I expected and to avoid confusion on controlling them. I did come across another thought today while working on the theater. Currently I have 15 "fold up" style theater chairs that I bought...

Awesome, Thanks for the tips and advice. Will the banana plugs be too big and look bulky near some small wall mount surround speakers or look ok? Can I have 3 of the remote switches you mention controlling 3 seperate lights and work individually? Can these 3 seperate lights be controlled through...

Started framing the walls this week for my theater. It is the last corner to finish in my basement. Size is 16 1/2' x 28' x 8'-4". Plan on doing 2 elevated platforms for a total of 3 seating rows. Will also have a stage on the viewing end of the room. Sound will be 7.2 with mix matched speakers...

In the planning stages of my home theater. It is a basement room 16x27x8'2 ceiling ht. I am planning on building a raised platform for second row seating and a stage where the screen will be. My question is aimed at the LFE for this room. I currently have a yamaha sub (220w, 12"). Will this...
