    Very awkward floorplan, please help me figure out my surround placements

    Yeah I was trying to save money, and already had one way back in the stereo days, so I hunted another down and had both of them reconditioned to use for the ceiling. At one point I was going to go with all Nikko's but after several bad buys off of Ebay, and bringing them in to the tech, he would...

    Very awkward floorplan, please help me figure out my surround placements

    Don't feel to bad, I have gone without my entire system, except the display for 3 years and a few months. All started when my daughter moved in with a 9 month old granddaughter. We were in the middle of an entire 1st floor renovation that went down to the studs, and ceiling joists. Nightmare is...

    Love that spaghetti sticking out of that wall. Now for some sauce, like maybe 1000 watts LOL. Interesting idea of running the fishing wire for the future. Never thought of that idea. Love dimmable lights, Where are you locating them? Low along the kickboard near the floor, or on the wall like...

    What did I tell you Standsontoes? There is more information contained in this paragraph then in 2 of mine. Quite a bit of info that I totally overlooked. Especially the phase. So even if you could get them hooked up and with enough length of wire got them positioned well, the room correction...

    Only part of the speaker that draws a significant amount of current is the woofers. And yes you are separating the low end and high end of the 1 speaker not really making 2 speakers. My speakers have a switch instead of a plate. From what I understand I think the switch takes the crossovers...

    Very awkward floorplan, please help me figure out my surround placements

    Using 2 subs is to even out the resonances at different positions in the room. This paper can explain it better. I am using 1 and my biggest problem in my room was the boom. I always had a very precise volume i could get on the lowest bass and if i went any louder I got distortion in the form of...

    I did my downstairs apartment total gut with new floor plan new floors and ceilings. i stuffed the entire house with rockwool. I used safe and sound on inside walls and ceilings and R23 on the outside walls. I ran a small boom box while doing all the insulation and like you said I loved the dead...

    The only reason I mentioned the strand count is because electrons travel along the wire not through it like water inside a pipe. I am a bit crazy on getting the most I can as far as resistance and impedance goes. I have an amp that is 500 watts into 4ohms that my speakers are, and it can handle...

    My tech makes his own turntable connects and he uses coaxial cable. I questioned him about it and he said it was great for the signal and had superior shielding against RF and EMI signals. Probably better and cheaper than RCA interconnects. And CAT 6 can be had in fiber optic. That not only...

    Very awkward floorplan, please help me figure out my surround placements

    I'll give you some info on the sub, and I would strongly suggest not to ceiling mount the rear surrounds, you want to reserve the ceiling for future Atmos ability. The walls being so far away at different lengths from the couch could work if you make one speaker louder than the other, like the...
