Jealous of your 440 Nikkos , I have had the Alpha 600 and a Nikko EQ on my hifishark and ebay watch lists for years... never seem to find one come up for sale though...

I was hesitant with it all when I made the choice to go with my rack in the boiler room. On top of the water heater ,the sump in there and the condensation loop for the AC is 3 ft away as well.... Luckily all my equipment is on the mid to low end (haha) so it won't be a huge loss if a water...

Well.... obviously this covid project stalled haha... surprisingly hectic and busy at work so the schedule for this reno (much to my wife's dismay) has gone out the window But I was browsing the forums looking at some questions that came up with my media rack, and while I was here I figured I...

The lights are modern "cans" the LED is only 1/2" thick and a small wire goes to a step down box which is then wired to the AC circuit. I basically did the perimeter of the room with those lights ... they are way brighter than i thought they would be so it was nice that i picked up versions...

Unlike most people I am looking for an answer that includes the "lot more factors"... i knew yes i can just willy nilly hook up as manu subs as i wanted... was wondering if it was a good idea... However upoun digging last night it turns ot my AVR is a 7.2... not a 7.1.... so perhaps this is...

Yes, my AVR's biamping functionality wont be a true bi amp set up ( no stand alone xover, and obviously one amp instead of one amp per range) However i was figuring that setting it up this way might give some benefit. I was initiailly thinking it would make the crossover point just a little...

Wow excellent info Bob thank you! Yes to me as well, it looks like the other sub out is for the other zones.... hence a Y perhaps to send signal to two subs... it wont be true .2 since the AVR wont be able to ping each sub individuallly was wonder how most did it... or if it was even possible...

Running cable... only 6 more runs to go....

But as requested here are pictures of something haha... So ive been thinking of maybe getting a second woofer (seems like the cool thing to do according to the internet)... Is my set up capable i cant really discern from the AVR manual.... Heres a shot of my AVR and the subs plate. AvR...

Ill save the full room shots for the finished product.... the space is a warzone currently. Waiting for the rain to let up so i can take a load or two of the demolishing waste to the dump (ive already taken 4 loads) who knew drywall and framing scraps would take up so much room haha

Haha it wont be much a try this and that as ill be doing it without drywall and nice fluffy walls for reflections to be absorbed.... but i think it will give me a "sense" on if i can live with ceilings doing surround duty.... Thanks again for the input everyone, feeling more confident about...

That would make sense... i guess cost would shoot way up for rated small guages.. I put insulation into all the new interior walls i put up, and i threw in insulation into the ceiling...... Yes completley agree.... when putting in the walls the plan was for long ways to be the set up for...

Yeah good point... Would you suggest I throw the preamp out in the room with the turn table then? Probably a better signal coming off the preamp than just the turntable itself. Im going to dig out the long RCA tomorrow and see if its shielded and plug it into the system and test it out....if...

The chart i used online said best to go with 12g for my impedence (8ohm) and run length... i was going to go with 10g since i was on the upper end of max run length for that guage/impedence combo, but couldnt find CL2 in a spool big enough.... either way i think im looking good with 12g for my...

Was talking more of the EMI for the RCA from the turntable

To be honest my main concerns for the speaker wire were : 12awg, CL2, would get here in a reasonable time , and price.... big focus on the delivery time as construction is on going and im trying to get cables run before the drywall goes up (heating and vent guy is luckily holding the process up...

I was completley unaware optical HDMI was a thing..... i literally spent a week googling how to get a 4k signal for to 100ft. All my googling said the baseT via Cat6 boxes are the way to go for Hz and bandwidth.... Are these monoprice cables certified? Hows the latency, my son is stressing...

Haha that was my plan but the wife vetod where the display has to sit..... also where the sub is sitting in the picture is where two pinball machines and an arcade machine sit I was thinking of having the sub just off center of the display, however if i do that it would have to only be set off...

So this is the space im working with... Currently doing a full reno of our basement. Ive got the cabling ran from my AV stack which is in another room, im waiting on my 500ft of speaker wire to arrive so i can run that aswell before the dry wall goes onto the walls and ceiling. Im at a loss of...
