New room? That I didn't know. Met him yesterday to deliver poison to him. I thought it is still the open hall on 1st floor.

hm, they did try to install projector but space issue. I guess his next on the list will be dual subs IF the new poison passed with flying colours.

You guys are confused already..... I am done with my home theatre set up (for now that is)....now just tweaking2 the sub....

Its hushymushy that is in the middle of the plan to set up the home theatre. Knowing him from ICE era, I am sure he will put all the details in his home theatre as well.

unfortunately $$$$ is the biggest show stopper

i wanna ask, if aelite neo subwoofer vs psb subseries 125, which one is a better choice? I am using it in a small room.

get KK to give u brother price!!..

ah victor taikor......no matter how much I squeeze KK....my dream setup is still not within reach...

For small room, I suggest you to consider a 10" sealed. Anything beyond than might be overkill for you. My 2 cents.

Ok thanks.. any 10inch sealed sub u might be able to recommend?

Budget?

around 1 to 2k?

hmmm.... a bit tough.

then i shall just wait for your company to produce that sub got ETA kah? hehe

Just bought a 2nd hand 7.1 channel receiver to handle my dvd collection, mostly old movies which have been downloaded and 'burnt'. In order to overcome the different audio qualities of the dvd's, i have opted for this unconventional speaker set-up (to make full use of the many speakers I have, the number of viewers, the room acoustics, etc). 2 centre speakers below the TV, 2 front and 2 rear speakers to the front channel, 2 speakers each for the rear surround - a total of 10 speakers. And for the setting, instead of Dolby, DTS, etc which had not existed then, I used Neural music, etc for the special effects. I am open to criticisms or even condemnations.

wow. so many speakers.
does it sound good?

It all depends on what movies you are watching. That is my HT/AV receiver set up where 'effects' are important. For music only, I use a different amp & speaker combo (direct source / bypass without tone controls).

Sounds like great fusion

neural surround sounds interesting. never did have a chance to experience them..

Wanna ask,

1. How u connect em? I mean like for de 2 Ctrs..

2. Neural Music is in ur avr setting??
As far as I know , most of old / er Std Def DVD's only come in stereo [ n sum only mono - I know cos I collect sum old ttls myself ] n if u use Dolby Pro Logic or its kind - it does its job in ctring most of de signals to de ctr [ where most of de dialogue is ] so u stil can get de jist of de movie - not much effects but tats just wat it was back then..
So, is de 'Neural' Music setting any different than DPL?

3. No subs?
Granted .. if in ur catalog of ttls, tis prbbly would not be needed..
BUT.. wat if u wan to watch sumtin newer??

In the end, wat matters most is tat u like it... it might not be de 'rite' ting to do but wat de heck..

D

1. I wire the centres together to the receiver centre out. One wire to one centre, another to the other, in the same binding post of the receiver. Instead of bi-amping or bi-wiring,I guess I call it bi-speakering! So long as the receiver output can handle it and both the centres are preferably 8 ohms resistance.

2. Besides 'neural music', the other setting is Neo 6 music. Before I had this receiver (Pioneer VSX 1020), the even older 2nd hand receiver (Marantz SR66) only has Dolby and the sound is mostly concentrated in the centre without much from the front and rear surrounds especially for older movies without surround sound.

3. No subs. My belief is that if the front speakers can go down to about 35 Hz or below, it will be sufficient for the 'lows'. In that way, you save on electricity since all speakers are passive rather than active. Too much vibration is also bad for the walls and your heart!

So its parallel connection, where the ohm is calculate by 1/8 + 1/8 = 2/8 or 1/4

invert the top, u running 4 ohm now. Very high ampere stress to amp.

if want reduce the load, use series connection.
speaker A connect red wire to amp (red terminal), black wire to speaker B red terminal.
then speaker B connect black wire to amp (black terminal)

this become 8+8=16ohm, volume lower but safe

Thats the dolby prologic 1
u can set 3 different mode to prologic 2
