filmguy, keep in mind the best specification to look at when evaluating a subwoofer is the output at 1 meter from the speaker at different frequency ranges. Typically you have to do some research from a third party that has evaluated different subs. While the wattage of the amp, size of the woofer, frequency range of the sub is all good, what the sub produces is where the tire hits the road.

The plastic feet are typically used on any surface. On hard surfaces i.e. Hardwood or Tile place, use the rubber inserts into the feet. On Carpet you can use the metal spikes. I have mine on carpet and use the rubber inserts.

No need to Yell at us.

How far from a Dealer are you? You have two choices. Borrow a pair from someone you know and try them out, or buy a pair from a dealer with a good return policy and take them home to try them out.

As far as setting the subwoofer I would get an SPL meter and a good reference DVD. From what I have heard the YAPO is good for setting the rest of your speakers.

I agreee with CAS. While the sub is rated that low it does not have the db's unlike my Sunfire. But regardless the difference was substantial between the 10 and 12. The Klipsch sub is not boomy. Now to be honest are you looking for major impact or a good sub to complement your mains?.

I thought the foam in the speakers was a place to set Bose Acoustic Modules so they can rest. The Bose can fit perfectly inside the port.

There are a lot of people on this board not willing to help a semi newbie ---------------- It some times takes a while for people to get around to answering questions. It's nothing agaist you or your status. I sometimes post a question and it goes unanswered for a time. So don't get discouraged and keep posting. When you do get the RC-7 you will want to get the RF-7 mains very quickly. Both are awsome speakers. In terms of Klipsch subs, I would not hesitate to purchase one. The RSW series are very good and comes with a think a 5 year warranty. I have owned two Klipsch subs, (SW-8II and the RW-12) and have never had any problems. I have seen a few posts about the RSW-15 subs but keep in mind that many here on the forum have the RSW's and have not had problems.

Since you have future upgrade plans I would place your exisitng center speaker in the back when you buy your new one. I would not waste any money on buying a RS now. Dump all you can into the center and mains.

I don't know about the JBL subs but between the RW-10 and 12, it is deffinitly worth it to get the 12. I originally purchased the 10 and returned it for the 12. Besides the 4 hz diff, the 12 has a more powerful amp.

I didn't car for it two much. Fair but not something I will watch again.

It use to be the first two digits were the year and the next two were the week of manufacture. i.e. 00352579 Year 2000 35th week.

Yes there are apart of the serial number. I'll check on mine and let you know exactly where on the number.

I agree with CJ, 14" is gettng close but probalbe will be fine. I have mine about 14" also do to placement issues and it seem to sound fine. I do have my RF's toed in also which helps (I think) open up the ports.

Some claim a slight increase in bass db by connecting to both left and right input.

I second or third what gamma and the rest say. The best match is always the same speaker. Next and probable just as good is stay in the KG line of speakers. Check Klipsches web side for pictures and specs on the older KG's.

Sorry, I just needed another post to get of 666

Really the next logical step up in the Reference line is the RC7 and RF-7 speakers. Now speaking from experience I can say you don't need to audition them. Just go and get them. They are worth every penney.

Exactly, as Scooter said there are two components in receiving and decoding DD signal. First you have to receive it and send it to a decoder. In reagards to your set top atenna you have to send the signal digitally to a decoder. There are typically two type of connections. Optical or Digital coax. Both are single type connections. Next you have to send it to a receiver to decode the signal and send it out to your speakers.

Yes Indy, that's what I did. Start everything to Large and Sub only. Play a good movie chapter then switch your setting to small and listen to the same chapter again. You will probable do this many time. Set it to what sounds the best to you. I ended up on my set up to small for all speaker and sub only.

I honestly do not think it really matters as long as you are confortable while watching. I look at the theaters I go to and I sit anywhere from below the screen to sitting in the upper half.

In my experience if the TV is less then a couple of years old it's about 50% of what you paid. Sorry.

So I take it your running you center speaker wire into your sub then out to your center channel. I guess this will fill out your center if it needs it.

Haven't seen it due it receiving very poor reviews. Thanks Y for confirming it.
