Nice and simple , what did you use to make the graph, and btw I think there off by one increment. The dip should be at 36 HZ on the normal postion line. Nice job though. Now My question, being a newb that I am, what does this info tell me? That it would be ok to use the hole for a sub? Thanks

There raw numbers, let me put together the excel files. ok emailed.

Ok I redid the test, and with the volume on my VSX-43TX @ -20. And the Subs volume @ 1 click past 12:00. I figured it would be easier for you to put the values in your self since I dont have anyway to host the file for you to redownload. I tested up to 89 Hz, didnt do 100 cause I forgot it when I burned the cd. With the Spl meter at C weighting slow response and with sub in normal position(on side wall midways between cubby hole and listening position)and SPL meter siting on couch, pointed at cubby hole(or straight ahead). 10Hz = --- 12.5Hz = --- 15Hz = 59 17.5Hz = 64 20Hz = 79 22Hz = 89 25Hz = 91 28Hz = 93 32Hz = 95 36Hz = 84 40Hz = 93 45Hz = 96 50Hz = 92 56Hz = 97 63Hz = 100 71Hz = 95 80Hz = 90 89Hz = 93 With the Sub rearrange so that it is where the couch is, and measuring from on top of my center channel in the cubby whole. 10Hz = --- 12.5Hz = --- 15Hz = 60 17.5Hz = 71 20Hz = 81 22Hz = 85 25Hz = 95 28Hz = 100 32Hz = 103 36Hz = 99 40Hz = 98 45Hz = 101 50Hz = 101 56Hz = 104 63Hz = 85 71Hz = 96 80Hz = 103 89Hz = 103 During this test at 63 hz you can see a big dip, While I was measuring these, I left the cd player on repeat, and just walked back and forth measuring and writing, and switching tracks. During the test all of the notes except 63 was quiter while I was in the middle of the room, but 63 hz was louder in the middle of the room and quieter close to the couch and close to the cubby whole. I thought that was weird how that one tone acted different. The levels were overall higher with the sub rearranged, so I guessing that would be a allright spot to place a sub? THanks

What I was saying is if you put the sub where you normally sit and place the meter where the sub is going to go, the graph you get will be close to what it would be if the two were flip flopped around. Does that help? ---------------- Im so frustrated, I could bite nails in half. I done the test, The first one was with the sub sitting where the couch was( I moved the couch out of the living room and Placed the sub there.), I noticed the reading were lower on alot of the lower freq, but Stupid me didnt think anything of it . So then I moved the furniture back into the living room. And Did the second test where Everything is normal. Well As I was setting the sub back into its home, I notice the volume knob was about 10:00 psoition, when I normally keep it 1 click passed 12:00. That was when It all clicked together . So now im just listening to some music to sooth the angry feeling. So basically my first test, which required all the moving of furniture, is void . But thanks For your Help, I will try to take the other test again, since you went out of your way to help me do this. Thanks

I was hoping it would boost the bass some, but wont the measurements be diffrent since the the bass would be coming from inside a cubby hole vs from a flat wall? When I get home I will see what I can come up with, the wife wont be home till later.

I have all but a test cd, but I do have a burner, just not any test tones.

I could probably place my sub in front of the tv an try that, but there no way I could place it as high as I want the new subs by my self. I dont even think I have a table around that I could try setting it on. Does elevation hurt it, if not then maybe I could take the Tv out of thehole and place my sub in there and try that? Thanks

My TV sits in a recessed area in the wall, from the back of the center speaker is 15" to the wall, about 40" to the top of the area. The hole is 64" wide. I was thinking of maybe building a sub to place back in there since I dont have any room for another that is suitable, My RSW-15 is already beside a open wall. Would the cubby hole hurt any sub in there or how would it react. Does it hurt for a sub to be elevated that high? http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/bkp_80@sbcglobal.net/vwp?.dir=/STEREO&.dnm=TV.jpg&.view=t Thanks

Why do you prefer the PB2-plus vs the dual 20-39's. I have never heard a svs or too many other home subs so I have no clue about there output. And one other thing does it hurt for a sub to be raised off the ground about a 1' or 2' especially one of the cylinder subs? Thanks

We'll what I mean is like when I crank up the HT watching LOTR Twin Towers during the opening scene(Gandolf and the demon), Say I cranked it as fars as possible without bashing my RSW-15. Would the 2 SVS be at the same point of fixen to distort, or would they be able to keep going? Thanks

I currently have a RSW-15 in a room about 23' wide by 17' long. From what I read I have my sub in the worst place ever, its right beside a opening in the wall going to the kitchen. So im wondering about maybe a couple or single SVS 20-39 CS . My question is how do you run these along with the RSW-15. I'm new to this but it seems like you could reach the limits of one setup while the other still has room to push. Like one could start distorting and the others still want more power. How do you run these so you can get the most out of both? Hope someone can decypher what I'm trying to say. Thanks

The SVS's wire is the grey one behind them, they connect to the sub on the back under by the driver. I can't tell if you are being serious as for the wires or being sarcastic, hard to tell through typing ---------------- Nah man all compliments here, no sarcasm. Do you daisy chain the SVS's or what, how do they hook up. Especially if you only have one LFE output on a A/V .

Heres a post of someone who had theres calibrated. Goes into pretty good detail, and the techs website has listing of different techs in different areas. http://forums.klipsch.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=39114&forumID=69&catID=19&search=1&searchstring=&sessionID={E58FAEED-0EDE-436E-910C-3424ADDCC7AB}

Nice job, where do the wires go on the first pic. so consealed I cant even see them.

I dont have a problem with ordering online, the way I look at is Klipsch is a very solid product, and has been tested and put through all th trials. I wouldnt condider them if I thought they was gonna break down within a year. I orderd all of my audio from Hooked on tronics, and would gladly do it again. They left me messages on my recorder on the products that they didnt have in stock and offered me a better deal on items to replace them, for Instance The didnt have the RF-35's I wanted but they did have RF-5's and gave them to me for a less price that what my authorised dealer was gonna give me for the 35's. All of my speakers came with all the serial numbers and unopened boxes. I read somewhere that unless they specify open box or refurbished, then it is unopened and untouched item. Im not trying to sell anyone on them, Im just saying I had a very good experience and was able to purchase a nice HDTV with some of the money I saved. Good Luck with whatever you choose.
