In order to do it you run two sets of positive and two sets of negative cables from your receiver into your speakers. You would remove the metal jumpers that are on the back of the speakers that are connecting the LF and HF sections. What it does is similar to using a thicker gauge of wire from the receiver to speaker. There's many opinions both for and against bi-wiring. Go ahead and experiment with it and if you can hear a difference, then by all means use that way to connect your speakers. They can also be used for bi-amping which involves using a completely different amplifier for the HF and LF sections of the speaker. Bi-amping is much more complicated and involved and as with bi-wiring there are many people who swear by it and many people who think its a waste of money.

Far Side for the win! I really miss those cartoons. I think it should say "Welcome to heaven, here's your Klipsch. Welcome to hell, here's your Bose" Hilarious! (In the original it said "Welcome to hell, here's your accordion.")

Great buy!

Has your subwoofer ever had any sound coming from it or is it a problem that recently started happening? On the setup menu of your receiver do you have your subwoofer set to "On"? Does it work if you change to different surround modes? Do you have your speakers set to "Large or Small?" What do you have your crossover levels set at? 80Hz is where many people have theirs set. Before you start monkeying around with different troubleshooting things I'd lower the sub's level on your receiver to 0. You don't want to start blasting bass through your sub once you get everything figured out. Just a general recommendation regarding subwoofers, and that is to set the levels on the sub itself as high as they can go as far as gain, crossover, etc. Then let your receiver handle adjusting those items.

You can always try any RCA interconnect cable you have to see if the cable that you have hooked up currently is faulty. That would be the first thing I'd check.

Next time you get your pill prescription filled, look for the bottle labeled "CHILL." You typed HEREY rears, as in HAIRY rears. I wasn't making fun of the fact that you have HERESY rears. I was pointing out that it made me laugh when I read it as hairy rears. Thanks for making fun of my Mustang too. [Y]

Sorry, but herey rear just made me laugh.

It did make sense to me. You look at any audio component and go through the list of THD, S/N, etc, etc and if you completely remove that from the equation it should result in a cleaner signal path. Maybe my next order of business should be to sell the h/k and buy the Sonic Super-T with the $$. []

Instead of using my harman/kardon 3480 as a pre-amp I connected my oppo DVD player directly to my Sonic Impact T-amp with my friend's KLF-30s hooked up. There was a richness to the sound that could be noticed but bass was lacking (of course). So I now have oppo > SVS sub > Sonic Impact T-amp for my connections. Now the bass is there and the sound still seems better than with the oppo > h/k > SVS sub > T-amp. What I'm hearing is more pronounced bass and also upper frequency information sounds sharper and more detailed. I guess all around voices, instruments and pretty much everything sounds better. Could the h/k receiver used as a pre-amp really affect the sound quality that much? (The oppo has its own volume control - I have the T-amp gain turned all the way up and adjust the volume on the oppo remote. Used for both audio CDs and DVDs)

You'll probably get pretty close to $1000 for them.

I felt that way with my Sonic Impact t-amp. I just today connected my oppo directly to the t-amp instead of using my HK as a pre-amp. Definitely has improved the sound.

There has to be one in every crowd...[]

I think the Academy is a match but they are very hard to find and expensive ($400+). I don't think any of the Reference series speakers will match well as surrounds. Do you have room for another pair of Fortes for rear surrounds?

No one go near my squibs!

You can click on 'Report Abuse' in the lower right of anyone's post. This will flag the thread/post to someone such as Amy who will decide what to do. A good rule of thumb on a board such as this is to accept things that have been locked/deleted/closed as taking place for a good reason which sometimes is unknown to many of us.

No. I'd say with 99.9% certainty it is a Rockford Fosgate car subwoofer. Someone probably blew the original woofer.

Welcome to earth.

I'm sure most here are familiar with the song Dueling Banjos made famous in the movie Deliverance. Some of you are probably familiar with the game Guitar Hero. Well, here's a combination of the two. Looks to be medium difficulty at first, then wait until just after the 2 minute point in the video. []

Yes.

If its a powered speaker I'm assuming you're running some sort of interconnect or RCA cable into it? If so, one thing to try is a shielded directional cable if you're not already using one.

Turn the crossover on the sub as high as it goes, let the receiver handle that. You definitely don't want 80Hz if the low end of your mains is 92Hz. I would just toggle back and forth between 100 and 120 and see what you like best.

No, at least not yet. As time goes on I'll probably do little things to it now and then. JLT intake and a SCT tuner will probably be next mods.

My boss actually had an 01 Mustang GT convertible just like mine a few years back. His was the Bullitt anthracite color though. I remember driving it thinking it was not too bad as far as handling. He then bought a 00 Mercedes SL500 AMG. I think the rear tires on that car are something like 275/40/17 or something. Super wide and low profile. I never thought a car could ride so smoothly on tires like that. Its a great car, although I think it tips the scales at something like 4200 pounds. You'd never think that looking at how small it is. I think U.S. cars, especially sports cars, have traditionally been built from the engine on down. Stuff a gas-guzzling high horsepower engine into a mediocre chassis and call it a day. European cars tend to be more built from the wheels on up. Make all the suspension goodies work in sync with each other and if it has a nice engine, bonus! Heck, even Carroll Shelby had to look overseas to find a worthy chassis for his Cobras!
