I'm guessing the game is Counter Strike, or CS for the initiated.
I'm also guessing you won't get anything constructive from this forum.
I mean come on dude, you come here, and your only two posts are for asking sponsorship money... No company's gonna support that!

I don't know...
I've had mixed results with using the subs with the speaker level outputs, and i don't know whether it's possibleto run both line out and speaker out at the same time... must depend on the receiver.
Besides, after thinking about it for a while, it might be great to think that you're experiencing the mix like the sound designer had it in mind, i.e. full range all around and a strong lfe, but wouldn't it be kind of a waste to use a sub only for the rears?
I mean, I know there are SOME low frequencies going there on certain mixes, but sound designers aren't stupid, they know not many people have the possibility of having full range at the surrounds... So I'm guessing they don't send too much low-end signal in the back, right?
So basically, the rear subs would be wasted. I'd probably try both a full range all around setup, and then try to hook all the subs up to either the front outputs or the lfe, but scattering them all around, for a more surrounding bass. You'd have to really fight cancellation though.
You most certainly have more experience/expertise than me at multiple subwoofer problems, HornEd... How is your system hooked up right now?

people buy bose because:
they have great marketing
they are readily available
they havea great reputation outside of audiophile circles
they are space-saving
sometimes people don't really care about sound, their decor is more important to them
people are not often willing to drive for hours looking in every audio/video store to find the best speakers for their needs

from what i've seen, not at all like the matrix...

Are you serious?
-
thanks guys!
most of this i had already figured out, but i just wanted to know exactly how it worked.
ray, i have another question: how do you fit all that information in your brain? or are you using some kind of bioelectronic storage device?
-
You could hook up other sats to the sub, but remember two things: the amp is providing only 60 watts per satellite, and that may not be enough, depending what satellites you use, or even too much if you use cheap ones. Secondly, the ensemble is designed to work together; the crossover from the sub to the sats is adjusted for that sub and those sats. So you might get pretty horrible results with other satellites.
Mixing and matching can work, but there's also a very good chance that it won't...

Hi guys! I haven't been able to post a lot lately, my new job at an audio/video/electronics/computer store is taking all my time.
I have a question: when you run the amplified speaker level signal from your amp through your sub to use its crossover so that the bass goes to it instead of the speakers, does the bass get "re-amplified" somehow by the sub? I know approximately how a crossover works, and how the high frequencies get sent to the speakers, but I was wondering if it was the amp driving the sub or if the sub's amp, which is often much more powerful, took over for those frequencies.
Just wondering if it was my Sony str-db830 driving my 12-inch PW2200 Paradigm...
-
I love my PW2200 for movies and it's punch and low end extension, but at maximum volume (which you won't use in your room normally) it's a little "sloppy"...
I guess you can't expect miracles form a big 12 incher, and i don't think the other subs mentioned would be much better at that though!

just do the beginning adjustments with the meter, but then adjust by ear. after all, you're not going to listen to your setup via the RS meter, but via your ears and brain.
so just set the sub where you like it.
i have it set up very high because I like BASS!!!

I have an Indian friend.
came here (Canada) with 10 bucks in his pockets and no knowledge of either French or English.
he has worked enough to allow himself to get into University.
now tell me that it's not true anyone can make it. screw the beggars on the streets, except the ones with disabilities. it is possible and very doable to find a job with any level of skill or experience. proof, high school students can do it.
-
yeah but then the output that was below 30Hz, at say 25Hz, and was almost not discernible, is now more present. of course the relative volumes would tend to be the same so really you wouldn't gain much in extension, but if you take the word purely to mean "this(these) sub(s) has(have) useable output down to X", then the two subs would have useable output lower. i guess i was trying to make a foggy point, sorry for that.
whatever, just remember that when you add more subs, you gain more volume than extension.
-
two differences-look at the size and amplification.
as said before, the 90P is an active speaker, meaning at least its bass drivers are amplified by an internal amp. secondly it has 3 8 inchers while the 11s have only 3 6 1/2 inchers.
subwoofer is supposed to be for the REALLY low frequencies, like 80Hz and lower. bass is anything between that and say 200-400Hz, bass-midrange is that and up to like 5k.
those are approx., i may be way off, but it's just to tell you that they're supposed to be named after their usage. in this case it may vary a bit. guess they had to have to use different words to describe the differences between the 11s and 90P.
-
from the little I know, this would not be feasible.
correct me if i'm wrong, but an amplifier can only take line level input, right? meaning very weak...
an amp can't just take an amplified signal and then amplify it even more. this would anyways definitely be overkill, depending which speakers you'd use it with of course.
lastly, this is not bi amping. bi amping means you hook up one amp to the bass section of your speaker, and another to the higher frequency section, using the two pairs of connectors in the back of the speaker.
-
well jpahl, by definition, if stacking two subs makes the ensemble louder, then where you used to have smaller amounts of bass (i.e. below the rolloff point), you'll have more, which makes for more usable bass at the lowest limit, thereby effectively reaching lower volumes with usable output.
as to several subs in the same room... well it can certainly be a tricky thing to achieve, but I'd experiment with the subs left and right, and one in the rear maybe, hooked between the receiver and the rear speakers... that way you can run the rears large and you'll have more directionality, both left/right and front/rear. that's the advantage. the disadvantage is that you can, and probably will, run into weird problems of cancellations and reinforcements of certain frequencies in certain spots.
once again the operative word is EXPERIMENT...
-
probably an issue related to bass management, or maybe the pioneer was just not too bass-oriented...
could be a lot of things really. did you change anything else in the system, or change rooms?
-
You can surely upgrade, but if you can bear the wait, I'd advise you to just save up for another home-built computer.
Compaqs are crap, it's very cumbersome to upgrade them and you'll never get the level of performance you should reasonably expect with a computer of those specs.
With the price of hardware so low these days, it's not like it's really a major investment anyways!
-
nope.
you'll have to have some form of amplification, be it a receiver (most practical and best results with a soundcard, you'd use the digital out of the soundblaster) or separate amplifier(s).
either way, I think you should wait for the upcoming promedia 5.1.
check the promedia board for more info.
-
post to the promedia forum, you will actually get answers there.
quick answer is no, or at least VERY unlikely.
the "kit" to bring the v2.400 to 4.1 as you say wasn't really that by the way. they just offered a replacement control pod with additional features but the actual speakers are still not the same in a 4.1 system.

"more problems with the 4.1 than the v2.400"??
I think there should be an FAQ on statistics evidently placed on this board.
this is the Klipsch bulletin board. where do you think klipsch owners with problems are going to come first, especially promedia users (implying computer users)? That's right, here! That is why we get so many "horror stories" here. We simply get all the problems, while the satisfied users most often stay out of here.
it used to be that people we thinking "oh my god there are so many problems with the v2.400, it's horrible!" after reading the boards. now that nobody new is getting v2.400 and the old users have had problematice sets replaced or repaired (for the most part), the majority of people post about 4.1 and 2.1 systems!!
it's simply a numbers game! come on! do you think the couple dozen people that come on this board with problems every year form the majority, or even a significant portion of promedia buyers?
it's been said so many times before but it seems it's never enough. guess i'm just going to copy/paste this in a text editor and save it for future use!
/edit/
oh, by the way, the GREAT majority of relatively high-powered amp/speakers combos will emit hiss when idle, even without being plugged into a source. my home theater system does it, and cost quite a bit more than a couple hundred bucks. dunno if that's what you're referring to as "random noises" but I just wanted to clear that up.

is there any real 7.1 material/hardware out there except for pro audio?
been looking for that for a relatively long time in the consumer market, I think it would be the next logical step forward (after matrixed 6.1) and something I would love to experiment with.

is there a setting for "tiny"?
small. definitely.

how did that person dare...
ah well, guess I was better off being away!
AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH NO SUBWOOFER YET?
you're one of them, aren't you? (suspicious look on his face)
guess it's time to change my sig!
