I'm looking for some outdoor speakers to put on my back patio, and I'm torn between these two: AW525 or KHO-7 Any suggestions? Also I'm not for sure if a single pair is going to be loud enough, does anyone have any personal experience with these?

This thread might help you out a bit: http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/111696.aspx I'm happy with the OmniMount 20 speaker mounts I bought for my RS-52's.

It's a nice receiver, my dad just bought one. I have the RX-V3900, but that's out of your price range. http://www.6ave.com/shop/Product.aspx?sku=YAMRXV663BL Use aflaud25 coupon code and get it for $375 shipped.

I have the RW12D, which is a ported subwoofer, and I'm almost tempted to buy an Icon XW-500d sealed subwoofer to put in the back of my room as well. I think sealed subwoofers sound better, but it all depends on what you're listening to. I wonder if there's any problem mixing a ported/sealed sub.

My Y cable came with my subwoofer cable.

Well I was playing with it a little bit this morning, and the port seems to be rattling. If I put a little pressure on the port it stops. Does this sound like a defect or what?

So how do you like having 2 subwoofers? I'm tempted to change out RW-12d for something different, but I don't know. Having some port noise or some other problem as posted here: http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/p/87323/1153446.aspx#1153446 I don't know whether to add a subwoofer, or replace it with a different one.

So you going to clean up that wire mess now?

I'm pretty sure, but I need to loop a movie scene over and over to verify this, because it only does it during certain parts.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I figured this thread has the most information so far, so no point in starting a new one. I'm not too happy with my bass during movies. It sounds great with music, but it seems it doesn't rumble like I would think it should. I've also heard this port noise, I can't seem to pin it down though, at first I thought it was something vibrating on my wall, then I thought it was the grill of the subwoofer, but now after reading this I'm almost sure that it is port noise. What can I do about it?? My crossover on my subwoofer is at 120hz, and I'm not for sure what it is on my receiver, but I will check to see it's set at 80hz. It's set on Flat, but I seem to like Punch and Depth settings as well. The gain is set to 0 on the subwoofer, and 0 on my receiver. When I optimized my receiver it turned it down to -6, but I enjoy bass so I turned it back up to 0. I guess it's all a matter of playing with it and getting it to sound the way I want it to, but that port noise is really annoying at times, and it doesn't seem like I'm over-driving it at the time since there's not much bass coming out whenever I hear it. Let me know, this is driving me crazy!!

I have the Harmony 890RF, and I love it. Works great through walls, and no problems here. Can easily change the order of where the buttons are, and reprogram them. I even taught my girlfriend how to use it.

Yup, I built this one, pretty easy

You position the speaker where you want it, then hold it there. With the help of a friend have them tighten that allen head down with a pair of vise grips, and then the speaker isn't going anywhere. If you need to change it, you must loosen the allen head and re-adjust. You could break the mount if you try to move it while tightened down. If I were to do it again, I'd buy these same mounts, so yes I think the 20 is fine. Yes, see here: http://www.klipsch.com/products/details/rs-52.aspx Mounting Keyhole bracket and Dual 1/4"-20 threaded inserts

Yeah I mounted them on studs. They feel pretty sturdy, but I wouldn't want to put much more weight on them. I believe the mounts are rated at 20lbs and the speakers are 15lbs. It's a 2 man job.
