What will happen when I show them my 22"------------monitor. haha

When I get the 5.1s I think i will get some jumper cables and cut the ends off and use then as speaker wire. Come on guys, these are computer speakers we're talking about not some $100k loadspeaker set-up. I don't want to offend anyone but it's gettin' kinda goofy with all the mods.

Coming out the WEEK of the 15th, that means anywhere between the 9th and the 20th of July, hopefully the smaller side of the 15th!

Hey snakescott, did you get the dustcover to popout on your sat?

Don't know the answer for your first ? but as for the dimpled sat. I'm guessing your dustcover for the voice coil (center) get a toothpick and put a small piece of tape on the end, put just enough pressure to stick the tape then gently pull out and then carefully pull tape off. Hope this helps.

Justin, Yamaha all the way for a receiver, for a TV I suggest Mitsubishi HDTV ready. I've owned 2 for many years and never had any problems!! A good Yamaha Topart system $400ish

Yeah it made a BIG difference on the SAT. system.

If the sub is bottoming out it probably because DVD's encoded w/Dolby Digital & DTS use "LFE" Low freq. effect. Very hard on subs not intended for freq. in the mid 20hz. with high gain. Just lower your sub setting or volume. If I messed-up on my exp. please forgive me!

What is the best way to hook-up an external amp to a SB Live 5.1 w/ Livedrive IR. Thinking about using my Yamaha AC3 amp/tuner w/some higher end speakers and sub. Don't know if I should use the optical out on the Livedrive or what? Suggestions greatly taken!

Thanx for the replies, Yeh I got tired of upgrading ALL of the time so you do what you gotta do. So I can't wait for the 5.1s and I'll look into the gametheater xp but I think I'll wait for a little while.

Thanx for the info.I'm an adult with a job and the set-up minus the monitor was $1900. I'm even considered a 4.2 set-up. Thanx again!

I've just ordered a kick*** computer and I don't know if I should Wait 3 weeks for the 5.1 or go with the 4.1s. Will be gaming mostly but also will DVD on occations. Room size 15'x13' 11' ceiling . I already have a very good HT set-up in the den. Two 8" subs sound very tempting to wait for! Computer set-up: 1.33ghz T-bird 266, 512mb DDR2100, 60 gig HD, 16x10x40 Plextor cd-rw, 16x a-open dvd, SB Live 5.1 Platinum, Livedrive IR, Leadtek GeForce3 64DDR, 22" Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2060u. Any suggestions Very Welcome!!!
