The VSX-920-K is a great receiver. I have had no problems with it so far. Got it with the blue tooth adapter for $300 on ebay.

That's what I was afraid of. I will wait until I get that amp to hook it up again. []

It is a dual 4 ohm so it can be wired to 2 ohms in parallel and 8 ohms series And I currently have it wired to 2 ohms.

So just as a little update, I connected my sub directly to center channel on my receiver to see what would happen and I like the results! Music sounds very good and I watched a few parts of Transformers 2 and that sounded good. I'm wondering if there is anything wrong with this method?

Well my receiver has only a sub pre out meaning I could connect a RCA there and then the XLR to the amp. But I would only be using one channel correct? How much power would I be getting from only one channel? And thanks in advance for all the help!

I guess my last question to test your knowledge [H] is how do I connect the Behringer to my receiver? I wouldn't want to go buy it and then not even be able to use it.

Definitely. I was unaware of these "clip lights"

So if im understanding this correctly, then if I connect the 2 voice coils to the 2 channels on the back of that amp I will be getting 950W RMS with the gain approx half way turned up?

So is all that power really necessary?

Using an amp like that I would be pushing 950 watts RMS at 4 ohms. I didn't think I needed that much power.

Here is the link to my exact sub I guess the question is: Should I just get a Klipsch sub like I had planned or save a lot of money and try to make this one work?

I figured I would need a plate amp. Yes, it is sealed and it's a 4 ohm sub. I was thinking maybe > http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=300-805 or > http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=300-750

How would I go about hooking it up since it doesn't have a line level input?

Yes, I have seen all of that already. I'm still going to try it the way I have set up. I'm sure I will be able to notice if something doesn't sound right. I could move them a little bit closer to what it should be if needed. I'm just now getting into home theater and wanted to experiment a little bit.

I don't think putting the surrounds directly to the left and right of the seating area is logical. It would seem as they would over power the other speakers. Plus, I heard they should be at ear level standing up, which makes it impossible to set up in my situation. Mine are not directly behind my seating, but at an angle.

If I have 5 speakers (center, 2 fronts, and 2 surrounds) and I opted to place my 2 surrounds behind my seating (instead of directly to the right and left) should I plug those 2 surrounds into the surround right/left or the surround back right/left on my 7.1 receiver? Or does it matter?

I'm just recently getting into home audio (big car audio guy) and I'm in the process of getting items for my theater. I was thinking about getting a Klipsch sub when I thought what would the difference be if I hooked up a car sub in my room. Right now I'm currently not using a 15" enclosed sub that I think would do great. I know the bass might seem weak with smaller subs, but wouldn't a 15" do good. (Not talking sound quality wise exactly because the sub would just be for really low sounds like explosions anyway) Correct me if I'm wrong on anything and feel free to tell me what you guys think.
