  1. I use a Pioneer VSX 1121K as my HT receiver. It has preamp outs for all channels in addition to about 100 WPC on all channels built in. I send the two front left and right preamp outs to a Carver C-1 preamp on "Aux 2" and send that to a Carver M 1.0t amp and send the amp to the two fronts, which are Chorus II.

    If I want to listen to stereo, I send my CD player preamp out to the "Aux 1 in" on the C-1. Rotate knob to Aux 1 and listen to CD. I use the volume knob on the C-1 to control volume.

    When I watch movies, I rotate the C-1 to "Aux 2" and put volume at 12:00 on the Carver C-1. I let the Pioneer MCAAC do all the adjustments. Just have to remember to set the volume to 12:00 on the Carver C-1.

    I also have a Samsung Blueray player with a HDMI connected to the Pioneer. I can play a cd in there and the power comes from the Carver M1.0t. When I do this I have to change the speaker selection on the Pioneer to stereo I think. I forget what I do unless I am standing right there.

    I use the built in FM tuner on the Pioneer at night for music. I just hit the tuner button on the remote.

    I can also use a cable and hook up an Ipod or Iphone or an MP3 player to listen to stereo, using a front port on the Pioneer. Power comes from the Carver M 1.0t.

    There is a way to also have my Lab 12 tapped horn sub play at the same time when I listen to music.

    The Carver never gets turned off, It is on 24/7. Unless I am at work, the Pioneer is always on too.

    I hope this isn't too confusing. Bill

  2. I didn't even hook them up. All four diaphragms are either burned or missing. Both woofers have 5.3 ohms so I am assuming they are good. Are you saying that I want phenolic instead of titanium? Where can these be sourced? Bill
