I'll try to get some pics posted, the ceiling is 14 ft

Does anyone have an opinion on sub cable for a 50 ft run? The brand (mediabridge Ultra) I was looking at is basically RG6 coax with gold plated connectors. The reviews on Amazon were mostly favorable but I trust the judgment of this Forums members more.

Thanks RoboKlipsch, These subs are designed for corner placement. Mustang guy recommended that I set one to 60 Hz limit and the 2nd higher to blend in with the mains

Guys, here is a diagram of the room and current setup. Please give me your recommendations for optimum sub placement as well as settings.....I really appreciate your help once again...

Just read the links you attached Mustang Guy, very interesting. Btw, your LaScala setup must sound incredible

Guys, I'll make a diagram of my current room set up today and post it for you to see. I went back and re-read all of your past posts which is very helpful. I really appreciate your advice and assistance!!!!! Thank you so much......

Mustang Guy, you and Scrappydue helped me out a lot 4 yrs ago when I was setting up my sub. thanks for all the enjoyment I've had!!!! In the meantime I decided to add a 2nd rt 12d and am looking for your expert advice once again. How should I set 2 subs up?? Help....... Thanks in advance Kim

Thanks for the reply, I'm interested, can you e-mail me at womerke@corning.com?

I'm looking to add a 2nd black RT 12D subwoofer. Does anyone know where I can find one in good condition?

Had to go out of town for a while & just ran the YPAO. Bottom line: sounds great! Thanks for all the help......

Oh yeah, when I was playing with the yamaha last night I noticed the LFE is turned on and setting is 0.0 db and gives me the option of lowering the setting. It also gives me 3 options regarding different cominations of which speakers to direct the LFE signals to, I just left it alone. I'll make sure it's off at the sub....There's a hell of a lot to learn here.....

I'll take care of that tonight..... I haven't run the YPAO check yet and it sounds great. It'll be interesting if it improves it further......

I made the changes last night & it sounds MUCH better, however I didn't see your recent posts till this AM. Will plan to make those changes then run the YPAO. If those changes make it sound any better than it does now I'll be ecstatic, huge improvement already.....will keep you posted. Thanks again guys....

Sorry for the confusion but she's a he. That's ok, not the first time (or last) that happened. If I deciphered the recommendations correctly I'll go home tonight and do the following: 1. Change speaker setting to small 2. Set speaker Bass min Frequency at 60 HZ 3. Set sub filter at 80 HZ 4. Raise volume control on sub to almost max 5. Set sub power level at AVR at 0.0 db 6. Turn off LFE at sub Did I miss anything?

Alot of great advice here on this forum, thanks everybody. I have a lot of options to try now, and obviously alot to learn along the way. Will let you know how I make out with the suggestions. On anothere topic, would the RS-62's serve me better on the sides than the RB-81's? I listen to alot of blu-ray music concerts so I would have to say music is more important to me than the movie surround stage.

This is all great advice, can't wait to get home to have some fun with these settings. I currently have the sub high pass filter set to 125HZ and LFE turned off at the sub, should I leave these settings alone as is?

The sub is 12 ft directly behind me. Also, my sides are RB - 81's not 61's, sorry. Can you explain what the effect of setting speakers to small does in a little more detail?

Thanks all for the help!!! Last night I turned the LFE off at the sub, set the LPF at the sub at 125 HZ, set sub power level at AVR to 0.0 db. raised the bass speaker gain to othe 7 speakers by 2 db & it is closer to what sounds good to me. My speakers are set for "large" however, should the setting be at "small"? they are: Front L & R - RF 83 Center - RC 64 Side L & R - RB 61 Rear L & R - RF 83

Thanks for the help, I certainly appreciate it Not familiar with terms HPF (high pass filter?) or LFE, can you elaborate further? The current sub setting is: Music EQ mode - punch Room correction - on Low pass - 100 HZ Low pass slope - 36 db/octave Phase - 0

Can anyone recommend a good starting point to set-up my RT12D sub? I currently have it set for music, room correction is turned on & It sits 12ft directly behind my listening spot, receiver is Yamaha RX V3800, 7.1 suround speaker set-up., room is on the lg size with high ceilng. Where should crossover Frequency be set? volume setting at sub? power setting at receiver? I like a little extra bass punch. Thank you......
