I just got my KSW-12. And have wired it up. This will be on a wood floor. Should I get a special kinda of either carpet or wood or somehting for the sub to fire into? What should i put under the sub for better sound? I think the sound quality would be increased with something better under it then an old creaky wood floor.

Hey guys I just purchased a KSW 12 and had heard of different ways to wire it up my reciever. It has 2 sub outputs. Now from what I understand these are not right and left sub since a sub is mono but they are just 2 sub outs so I know I run the 1 cable out of the reciever but on my KSW-12 I have 2 inputs. I have a L/LFE ( left ) and then a R ( right ) should I run my cable from the right out to the sub out? or my left/ lfe to my sub out OR should I run 1 cable out of the reciever and then to a Y to both inputs on the KSW-12 what are the benefits or whats the best way that will give me the best sound. Heres a picture of what I mean.

I want some deep bass so its probaly gonna be probaly the Velodyne CT100 or the KSW 12 the only sub i ever heard is an Acoustimass15 setup the bose crap it has 2 5.25s in it and it sounded ok nothing crazy im sure all three of these will blow it away but i didnt buy a sub yet im thinking now either KSW12 or Velodyne CT10 let me know what u guys think.

my room size is 15x12 will the KSW 10 be enough? you can read below what i have. I was gonna get the 12 but cant afford it and think it would maybe be over kill the only thing i have to compare to is my girlfirends "dont laugh" same size room with an acoustimass bose setup sub and its pretty loud will this 10 blow that away and will it be enough for my room? thanks ------------------ Daryl Gregg. ------------------------ My HT Setup so far ------------------------ Reciever - SONY STR-DE975 ( 110x5 ) DVD Player - SONY DVP-NS400D Center - Klipsch KSCC1 Mains - SB-3's Rears - Quintet's Sub - dunno yet ?

Hey guys I have the opertunity to buy either the KSW 12 or the Velodyne CHT10 which sounds better? handles more power? I know the KSW 12 weighs in at 36lbs or so and the Velodyne 55Lbs but weight doenst always tell the story as to which is a better sub. I would like whichever one sounds better and hits harder I would rather keep it klipsch if they will be simular ------------------ Daryl Gregg. ------------------------ My HT Setup so far ------------------------ Reciever - SONY STR-DE975 ( 110x5 ) DVD Player - SONY DVP-NS400D Center - Klipsch KSCC1 Mains - SB-3's Rears - Quintet's Sub - KSW 12 or Velodyne CHT10 ( AHHH DECISIONS ) Cables are all AR Proseries and tv is just a Panasonic POS for now.

Now on the KSW 12 is there 2 rca inputs?, should i run 2 cables or do I only need to run 1 cable? Also I am gettting a supposely 2 week old barely used KSW 12 for $250.00 is that a good price?

Thanks for the quick responses guys I am new to this well not new new but new to doing it the RIGHT Way. I have always been into stereos but now im turning into a audiophile nut and want all set up the way its suppose to sound.. Thanks, ------------------ Daryl Gregg. ------------------------ My HT Setup so far ------------------------ Reciever - SONY STR-DE975 ( 110x5 ) DVD Player - SONY DVP-NS400D Center - Klipsch KSCC1 Mains - SB-3's Rears - Quintet's Sub - KSW 12 Cables are all AR Proseries and tv is just a Panasonic POS for now.

Whats up guys well i finally picked up my SB-3s for fronts.They sound great with my SC-1 center channel. Whats the optimum height speaker stands I should use with these. The speakers are 17 inches tall. Also I was looking into a set of Wood Tech stands but all of them are like 8x8 where the speaker goes up top and the SB-3s are 8 wide x 11.25 deep. If you could recomend a stand that would work good ( shouldnt the stand be as deep as the speaker? )and also a Height of stand I would apreciate it.

LOL ok thanks DD...

OK thanks for all your input i am new to this thats why im asking hehheheh i dont wanna spend money I dont have too my budgets not the biggest im 22 and have lots of other bills hehe but thanks buddy I would love to hear what the rest of you think as well.. Is AR speaker wire good enought for my setup in 12 gauge? Thanks, ------------------ Daryl Gregg. ------------------------ My HT Setup so far ------------------------ Reciever - SONY STR-DE975 ( 110x5 ) DVD Player - SONY DVP-NS400D Center - Klipsch KSCC1 Mains - SB-3's Rears - Quintet's Sub - KSW 12 Cables are all AR Proseries and tv is just a Panasonic POS for now.

Question one, what are the benifits of Bi wiring I hear everyone saying it makes a big diffrence should you bi wire all your speakers or just your mains which serve as your primary stereo 2 channel speakers? as well as home theatre front speakers. And if so Can you biwire SB-3s? I have a Sony STR-DE975 Reciever not the greatest but this is my first home theatre setup its 110x5 and has all the goodies of the better ones. Whats a good speaker wire to run? I have all AR cables should i run AR speaker cable too? and if so what gauge 16? For my second question which are the best for the money speaker stands which will put my SB-3's at optimal height and a decent price im willing to spend up to $125 on speaker stands I just want a decent looking set as well as good performing and ones that the speaker fit on good and look nice. Any help i would apreciate thanks guys..
