Unfortunately upfront is my only option

What I'm concerned with is double stacking or having the subs elevated 4 in a row they will be a ft off the ground,

For my configuration what would be the best sounding placement stacked or 4 side by side

So guys I need your help, I have 2 r-112sw and debating trading them in for a pair of the 115sw or purchasing 2 more 12s and either doing double stacked corner loaded or place 4 12s on a mantle that is elevated 1' off the ground, I love bass..

Thanks for your suggestions, I prefer to always buy new. How did you like the Xpa-5?

I like the price range of the emotiva 700 or less I am I Portland Oregon

Looks like it does have pre outs for the center chanel, the emotiva outputs 200 wpc at 8ohm, just trying to get some opinions on the amp, I'm picking up the Yamaha today but am open to different options on the amp

This last weekend I purchased a set of RP-280fa and a set of RP-140sa to build a 7.1.4 I just ordered the Yamaha 3050 and in order to run all speakers I need a additional amp, I am leaning to the emotiva xpa-3 to power my RP-450ca along with my fronts. Do you guys have any suggestions?

I just purchased my second 112, I am very pleased with the quality of these subsI kinda wonder what the 115s would sound like? I did get to demo them at frys but they only had one and in a poorly designed demo room I was not impressed. My OCD tells me to trade the 112s in and up pay for the larger subs but I would hate to compromise I'm very happy with the 112s and don't want to lose all my mid bass for the low end bass only You will not lose any midbass. The 15s will do everything the 12s are doing just better. So do you think that it's worth paying a extra $500 to trade them in for the 112s?

Right on mustang guy! I'm a newbie at all this and I don't understand all the technical information I bought good equipment and I'm learning as I go

I have no intentions on lowering the bass output. I am interested in some panels if they do help a little with keeping the bass in my house, help out with the over all sound quality and I would like to really turn my family room into beutiful home theater. I think just having one couch in the middle of the room would open up my front stage so I can place the subs towards the outer of the room and have the fronts closer together

Do you have any good articles on using bass traps or acoustic panels? I'm very interested in this. I have 3 couches right now and it's more of a family room setting but I'm going to do away with them and look into one home theater style couch so I can open up my room for better sound.

Mission accomplished. Lastnight was jamming to Tron and my wife just called and said the neighbors came and asked us to turn our home theater system down at night. It's shaking their whole house!! Any good suggesting for acoustic dampening? Now I want to get the 115s hahaha

So would you suggest just having my gains 3/4 and recalibrate and then not to mess with anything? When I did that it reads a level error. I really want these guys to pound hard

I purchased 2 r-112sw this weekend after getting my calibration down I have them set at 3/4 gain on both and they pound pretty hard

It calibrated at -4 but I manually put the sub trim at +3 if that makes sense? There's two different menus for it. I really don't have the lay out for floor standing rears idk how I would because they would be firing into the back of my couch? I really am aiming towards the rf series I love the twin 10" drivers but if you look at my pictures I only have a 8" mantle for my center to sit on so I will have to get VERY creative to fit the 12" rc-64 ii I think it will look funky

The upgraded subs were just the first part of my HT upgrade do you guys have any suggestions on the rest of my speakers? I was thinking the rp-250s for surrounds and rp-160m for rears and have yet to decided on the fronts and center

Put the movie on pause changed everything to small put the sub trim up to +3 sounds great sub gain at 3/4

Watching T2 right now at -18 everything set to large L sub 180 R sub 180 and gain set 3/4 sounds bitching but before the sub upgrade -28 was really loud why do I need to crank it up + 10 db to get the same results?

Not at all I just set right in the middle of the couch with the mic at ear level

The left sub is set to 180 and the right at 0 no there is no room for the subs elsewhere I just changed all of the speakers to small there is a noticeable loss of loudness Also to note my front speakers are on a 1 ft stand I did this to raise the towers up enough so the woofers weren't being blocked off by the couch

I tried that yesterday and I wasn't impressed with the sound quality of the subs because they were firing right into the side of my couches I honestly think this is a calibration issue not a speaker placement problem there probably is more ideal arrangements but 2 days ago this system was very immersive and real the only difference was the upgraded subs and calibration but now it's just not there anymore very depressing

So would I go in and manually change all of these to small? The receiver converts them durring the testing
