Thanks for your reply but I don't need it anymore. I already upgraded my receiver. I have move optical inputs than I need.

PhilH, you're absolutely right. My receiver actually has 1 optical digital and 2 coaxial digital inputs. But the only optical input has been used already by my DVD player (it doesn't have coaxial). My receiver is an old Kenwood, bought from a garage sale. Maybe it's time to change receiver $$$. This message has been edited by leslie on 03-20-2002 at 11:37 AM

First of all, I thanked everybody for the replies. Ok, now we know that I can buy a converter, but do you think it will have an adverse effect on the sound signal? However, no matter what everybody says, for $13.00, I'll give it a try (by the way, the Parts Express site says, it's not in stock). Again, thanks.

Can I convert an optical digital connection to coaxial? How? My HDTV uses optical but my receiver uses coaxial.

Hey Avman, etc., I haven't really seen what that SPL meter looks like (I'll stop by at Radio Shock on my way home). How do you use it? Do I have to play some music then measure the sound level on each speaker using the SPL meter? What do you mean by unbalanced speakers? Does it have to be always balanced? I would really appreciate if you can explain to me (in idiot-proof manner) how the process is done before I'll stop by at Radio Shock. Thanks.

In my Kenwood receiver you set the sound of the main speakers to a certain dB level (-10dB to +10dB), same with the Subwoofer and the rest of the speakers. For example, if the L and R speakers are set to +2dB and the subwoofer to +10, does it mean that the receiver always output 400 percent more signal to the subwoofer (as compared to the L/R speakers in this example) everytime the volume is changed? I'm just curious (and ignorant). This message has been edited by leslie on 02-20-2002 at 12:50 PM

Thanks for eveybody's help. I spent half a day figuring out the best location for my dual KSW-12. Right now I put them on both ends of my sofa. They sounded great. Again, thanks.

I got a really good deal with a KSW-12 from a neighbor who is moving out of state. Currently, I already have a KSW-12 connected to a Kenwood VR-4080 receiver. So how can I connect a second KSW-12 sub to my receiver? What cables,etc. I need to buy? I have a fairly big room. Where could I effectively put the second sub?
