derrickdj1 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I like the surrurond speakers for a 5.1setup. I had an Icon V setup and it was great. Setup the sub and see how you like everything. Welcome to the forum and stick around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob2112 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 thanks for the advice....these surrounds are good for music? what about the receiver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleman Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 The 2312 has 105 watts per channel and has preouts for dual subwoofers. The 1912 has 90 watts and single out for subwoofer. IMHO I would go for the 1912 because refurbished scares me for some reason but the choice is whether your gonna use 2 subs. 15 watts isnt much difference IMO.

Scrappydue Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I would take that sub right back and go with an rw-12d from newegg for 299.00. Same price range and MUCH more bang for your buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleman Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I agree with Scrappy on the sub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob2112 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 thanks for the help guys...i looked up the sub you guys are talking about its 499 i got the sw308 for 300. i also bought it from vanns, not sure about the return policy. is this sub not as good as reviews ive read? i know its rather small but it has three 8in speakers instead of just one 10 or 12in. i a newbie so im just guessing here.

Coleman Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Newegg runs sales on the RW12D at least once a month for 299 just check it daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
