Well It should be here tomorow,

I can't wait. I have a few 12 foot RCA cords and some female to female adapters I will use for starters. What do you guy's think, will I be able to test accuratley enough? A really good cord could be as much as $75 or $100 and the sub could be anywhere from 6 feet to 40 feet ( 10ft front 15ft side 17ft rear). I want to buy the right length the first time. I have never had a home theater sub so i dont really where it will sound best.

tomorrow cant get here quick enough,

Alain

The sub cords aren't going to make an appreciable difference one way or the other. Figure out what length you need and order one from monoprice.com.

Hi,

How do I post a picture? I see the icon with the tree on it, I click on it up comes a box with options and it will not let me cut and paste a picture. I go to help up at the top where you sign in and it sends me to this page that has nothing to do with klipsch. I don't understand. do i need to compose all of this in notepad or word and cut and paste the whole thing?

Very confused,

Alain

Unfortunately, that's the worst issue with this forum....it's kinda hidden. You figured out how to "attach" a photo to your post. The Insert/Edit Image is used when you have your images hosted somewhere on a server (ImageShack, Flickr, Photobucket). With that method, you just have to resize the images to around 700 pixels wide or less or the image will get cropped off.

Congrats on the new SVS purchase. Let us know what you think after you get it setup.

I did it.

As you can see I sent the sub to my work.
Everybody at work including me said "Its so big" so when I took the
picture I wanted to give it some scale so I left the the pallete jack
under the skid. Yes it came on a skid. I got it home, hooked it up ran
audissey then called Ed at SVS and he went through the set-up with me.
I'm glad he was there to help. Having never set one of these up, there
were lots of presets in the marantz I never touched before. It sounded
very good.not quite as "in your face" as i was hopeing for, but I think
thats why most of you guy's have 2 subs. But what it did was make the
klf 20 sound so clean. we set the crossover at 40 and then the sub takes
over. It goes a lot lower than the klf20's. Im very happy. I played the
end of the bluray Skyfall at 0db. The sceen where the old orphange
blows up and wow, It sounded like the theater. it was so dynamic, my
nieghbor came over to see if something had happend. so I replayed for
him.He was blown away. I could not be any happer. Now i need to replay
everything so I can rediscover all the cool low stuff that i have been
missing. Thanx for monoprice I will get my cables from them. I will
also get cables for my DVD audio player. Ill bet some of those discs
sound real good too "so much to listen to, and so little time". I think
this is where i will keep sub. in time i will move it around to see if
it sounds better or different in other places, but I think this is the
spot. here is the Pic

Congrats on the sub, if i were you, i would do the SUB CRAWL, meaning that you put the sub were you normally sit, play a song with i nice bass note, and crawl around the room, until you find a nice spot, witch, sounds bold, but not boomy, hope this helps.
