R33k Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) Hey all, I am in the process of building a 7.1 system in my basement. I've been doing some research online and I made a list of what I want. Was just wondering if any speaker gurus would give me some advise to see if this combo is good or not. If I should go a different route with the receiver or speakers. It's mainly for movies, xbox one and ps4 and FOOTBALL!!! Denon x2000 (4)Klipsch RS-62 II Surround (1) Klipsch RC-62 II center (2) Klipsch RF-62 II front floor (1) Klipsch SW-112 sub ($500 off if I get 5 selected klipsch speakers) I also added to my cart, monster XP speaker wire and monster 400sw sub wire. Not sure what you guys use! Edited December 28, 2013 by R33k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) Welcome to the Klipsch Forum! Buy the best you can possibly afford. Check local Craig's List for Used deals. Most of us use speaker wire purchased from Monoprice, Blue Jeans Cable, or the like. Monster Cable is good, but, way overpriced & unnecessary.

R33k Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Which speaker wire do you guys recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 In wall, or not? What distance for your runs? Will check back at Halftime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R33k Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 It'll be in wall wiring, 15-20 ft max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Monoprice. 12 guage. In wall. Done. Next make sure you give mike at acoustic sound design a call. He will smoke any deal you have found and get you the rf-62ii theater for super cheap. And if steer away from that sub unless they practically give it to you. Get something from Svs or hsu or another ID company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) Also i would save some money unless your space is huge and just go with the rs-52ii. Should Be able to get the rf-62ii, rc-62ii and rs-52ii shipped to you for around 1850$ ish. Spend the extra money on that really good sub. That's the Second speaker you should spend the most on.

Sancho Panza Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 http://www.monoprice.com/ I don't know if they sell thicker than 12 Gauge, but, iIrc, it needs to be Class 2 rated for in-wall...if you call them, they will make sure you get the right wire... or, get them to sell you the SW-115 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Unless I missed it, tell us what size room you have, dose it open into other rooms, have you consider larger towers or two subwoofers? You room size is a key factor in how well the system will perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzydog Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 If it were my $$, I'd invest more on the fronts and less on the surrounds, especially if you think you might use the system to listen to music in 2-channel. Were you just trying to match woofer sizes with everything at 6"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMiRA Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I don't know how in depth you are going with the build but if you have to finish walls then don't forget to run some extra wiring to future proof your build if you do ever plan to venture into 9.1,11.1,projectors, networking, or lighting. Even if you don't run your wire you can still drop in some pathways( conduit, PVC, smurfpipe) and string to pull them through later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Klipsch SW-115 is a worthy sub close to that price range if you buy from a dealer and negotiate the price down. The RS-52 is fine for surrounds as Scrappy said. Oh, and the RS are fine for rears to save a few bucks. Edited December 28, 2013 by mustang guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R33k Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Thanks guys for you help. Would the rf-82ii be good? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 It would be a nice upgrade for you over the 62's, IMLimitedO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which will demand upgrading the Front... so, go ahead & buy the RF-7II, LoL! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapsnb01 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) All good advice so far. I've had the RF62 system and heard the RF82s. Good speakers but like Derrick, I'm curious as to the room size and layout...that's going to play a huge role in how the system performs. I assume that since you want to hang surrounds that it isn't open to the sides or back. What are the dimensions though? Truth be told, the step up from the RF52 to the RF62 is much larger than the step from the RF62 to RF82. With the right sub, I doubt you'd hear a huge difference. Scrappy has owned them all and has posted pictures detailing the size difference. For my money (depending on room size and shape), I'd probably save the extra cash and get the RF62s/RC62 a pair of RS52 and a pair of RB61s. But...it all depends on the room... Best wishes on putting the system together. Edited December 28, 2013 by kapsnb01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
