I am really eyeing the R-115SW...Yes? No? The 15's are the only way to fly for home theater. Go big or go home. Truth be told, they lose weight REAL quick. Just not that big. JTR, PB-16 Ultra, yeah maybe a little big. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my opinion, not data based. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboKlipsch Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Wow this is a great thread. Kudos to #Youthman who has helped many and really got this member hooked up with a system. Such a good set of recommendations too, do not miss out on a pair of RS52s or RS62s. They are a "miracle" speaker imo. For subs, I'll just give 2 small bits of advice -- 1) The lower a subwoofer can play, the more expensive and/or larger the sub tends to be (you want 35hz...any sub. you want 20hz or lower, much larger and/or more expensive). 2) 2 subs is much, much better than 1 sub, in a serious room. 4 subs imo is another step up. 1 to 2...."C" quality to "B+" quality....2 to 4 or more...."A+" or "theater" quality (really, better) Great to see you happy with your new purchase, keep going and have fun with it. Nothing is really ever a mistake...if you don't like something you sell it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W27 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Go big or go home! For nearly the same money as the Klipsch 15" sub you can get a 24" locally! http://www.avsforum.com/forum/209-audio-gear/2904073-fs-stereo-integrity-hs24-mkii-box.htmlSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is really ever a mistake...if you don't like something you sell it. I cant thank all of you enough for the great support. You know its so funny, before this thread it never even DAWNED on me to have more than one sub. I ordered one of the 15s. Now this being a house in Queens its connected on both sides to other houses. We just moved in 2 years ago and I should at least done SOME soundproofing when we re did the basement, but it was a stressful time to say the very very least. I think the next thread I start, if there isnt one already, should be about soundproofing....well its probably more like sound dampening, because as loud as the neighbors can be, this monster theater is going to put them all to shame. shaaaame. Its frustrating because I have done a ton of work to get it looking pretty....only now to probably have to tear it all out to soundproof it....or at least really really deaden the sound. http://www.soundproofing.org/infopages/basement.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboKlipsch Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Now THAT'S a big project Soundproofing is awesome but a big job with questionable results when it comes to what your 15 can do. At 20hz the wavelength is 40feet long, yes...it is going to go into that neighbors house no matter what. But not to worry, you will find a volume level suitable that it doesn't bother them during quiet times, and can hopefully work out what is "acceptable" during regular day hours. Adding subs is sometimes but usually not about getting louder. ANY sub can get loud enough, believe it or not. But any sub cannot play low enough and with low enough distortion to sound good throughout the entire range a subwoofer could play. That is where the extra money, and extra big size boxes come into play. When you put two subs into that room, you will find that a much larger seating area can sound consistent and good, versus a smaller area with one sub. How to integrate different subs is an art and fun challenge, as the benefits are that each time you find a "better" placement, it sounds better. Don't sweat the soundproofing too hard at this point. Figure out what you're going to have in your place and make sure before jumping into construction you know that you can achieve what you want. Soundproofing IS possible but much of the attempt to soundproof a low end is almost impossible....concrete and other very heavy materials are needed to stop or reduce the flow of very low frequencies. If you like your neighbors, you want to tell them about it, and actually ask if you can come over to their side and hear it so you know what it sounds like and if it is acceptable to them. If you don't like your neighbors (or they are jerks) then it becomes a much harder issue..... Great thread keep going and keep making sure it's fun. If it becomes a lot of work and not fun, stop and enjoy what you have until the bug pushes you to change it up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I am definitely up for at least reading through a thread here or something, I can be pretty handy with lots of stuff but this is something I want to do correctly. I really think to be considerate instead of thinking "soundproof" I am thinking "as much sound dampening as I can possibly do without losing my darn mind".

supercooldude Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 Okay successful purchase of RC-64!! Now I actually have to wait to get the sub and the center. Like actually WAIT guys...like several days!! It was a super super nice guy on the camero forum, spoke with him on the phone and everything. Im actually all of a sudden getting nervous about how loud this is all going to be..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtr20 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Yes, it can get very loud fairly effortlessly, but it doesn't have to be. A good surround sound setup puts the sounds where they are supposed to be with great detail. With that being said, turn it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercooldude Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 Looky looky here boys!! Now Im embarrassed how to deal with the crossover. What do I set the actual sub at? Theres a crossover on my receiver as well. I never ever know where to set it at. I need an education on that boys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
