Thors1982 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I am getting my RSW-15 tomorrow, I know i have mentioned it a few times. This is the last time i promise(don't hurt me) Every one needs to congradulate me :-) afterall Reference 7 + RSW-15 in college... and I have 0 debt. Granted parents are helping for college :-) I am lucky indeed. Any suggestions on how to set it up, I am going to try to use a DVD calibration disk but I still don't have the SPL meter. :-( So, fight club is going to be the first movie played. What should I play after that???? Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bchild311 Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Congrats on the RSW-15, you'll absolutely love this sub. I've never heard a sub hit frequencies so low with such force. Definitely a fine finish to your reference series HT. SWEET! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelman Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 You are very lucky and CONGRATS YOU SON OF A SUB! Let us know how it sounds. Check out the new trailor to Hellboy on the dvd Missing with Tommy lee Jones. Their is a trailor to spider man 2 also and they rock for bass. By the way Missing is a good movie worth renting anyways. Their is a mudslide that has awesome bass in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleve Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Hey, if you think you're lucky, just remember there's always somebody better off than you! lol - I heard a story from a customer last week at Audio Classics in Binghamton about his long-ago college room-mate. Apparently, this fellow custom ordered new Klipschorns from Hope made from clear plexiglass and installed them in his college residence! Anyways, sounds like a terrific system. Hope its in a house, not an apartment. No way in an apartment will you be able to use even a tenth of the bass potential of that RSW-15. Good luck, and enjoy!!!!

IndyKlipschFan Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Yes.. Set the sub about 1/2 to 3/4 volume wise... also set the lower x overs too in the rear. Get good interconnects from your pre amp to this unit, and experiment in front, in the corner, in phase, out of phase.......etc where you like it. Actually, the manual is pretty detailed. And, always turn on the power AFTER the volume is down...turn the volume down BEFORE turning the sub power off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thors1982 Posted March 8, 2004 Author Share Posted March 8, 2004 Thanks again everyone and.... Just finished watching U-571 and Fight Club. OMG, I know many people say the SVS have more impact than the RSW-15... but dear god almight how much do you need. I think this sub is going to be the end of my house :-) I don't even have it up all the way.... I am scared :-) Anyways, the sub was well worth the wait, I enjoyed my system for many many many months without a sub, I watched so many movies in amazment at what I missed the first time I saw them. Now I get to do it all over again, with the subwoofer. BTW, I am on spring break.... muwahahahahaha, 7 more days of subwoofer action here I come!!!!

I am scared :-) ---------------- my point exactly- i have the volume on my RSW-15 set at about 12 o'clock, and the sub out level at about +4dB (to provide a sub signal that is strong enough to activate the auto on at low volume,and it reduces 'noise') i don't need any more bass! now-my room/other speakers/and receiver's bass management account for excellent bass response, so that has something to do with it, but the RSW-15 is an AWESOME sub! congratulations! avman.

Thors1982 Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 I am going to have to turn mine up. I was just about to post a question about the auto turn on. That is a good idea I will have to try it. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Shmoe Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 little OT but someone mentioned "Hellboy" I grabbed a free DVD today at BB that was the trailer for Hellboy. Looks like a cool movie along the lines of X-men Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
