Suggestions and Comments on Future Setup
|
New member Username: Pokeme5xPost Number: 1 Registered: May-05 | Well I am creating myself a budget system of around $700 dollars for Sub, Recevier, and Speakers. This is a 5.1 Setup Used in a 17 ft. Lenght x 10 ft. Width Room. Primary Use is Movies and Normal TV Programming with a hint of music. Reciever: Yamaha HTR5740 $209 Center: BIC America DV-62CLRS Center Speaker $111 4 Speakers (2x Front 2x: BIC America DV62si-B Tower Speaker $226 Subwoofer: Velodyne VX10 $146.99 Total: $693 including Shipping + Tax What I sort of don't like is that the subwoofer isn't powered... can anyone provide info if that will be a performance issue and if so recommend another sub up to $200 including shipping. Otherwise any other comments and suggestions in the price range? |

Silver Member Username: Joe_cOakwood, Ga Post Number: 310 Registered: Mar-05 | armin go for the bic and when you get it put a mdf board under it. cut it the same size as the sub and either install it with 2" of brace between the bottom of the sub or just rest the sub on top of it with something to cushion the plastic feet on the board, you will notice a dramatic improvement on lower end extension. I have that same sub and love it for the price. |
