I have little more than a passing interest in the science and technology of sound reproduction, I look more for acceptable end results. I prefer to go turnkey and cobble together a best-fit system. I can see me trying DIY after I...

Can anyone say "AV123"?

Being able to produce the last 2 or 3 octaves with authority is why the good HT subs cost so much more. Much of the cost is in the driver. It doesn't cost much more to make an 18" driver versus a 12". The higher cost is in the...

The mic that came with the receiver is used for the auto speaker set up. Being more old school (meaning too cheap to buy newer hardware), I have never had Audyessey. I'm not sure if it sets channel levels or, if it does, it sets them...

You won't use the high level ins and outs. Use the LFE input. This will defeat/bypass most settings on the sub, except gain and phase. Set the gain to about the 10:00 position and the pase to 0 (zero). On the receiver, go to the...

With both being powered subs, the Onkyo is not going to see the impedance of the different drivers. Each of the subs amps are matched to the driver it powers. The Onkyo will see a high impedance load from the input stage of the amps. ...

I would have done just the opposite of what you did. I would have raised the gain on the sub amp and lowered the AVR output. It is possible you are overdriving the output stage on the Onkyo or the input stage on the sub. Then, as Nash...

Make sure the speakers are set to small in the AVR.
