My HT is located in my multi-purpose basement (HT, weight room, kid play area, office, etc.) by design. The open portion of the basement where my HT resides is a bit oddly shaped (far from rectangular or square), and is ~800 sq ft (with 7/8' ceilings or ~6000 cu ft). Later on I will move my HT into the spare bedroom down in the basement, but not for quite some time. We very much enjoy the HT where it is right now.

Power Circuits

My HT is driven by four 20-amp circuits.


The first circuit powers my quad Epik Empires. I use the RGPC 400 Pro on this circuit.


The second circuit powers dual Seaton SubMersive HPs, an Emotiva XPA-5, the Def Tech BP7000SCs, and the Def Tech CLR3000. I use the RGPC 600 S on this circuit.


The third circuit powers a single Seaton SubMersive HP (using a 50 ft 12-gauge extension cord run along the wall

).


The fourth circuit powers the rest of my system (e.g. dual Seaton SubMersive HPs, the Samsung UN55C8000, an Emotiva XPA-2, an Emotive XPA-5, the Def Tech BP2000s, the Def Tech BP7002s, Buttkicker LFE Kit, etc). I use the RGPC 1200 Custom on this circuit.


Although the RGPCs are not current limiting, I prefer to plug my amplifiers (Emotivas and Buttkicker) directly into the wall. For now I have my subwoofers plugged into the RGPCs (except for one Seaton SubMersive HP).

Looking Good.

 

[Lancito]

Wickedly nasty!

 

[roodkopje]

Man... are you trying to make your sound blasts rip the clothes of women in there ?

 

[g_bartman]

Wow, have you ever measured the spl output in that room? It has to be off the chart. Nicely done my man.

 

[Zeiri]

I just have to love you man. Insane equipments

 

[d_m1010]

Very nice sir. Fantastic setup.


I see we have similar taste in gear. I also have 5 Richard Gray PCs, 6 SVS subs, and all Emotiva amplification.

 

[Eldiablos]

You sick puppy! You must be deaf and your teeth have rattled out by now! Congrads and nice setup.

 

[cavchameleon]

Wow, that's a LOT of equipment and a LOT of drivers for that room!!!! Awesome, thanks for sharing!!!

I have to ask...why eight subwoofers?! I can understand doing two...but eight? No disrespect intended, honest, but isn't that overkill?


I liken it to seeing cars with three 15" subs in the back, or those cars at SEMA with 50 subs. At what point is the base "good enough?"


I know you're running quality gear, but I just had to ask.


As long as you enjoy it, then more power to you.

 

[tallnick]

I'm gonna cry. It's so beautiful. 8 subs. I can't imagine the awesomeness.

Everything about my HT setup is overkill. I realize I have an A/V addiction.

 

[Frohlich]

So are you using the speakers built into the TV...just so you can have two more

BTW, nice set-up.

 

[dla26]

Curious why you have a Buttkicker LFE kit. With 4 PB13 Ultras and 4 Epik Empires, I would think your seat would kick your butt just fine by itself!

Not to nit pick John but 9 of his 11 speakers have amplified lf drivers in them. In essence, he has 17 subwoofers. And somehow, still has a wife.

 

[Frohlich]

Not to nitpick an awesome set-up but your volume of speakers to TV are not what I was expecting. I was expecting a 65+ inch display.

U should buy an acoustically transparent screen and make that whole wall your screen...only that will match the power of the sound you have.
