Hi all. New to the forum. Been reading a lot lately on HT. I used to be into car audio but got out of it and have been wanting a home theatre of my own for a while. I'm finally in a house rather than apartment and now is the time. I recently purchased an Onkyo TX-NR636 receiver plus BIC America DV84 towers for the front, BIC America DV-62CLRS center and Polk TSi-100 surrounds.
For now that's my setup but it's in my room until my roommate moves out and my fianc? moves in, in June. Can't really use it much until he moves out unless he's not home since adjoining walls on the bedrooms.
Anyway it will soon be in the living room with a Sony 47" flat screen and I need to know what to do with my subs. I have had two 15" Ascendant Audio Arsenal subs that used to be in my car and I really want to utilize them in the ht setup so they don't go to waste. I built a box probably 6 years ago and I don't remember the specs for sure. I understand HT has different requirements such as tuning frequency so I'm open to changing that up if needed. I believe I built it to 6cf net tuned to 34hz. Dual ports on the ends and double baffled (my first attempt at building an enclosure). If I can give exact dimensions can someone give me an answer as to what I have since i don't rememeber for sure? Also, will this be an ok setup for movies? I'm open to building a new box but would prefer not to and if I can modify the existing ports to lower tuning that would be ideal.
My plans for amp are probably going to be a Behringer Europower or iNuke in the 3k watt range just for headroom. My neighbors probably won't appreciate me
