[Frankenstien]

First off ...Thanks to the folks who put this site together, tho I have not posted as often as I should have, you folks have provided me with a wealth of information...

So here is what my teachings have gotten me:

WD-73734 (73" Mitsubishi DLP)

Sony dg800

LG Blue ray HD DVD player

16 Bose cubes mounted around the ceiling edges

4 Subs.... yes 4
1 Bose Passive
1 Bose powered
1 Klipshe 10"
1 Klipsh 12"

1 2.5kw UPS Power suplly to keep the juice clean
All enclosed in to a 14X24 Room

One word.........Awsome... I'll have some pix soon as I still have to finish closing in the ceiling, and Tighten up the walls.... more on that later...

Looks like we found the new Dolby/Ashley here...you don't have enough cubes...go get more, put some height surrounds up .

Hello Frankenstiens

I'm trying to have a 7.1 setup but my bose system only has 6.1 output from the subwoffer. How did you add more cubes to your setup. My reciever does have a 7.1 output.


Thanks

More cubes...

The set up on the back is a bit like my on line name...

The passive sub from Bose uses the "Bose proprietary" RCA jack and cable, this was for the usual 5.1 system, I used these jacks for the sourround , and rear. The forward Speakers are plugged directly to the corresponding jacks on the receiver. the trick to this was to get the powered Bose sub to recieve an input signal, on the back of the Sony there is a "Zone 2 RCA out put, This plugged into the back of the Sub, while having the power interface from the original Bose deck plugged in. I set the Bose Deck to AUX, and this provides the audio signal.

To connect the other 2 Klipsh Subs, I used an RCA Splitter at the first Sub, Once all was set up I adjusted the Gain and Freq Dials on the rear... to Balance out the system........

One spot in a movie that really got my attention... Star Wars Episode II, There is s scene where Boboo Fet assassinates his hired assassin, he fires a shot that comes from across the Right shoulder and down center... I had forgotten about that scene... Made me jump.

To Close the Ceiling in as to hide the speakers we purchased about 60yds of a dark brown, blackish colored mesh fabric. When the room is complete this will give the impression of a cave, or Mine shaft...

People will pile on to criticisize Bose systems and usually with good reason because you can do far better for less money. But, if it meets your needs and sounds good to you, that is all that matters.

Hey there, Frankenstien. Glad to see that you're enjoying the hobby and willing to share your system with us. I'm looking forward to the pics!

Aren't you a kind person.

You're just saying that because I beat you to it.

You really should have lurked before posting a system like that...

He says he did...

you folks have provided me with a wealth of information...

So here is what my teachings have gotten me:

Which, I admit, seems like an odd thing to say; I'm not exactly sure what teachings he'd be referring to...

Beating me to it? Sure, if I had any intention of saying that, which I didn't.

I would advise you against doing that. Not only the fabric in front of speaker alters the sound, when spread out that much in the room, it will absorb high frequency and make the whole system sound dull.

By the way, Jango Fett is the bounty hunter who fired the dart. Boba Fett is his son who takes over the role when he grows up. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0607325/
