A 20 year olds system

[mnatiq]

Here is my first proper system, saved up alot of mulla for this. Let me know what you guys think, and please comment on the layout, let me know if i can make it better. Its a 7.1 system. just got a 15" velodyne sub from future shop, its a monsta, 1000 watts peak and 600 watts rms. its the best i could do in my budget. I got the TV from the source (the canadian circuit city) which is where i work and the 4 polk monitors 70's i got from usa via ebay. the polk rtis were from futureshop and the onkyo 806 was from 2001 audio video. got a great deal on the onkyo, they had it for 1300 CAD and i got a open box for $700. I have a new polk center on the way, got it from ebay. rite now i have my old hk center.

Welcome! The second young new member posing a system in 24 hours. Great.

My only suggestion is to get your mains a little further apart if you can.

Ok, I am getting worried. We have had an 18y/o, a 19y/o and now a 20y/o posting pictures of set-ups the past couple of days. This "sport" is for us old farts who are tired. You guys should be out chasing girls and booze......

Nice set up!

You guys should be out chasing girls and booze......

i got time for both lol so dont worry. acctually im trying to cut down on the drinkin. we were on a few weekends ago drinkin and tryin to find some girls. i woke up the next morning in a hospital bed with half a dozen tubes stuck in me. the doctor told me im liver is already having problems. he told me to cut down to 10 drinks a night instead of the usual 25+. as for the girls i actually dont have to chase because i already have a gf.

i think its funny how both this guy and the 19 year old both picked up speakers from the polk monitor line, the only reason i find it funny is because those are the speakers i almost bought so we all would have had the same speakers

Crap....you need to slow down a lot. Keep going with this hobby and be safe, life is short.

Nice set up!

should i rename your thread to a "100 year olds system"? jk

 

[mnatiq]

hey thanks alot you guys for the compliments. well as far as how much i spent on the sub. i think it was $900 after taxes dunno for sure. as far as everything else is concerned. i dont drink well i have but not a big fan of it(didnt you see the treadmill), any way chronics better and the girls, that aint no thang. this system is a party magnet well i have to spend less cuz university its killing me(financially)

one more thing. wait till i finish school in four to five years and become a dentist .

 

[croseiv]

Yeah, you youngsters are skewing the age curve to the left too much. Nice set up there!

 

[Midcow2]

Thanks for posting; Nice system!!

I second TLS's comment. It is great system for a young guy and it is great to be young ... as MidCow2 says after he had to go to a Urologist today

Thanks for joining and posting!

@TLS Guy

[mnatiq]

also how are my rear rti4s set up, some1 told me i should space them a bit more and push em back.

 

[tec_41]

Awesome setup! I almost went with the Monitor-70's myself, but had to keep the budget down unfortunately to the 50's

You've got a system that should keep your ears happy for a loooong time

 

[A/VUSMCSGT]

Looks pretty nice!!!

Where in Canada are you from?

Mike,

You should rename Pdawgs thread to "The member with the worst screen name in the history of forums.... system".

It's got a ring to it.

LOL!
Irrelevant to topic at hand... but I'm nearing 22 and all the crap in my signature is stuff I've picked up over some years.
I try not to get too involved; but when the opprotunity exists to get a better piece of equipment, I'll jump right on it!

Congratulations!!!!

I wish I had had a system like yours when I was your age.

Girlfriends come and go but a good audio\video system is a loyal companion for many years to come.

My only suggestion would be to start saving up for a larger center channel. It is the most important speaker when it comes to home theater and will really make a huge difference in performance.

Keep us posted on your progess and I think I can safely say that we all hope you stick around to tell us old folk more war stories of the younger generation.

Living vicarously through younger audioholics.
