this one caused me some problems....it wasn't as loud as the other 3 when i was testing them through the recv'r.

had to take the wall plate off from above the speaker and then the plate behind the recv'r and tighten everything down before i could get it to work right.

up next i have to order 2 more banana plugs for the mids.....i forgot i needed 4 for the cable from the recv'r to the wall plate.

then i'll be adding some carpets/rugs to the listening area.

all while saving money for new fronts and a 2nd sub. :banana:

Things are looking good Benny. I haven't been around much lately, so it's cool to catch up. Kinda looks different without that checkered flooring :thumbsup:

It's tough to go speaker by speaker....we always wish we could just get them all. Congrats on your side & rear surrounds, they look great and it's nice they're not very deep ( don't stand off the wall too far).

Yeah, just a little different w/that nasty floor!!! :cringe: :D

It’s tuff, but it’s the only way I can do it…..can’t justify dropping $2000+ on speakers w/the little ones @ home. :shrug2:

So I just went through, found some star wars legos I thought I could get some $$$ for and sold them on ebay. 4 auctions and I had enough to buy these 2 sets!! :jawdrop: :rock:

I’m hoping to get a descent amount of business in this upcoming hunting season, if I do, I’m hoping to pull about $250 out for the center I want. :bitenails:

That's a good haul for legos on eBay. All you gotta do is look at my gallery to know I've got star wars legos I could sell.

They're cool to buy, to build....but once they're on the shelf for a while kinda unnecessary.

Maybe I could grab that Jurassic Park set after a sale of my own ;)

those were my thoughts exactly....i grew up w/legos and then stopped the closer i got to high school.

once i was done being "too cool" for them.....after high school....i discovered the awesome star wars sets that were released.

i went on a craze for like 2 years.

now they are just sitting on the counter in our upstairs collecting dust. :shrug2:

and i'm to anal....i can't give these to my kids and knowingly let them destroy them. :o
