MikeDaWiz's HT setup

[MikeDaWiz]

Thanks tbizzle. I am still trying to figure out what im gonna do. If i want to place the sub in the back corner of the room, ill have to buy a longer cable. For right now, it is to the side of the shelf all the equipment is on. Havent had time today to get things cleaned up for pictures. maybe tomarrow, but i am leaning towards monday. Ill be off of work then.

That's the funny thing about having a sub, sometimes you can't place it where it looks good sitting. Sometimes you have to put where it sounds best in the sweet spot on your room.

You can do the 'sub woofer crawl'(whatever it's called). How it works is, you place the subwoofer where you will be mostly sitting and then you kinda crawl around on the floor untill you hear the subwoofer sounding the best. When you find the best sounding spot, that's where you place the subwoofer.

Yeah I hear ya. I will need to buy a much longer cord then what was provided. It can just reach the receiver where it is.

Today is the day i will post pictures. Hopefully before night time.

Looking forward to the pics updated. You looked at my bedroom setup? Might give you some ideas.

[MikeDaWiz]

Ok Ive Updated The Gallery. Sorry it took me so long. I know its not a big improvement, but for what ive got, its looks alot cleaner. Its in the Updated Bedroom HT folder

[MikeDaWiz]

If you notice Sean, I took your advise and place the tv on two pieces of wood that was from a dvd shelf i had it gave the tv clearance from the center speaker.

[MikeDaWiz]

It sucks when you have no new updates to your HT. Im hoping to get the wires leading to the rear speakers run along the floor using a runway. Kinda low on funds right now for anything so that will happen when it happens.

Ok Ok. I have recently acquired a new addition to my HT/Bedroom setup. A very nice and comfy Catnapper recliner. I am at work right now, but i plan to have a pic of it up soon. I had to rearrange the room more to fit it in. I was tired of laying down on my bed all the time to watch movies, play games, and to sleep. My back was always killing me. Now i sit on the recliner when i watch movies and play games. It is so comfy. And it has cupholders on both arms! (Sorry Sean Lol)

Ooo, that looks hella comfortable, badass price too! Just in time to start off winter with a cozy chair to watch blu's in. Oh wait, you live in Texas, how's the weather in the winter there?

What winter? LOL. We only get like two months of cold weather. we have only had snow once in my life time in 2004. i believe before that it was in the 60s. What's even cooler is that the snow in 2004 came down on Christmas Eve! That was an awesome night. How about Cali? How cold is your winter on the west coast?

Wow that's an awesome Christmas Eve! As for out here, I'm right by Sacramento, so I'm in the valley below the foothills. During the summer it's always around 100, sometimes even up to 110+ (we hit 115 a few years ago). It gets pretty cold here during the Winters, down in the high 20's some nights, but usually in the high 30's and low 40's. We're not at the right altitude for snow, although we've had snow here once or twice. But if you drive 15 minutes up the freeway towards the mountains, they get snow sometimes. I'm used to the snow because my Dad lived up in the mountains near us, so I always loved being there during the Winter and getting snow like everyday

We're only 2 hours away from Reno and Tahoe, so it's pretty nice to take a trip up there during the Winters. It's always snowing up there.

Lol, during the winter here, 50's is like a "nice day" haha. No but really, I love the Winter and all, but a warmer climate like Texas must be awesome. Sometimes I hate the cold, and just miss the hell out of flip flops and shorts! And then the summer comes, and I take a trip to San Fransisco to get out of the valley heat lol.

We've got about 5 months of really cold weather and snow ahead of us here in Southern Ontario, so I'll be more than happy to send you some of it!

Haha, I'll take some, I haven't seen snow in a year! Today was a nice mid 80's day, so it hasn't started cooling down too much yet. Before you know it, my car will be all iced over in the morning before work.

Oh wow, I didn't know it was humid there. Yeah that's no fun, I've been back East several times and I decided that I wasn't a big fan of humidity. I remember takin a nice shower, walking outside, and feeling like I needed to get back in the shower lol. I did a lot some backpacking there too, Gold Bond was my friend!

BTW, thanks for the comment! I'll try to get some better pics up soon

[Johnny Vinyl]

If I could send some I surely would! To be honest I don't mind it too much. It's only towards the end of March that one starts to say "enough already", and we look forward to Spring.

It is nice to have 4 seasons though!

You know what John, Someone from my hometown actually sold the snow from Christmas Eve 04 on ebay. Dont remember how much it went for though.
