Woot woot!! Loved it! I can't wait to do another one of these!!
you guys are hilarious together. def cant wait for the next three amigos vid!
It was certainly a blast Channa
I would have given my left nut to be there that had to have been fun.
@@Youthman I have my hometheater calibrated auddesey my two sets of height speakers cant hear how many dbs should I have it
Arm wrestle would be hilarious!!!
Looked like you guys had a blast down there... Maybe next year I'll be able to make it out!
Yeeaaahh!!!
Yes! You would really enjoy VidSummit. I’ll be there
This was sik just need spare change, chris from That home theater dude and villa man to jump in. Will be a box office hit. Oh and can't forget Gene from Audioholics too.
Oh yeah!!
A good starting point for crossovers is 1.5 times the speaker's lower - 3dB point. This gives you a half octave smooth transition and still let's you take advantage of larger speakers. You may have to tweak it beyond that if you have any frequency/phase issues, but this is a solid guideline in my experience.
I have my center channel on the floor under my projector screen. Got tired of seeing a stack of Blu-ray cases proping up the front.
Went to Home Depot, bought a 18" bath towel bar (brushed nickel) and mounted it to the bottom of my center. Got the angle just right. Looks great and it looks like it came from the factory like that.
Boom! Nice
the $199.99 Dayton SUB1500 goes down to 23Hz the $119.00 SUB1000 goes fdown to 30Hz pretty well which is respectable for inexpensive subs. the 12 inch monoprice also does pretty well going down to 25 or so pretty well too, its a bit "boomy" but I like a tiny bit of a "hump" in my music.
I’m with Joe. Invested in a good sub back in the day and I’m still enjoying it!
This is a Yamaha YST-SW800.
10” driver with lows down to 18hz.
Yes!
Awesome , my center channel setup right exactly the way you guys have explained. It's sits below my TV n angled upwards ...👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
Also nice to see you all advisors at same place....keep up the good work.
Thank you
Youthman very exciting idea about make a video with people like you and could explain their knows!!! Thank you very much guys.
Cool stuff, bring on the arm wrestle.
Good to see you mixing it up with other guys again and really enjoyed when you hooked up with Gene earlier.
Thanks Bryce
Some good tips. I too made the mistake of having my center way over my head. Just moving it lower . Made a big difference.
audyssey got all my levels and distances perfect, I confirmed it with an spl meter laser tape measure. It did however set the front mains which are lsim bookshelves to large and the center at small crossed over at 40hz. the rear surrounds it set at 80hz, the rear backs at 110hz and the 4 in ceiling mounted speakers at 150hz
My #1 tip would be to get a receiver that is capable of doing eq. I find that a lot of really great tower speakers really need eq to give a flat frequency response. My parents have some really nice infinity c336 towers mated with an entry level receiver and you can only hear the high frequencies from them that are bouncing around the untreated room. On the flip side, I have some compact tower speakers in my room paired up with a high end receiver that does eq so I am all good, but they are not unless they spend the big money for a new receiver.
I hadn’t watched your video yet so I don’t even know if that was your #1 too.
Edit after watching the video: I think Youthman is going to win the arm wrestle; he moves so many big subs, Youthman is definitely the winner. Besides, he showed his guns in a previous video.
here's a tip regarding speaker angle.. Grab a torch (flashlight) hold the side of it against your ear.. Where the light shines, is the correct position for the speaker.
Youth man and Techno Dad have always been my audioholic favorites not to forget Gene from Audioholics! Great to see you all get together and get "sober" lol...
So I tried to angle up the center channel a bit (after watching this video ) with some white foam covered with black tape my set up sounds just a bit better..
I also played a bit with crossovers..but I have to tell you if you have a Denon AVR (X1100w to X6500w,) once audyssey set up is complete all you have to do is just leave all the crossovers to 80hz and speaker config to "small" ..restorer to low setting..dynamic EQ to "on" and Dynamic Vol at "light" setting.This has been my best Denon/Polk friendly set up so far..
The following Is my HT set up
Denon AVR x2300w
Polk Tsx 550T Towers
Polk CsiA6 Center
Polk Monitor 70's as surround A
Polk Monitor 40's as surround backs
Next time when you guys get sober...be prepared to deliver the video with some bullet points at the end of the video.
Thanks for making this video for us!
Please recommend some good music videos to test HT set up in your next video including Dolby surround test videos etc.
Thanks. Be sure to enter my tshirt desifn contest for a chance to win an AURO-3D Demo Disk
Technodad:still cannot have a center channel behind, or at the center of tv
A9F:hold my beer
LOl
Dumb question but does it make the sub better if its on the floor with a thin type of foam under the sub ? The floor boards are wooden and has carpet. I have a little concern that there isn't quite enough rumble from my sub. I cheaped out a bit due to the smaller type of living room and purchased the newer Samsung q990c sound bar with rears and of course the sub. Thanks for the video guys , I love your work 👍
Epic Collab! History in the making! Nice vid guys!
Glad you enjoyed it Nick
Thanks Nick!
That remote angle thing is exactly what I have to do with my air conditioning remote, but up high and to the left as I have a huge shelf unit in the way coupled with really pushing the IR receiving distance from the aircon.
Is there a center channel speaker with multi-directional tweeters? Like 3 tweeters; one center pointed, one left, one right... cause I have a couch in the middle and two chairs on the sides in my living room, but you def notice the direction of people talking, when you’re in the chair!
Hey Youthman,
I have an extra pair of speakers wired in parallel to both my rear and front speakers, they are all 6 ohm speakers, what impedance should my receiver be set at or will it automatically set itself to the correct level? I have a Yamaha RX A1070
I would really appreciate your advice.
2 sets of 6ohm speakers in parallel on the same channel will be a 3ohm load
Thanks for telling me to angle my center channel.. Not sure why I didn't think of it. Re-watched Endgame, and WOW. All I did was angle it down by a few degrees and the change was amazing. Maybe to the typical movie watcher wouldn't notice the difference, however it definitely sounds like people are talking directly in front of me now. It is screwed to the wall so all I did was unscrew the top screws a tiny bit and it angled the whole center channel.
That’s awesome! Glad to be providing value on the channel.
Awesome video guys..technodad and Youthman been following u guys and I learned a lot
Thanks Jose
Were you guys doing shots between takes?
None of us were drinking.
This is super solid advice and the three of you are spot on! Best to the three of you!
Thank you Josh
Thanks Josh!!
Awesome video guys can't wait for the next one.
Thanks!
Move sub around as it can cause phase cancellations of higher frequencies in certain positions and ruin the clarity and localisation of sound sources
God job, Great info you guys, Thanks
Great video lots of fun. Can you use Dirac to calibrate a Marantz SR 8012 and if so how
Whoa. Look at those two scruffy looking guys!! Love all three of your channels!
love the format
Thanks!
I got the JL D110 and this sub doesn't disappoint for its size. It hits low and has a butt load of throw. I think you reviewers need to get ahold of this sub because it's not outrageously priced compared to other JL subs. Sure SVS will out perform it for movies but for music it's a whole different ballgame.
Hi.. super bro .... want to know how to find perfect a.v. receivers n speakers for a particular room.. for e.g 20x20x10 room wat a.v. receiver n speakers v use it to enable gud effect.. is there any calculations to find out. Or .. u listed all the a.v. receivers n speakers ... can u list 12x20x10 a.v.receicer n speakers r.. 15x20x10 a.v. a.v.receicer n speakers r..
20x20x10 a.v.receicer n speakers r... like this ... to get the gud effect... tq bro
Replied in another thread.
'Go on channa' loving the vibe brother, excellent tips by the way, which I'm going to take on board, I didn't realise how important it was to have your centre Channel tweeter in lined with your ears. after listening to your excellent conversation, so the idea is to get your subs to the lowest possible frequency while trying to maintain the best sound.??
Great video! Any of you ever spend hours adjusting your system to get it just right and then come back the next day and it sounds awkward? Anyway I would love to hear if there are some magic settings to get two SB16 to sound their best with music. I usually turn one off because my room amplifies the low bass notes so much.
A lot has to do with placement. Buy a MiniDSP UMIK-1 and use REW to see what’s happening in your room.
Then you can add a MiniDSP 2x4HD to EQ your subs based off the measurements REW took
Add soft furnishings or thick rug to reduce reflecting sound?
Start with the front speakers and get the 2 channel dialed in. Then move on to multichannel and finish it off with room correction.
I caught you guys podcast last night that this is Pete J I'm just letting you know a little bit about my background I used to live in Upstate New York and I used to install my home theater systems in homes under a business name mr. Techno and I did that for quite a few years so you talkin about home theater systems I know quite a bit about it so maybe the next time you have a podcast we can touch on that
That’s awesome. I need to get a mic so we can do a home theater podcast with Techno dad. Joe and Ron are primarily 2ch guys
Best soundbar with great sub IMHO Nakamichi 9.2.4. SSE.
I have never used a sound at so I will take your word for it
Wow collab of 3 HT legends 🔥🔥🔥
Hi there guys! I have my benq w1070 connected to my Marantz AV7705. About two weeks ago the signal comes and goes, when I'm watching anything through the projector the screen goes black and a searching for source message appears.
Hi you did a vid with Gene awhile ago and I know you guys are in Florida with all the hometheater equipment how to you handle the electric bill? do you go with Solar? I just relocated to orlando the light bill is crazy.
No solar here. Our electric is around $300/month
As a budget sub what do you think about the Boston acoustic xb2 subwoofer?
Youthman did you ever lower your bipole speakers. I have mine pretty high since I have trouble listening to side speakers when people are sitting next me. They sound great but I feel I miss some of the highs from the tweeter
Mine are still in the original higher position. The rear surrounds are angled down towards the listening position. You might want to consider that.
Youthman thank you I need to find a way to make brackets. Thank you for your response and keep making your badass videos
Awesome video love a lot info thanks guys😀😀 Youthman u are my neighbor 🤓 i live here in florida too
Awesome! I’ve lived here all of my life
I reckon you two probably have line conditioners being in Florida with all the lightening storms you have down there?
How high on the wall should I put Klipsch 500 Dolby Atmos speakers be? Is there a minimum height?
What's your take on martin logan 60xti vs golden ears triton 3 ????
I haven’t heard Golden Ears speakers to know how they compare.
@@Youthman no problem thanks for the reply tho 🙏
enjoyable discussion.
These are very good videos!
Thank you
Arm wrestle!!!
2SIK Youthman !!!!!
Hello, I am new to this world of theaters, I bought an Onkyo Receiver that has only one "Output" OUT HDMI ARC, but I need an image to come out for a projector on the ceiling and for the TV without connecting and disconnecting cables. What is the solution? The idea is to connect the cable TV router, the PC and the Bluray player to the "Inputs" IN HDMI of the Receiver, even there are plenty of inputs but no outputs. :( I appreciate the help.
Buy an HDMI splitter if you want both images at the same time or an HDMI Switcher of you want to select which image you want to display
@@Youthman Is it necessary for the Splitter to be compatible with ARC? I will not always have the Receiver on and sometimes I want to listen to the TV speakers
You got the Dream Team here!!
Hi! Please kindly educate me as to the phase setting on 4 subs placed in each corner of the designated room!
You will need to use something like REW and a calibrated microphone you determine that accurately.
Steven’s video might help - ua-cam.com/video/_A6gPCczhuU/v-deo.html
Thank you!
Hey youthman, could you do an svs pb 2000 vs competitors such as Polk/monolith/klips
Unfortunately I do not have plans to review the PB2000
Youthman okay, it would be pretty cool if you compared high end woofers to polk/klipsch
Thanks nice vid guys.
Thanks
Do u recommend using bass traps with dual subs
I just removed my two bass traps after measuring with REW with and without them only to discover zero difference. Take that for what it’s worth
Ok thanks for your input I enjoy your videos I have sound panels in my theater but no bass traps the accustic panels helped me alot with echo tremendously but I wasnt sure about bass traps dont have any bass traps at moment just wondered if I needed them
I think again it's that same old answer.. It completely dependsnon the room. What's in the room such as carpet vs wood floors. Furniture can even help. Reflective vs absorbant materials. 2 good dual subs will always work better in room than 1. If you have bean bags blankets, pillows etc try those in the corners and see if you notice a difference. Don't throw money away.
good old fun normal days :)
Wat avr would u recommend to get .. denon Yamaha marantz anthem or onkyo
49ers Marantz anyday
@@bharathbhushan3572 onkyo is trash right.... I was looking at the rz840... but I seen alot problem with the hdmi board
@49ers I was also using onkyo before . It caused a lot of heating problems and hence I changed to Marantz Sr series and love them .
@@bharathbhushan3572 good looking
@@49ers50 Onkyo is leading the market for years on sound quality. But they have alot of issue's. I've had a denon x2300h and an older cheaper marantz. I now have a onkyo 3008 and it has alot of power. Pushes every speaker very hard. Onkyo has a more forward/ agressive sound to it so you will need some bigger neutral speakers for that. Marantz and denon are almost the same. Yamaha is the king of reliability and cooling tho.
yes arm wrestle.
We did, check out JoeNTell’s channel
Good tips guys.👍
Yes on the arm wrestling 😄
Thanks
You can cut a wooden wedge to put under your center speaker instead of spending $15. That is nothing to you but others it can be a problem. You can even cut peices of styrofoam with a sharp knife. There are many things possible without shelling out cash for something so simple.
True. You could place a folded towel under it. That’s what I do when reviewing center channels.
Hit it out the park guys! The Avengers of Home Theater! Couldnt help but think of Stallone's Over the Top arm wrestling movie :) show the arm wrestling, I hope 4 a three way tie :)
Thanks!
Question: 4 x Klipsch SPL-150 or 1 x SVS PB16-Ultra?
4 Klipsch. You will get more output and better bass response throughout the room if placed properly and time aligned.
@@Youthman Thank you, that sounds good. Great channel by the way.
great video fellas
Thanks
Great video once again.
Have to add that trusting you ears is very important.
As hearing loss goes with age.
What did you say? 🤣
@@Youthman 😀
do the arm wrestle
We did
Awesome video fellas
Thanks!
Thank you!
Next do room acoustics
Boy here is some advice I have for those building a system and that is look for sales. Sales can save you a ton of cash.
For sure! Or buying last years model after new models come out
@@Youthman I did that with my car that I bought this past July lol my receiver was on its way out for a new model so that is why I got that reduced in price
"Boss-man ..really good info- and great collaboration with the other A.V. guy's T.D. & J.T. .. "Oh. I'am the guy who bumps up the atmos speakers!!
d 🤕
Thanks
great video yes arm wrestle
Thanks and we did
The big three!
One thing I wish I could do is crossover if that option was available on my receiver.
Time to upgrade!
@@thegoat164 do you know which receiver brands offer that sound customization besides Denon?
@@markschultz78
My Yamaha AV receiver is a 2008 model and I can set the crossover. So I would say any brand AVR today you will be able to set the crossover, so if you are looking to buy a new AVR take your pick.
Is it me or is Tecno dad drunk just a bit? lol
Haha, nah he was completely sober. He was just having fun
LOL! No man, just having a good time!
Youthman Mike get the guys from The Fast and Furious yes Vin Diesel but for sure get the rock yeah Dwayne Johnson for sure
about sub I got 2 ML Dynamo 8 in subs which by the way got a good review from Zreview's i paid $
What do you guys prefer to buy next.......I have LCR on AVR....sub or amp to connect with avr?
Gurus💖💖💖
Hey your monalith m215😂😂
Channa, did they ever let you talk? 14:26
Haha he zoned out for a bit
LOL! It was a loooooong two days. What you guys didn't see was that this was around 1 am and I had shot 3 of these BEFORE we shot this 30 min segment. I thought I talked too much actually.
Techno Dad Good times! Good vids! Watched some on Youthman’s and your channel.
You two guys are so friendly and helpful. I have lots of hobbies and watch lots of vids, consistently Youthman, (&Home Theater Dude), are always there to respond and help me out.
With all of your help (and connections) I have built a great theater that exceeds my expectations and blows others away!!
THANK YOU ALL!
💪
ummmm.. was that filmed in a mall? lol
It was the lobby of a hotel while at VidSummit
Is my boy techno dad drunk hahaha
Badass videos btw
I have a good suggestion ... - Buy Paradigm Speakers .. Problem solved =)
- .. hahaha.. Yes im joking. ( but seriously.. put them on a demo list at least)
I just need to get the next tier above Premiere 😀
@@Youthman - Hold on to that thought.. just for a little while =)
I have a pair of JBL SUBS that only cost me under $150 each and they sound great to me. I know more expensive subs sound better but I cant afford them. My system sounds better than any movie theater I have ever been in. At one time those subs were on sale for under $100. When you say cheap subs are no good it makes me want to not watch your videos because beleive me more people cant afford them than can. It also means your saying my system is shit and everyone that has heard mine and seen it would differ from your opinion. You really need to be careful what you say. There was a time in my life that I could afford anything. That time has come and gone and my life is a struggle no matter what they say the economy is. My ex wife is losing her home because she has been unemployed for over a year and has desperately searched for a job in her feild daily. She is 65 and changing proffesion is not an option. She has no living relatives except for a brother that stole her inheritance so she is in a terrible situation. Im on SSI Disability. Worked my ass off all my life. Bottom line is not everyone can buy whatever they desire so take it easy on disrespecting what they can afford.
Disability? Who said Brian has a disability? He recently had back surgery. Enjoy your KEF lS50 Metas. They look cute.
I HAVE TWO PB-3000
Lots of slam with that setup
Youthman Yes I love them so much hits hard.
Wrong tecno so wrong thats if raw and shit room correction if you use arc genius you should never change crossovers or speaker levels you only do that when you don’t use room correction and shit room correction
Man...can't belive you didnt invite me. ha!
My bad! 😀
first Guys drink a few beers so you don't get stressed during the next video 😁
LOL!!
somebody pay to you a lot of money for borrowing and advertise those speakers and stereos
Me im,gonna win lol
Well duh. None of us lift weights 😂
@@Youthman Hahahh
Drink beer & listen to music thats what i do at my home. Subwoofer is the key here.👍
You guys think your so cool, but you really are

Lol
These are my home theater guys...Hi guys!!!!!
Hey Jason
What's up Jason?!
