Harmon Kardon PA 2100 mono mode to the Rockford 15" sub in a 5cubic ft. box tuned to 24.3Hz
Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): none

Tweaks: none.......yet
Room Size (LxWxH): ? x ? x ?
Room Comments/Treatments: My small apartment sucks, but I will be moving first of October....
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections): I really like instrumentals--mostly classic. A lot of metal, namely for the guiter work.
80's Music!!!!
System Goals/Comments: To present music to my ears until they believe it is REAL.
System Strengths: Right now I have 3 seperate powered subs, 1 15" and the 2 American Acoustics crossed over for the 12's, so I would say right now bass output and overall system clarity.
System Weaknesses: Total output, i.e.extreme volume. I don't have super-efficient speakers.
Video/HT System: Integrated
TV/Projector: 32" RCA direct view conneted to DVD player via S-Video cable
Processor/Receiver/Amplifiers: Onkyo TX-SV919THX
Speakers (Center, Surrounds, Sub): MTX AAL 525SB dual 5.25" 2-way. This speaker is not very nice sounding. I am going to be replacing the drivers and the crossover and installing vifa woofers and a vifa 3/4" aluminum dome tweeter with 6db crossover at 1.8kHz.
Sources (DVD/VCR): Pioneer DV-C302D 3 disc changer connected via fiber-optic cable to Onkyo.
Toshiba M754 6-Head HiFi VCR w/19 micron heads.
Other HT Gear: 2 cheap 3-way small KLH speakers I am using for the surround speakers
Comments on HT System: Awesome low bass extension. Really shines on ID4, in the scene when the mothership blows up!
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: Computers and building audio kits...amps in general
