I've seen people suspend dual-subwoofers. I guess it allows the bass to flow in the air rather than resonate a physical object. Personally, I'd like it inder the couch so I can feel it in my chest. Especially when watching TOP GUN. When the planes go by on take off or during the fly-by's, I feel it right in the chest. Jurassic Park is great like that. And any movie that's got earthquakes or heavy amounts of explosions.

Why not just buy a massage chair?

[BJ_M]

get a buttkicker - they really work , we have installed 100's of them ..

and subwoofers should be coupled to the floor or a solid surface ..

I like the "chicks dig it" section. i thought they were going to go on about low frequency orgasm stuff, but actually just condascend all women instead!

That was my initial thought as well.

Hey it was my friend that did it. I think it was his wife who made him do it

Yeah I'd like a subwoofer built in to a couch - that would ROCK I remember reading about those several years ago

This is my more recent pics of my bedroom Home Theater setup. The center channel is behind the flat screen and of course I have rear speakers but I just didn't feel that it was necessary to take pics of them as well. After weeks of looking for a good entertainment cabinet, I came across this one and so far it has worked and fit in beautifully.

[pyrate83]

Oh it looks like there's something on the flat screens screen but it's in the pic. Not sure what it is but maybe I need to clean my camera lens.

Thanks, that was clever. I actually haven't watched any James Bond on this set yet. I will though.

I thought it looked nice some years ago. It's only on that one wall though, the rest of the walls are like what you see behind the TV. All of the paper matches though and there's a border of pine cones around the top of the room. I was going for a slight woodsy look with my bedroom. Good for now.

[yoda313]

Hello,

No it's not bad - just thought I'd take a cheap shot at ya.... D:

Kevin

[BJ_M]

the woodwork is really nice - the wallpaper and border MUST go :P

I think I need something on the walls behind the TV also but I don't know what I could do yet.

Hello,

I bought DOOM 3 used at the local EBGAMES store and saw a HALO 2 tshirt for sale - might look good on that wall! (ps - I DIDN'T buy the tshirt :P :P)

Surprised you didn't buy Doom 3 for the xbox. It isn't out until April though.

[jimmalenko]

We (read: I ) got a Yamaha 6.1 Surround Sound system for our engagement present from my future father-in-law. It's pretty schmick

I'll take some pics and post them when I get a chance.

[Xylob the Destroyer]

Sony DVD player
the "Monster" media PC
JVC S-VHS
Sony cassette deck (behind the TOOL/under monitor)

[Xylob the Destroyer]

hehe, actually, in accordance with this site's rules...........
that is a photo from the front page of the local paper
i have altered it to express my own views of the individual in the pic
it's actually pretty fuckin' funny (depending on your view-point that is!)
and since no political B.S. is allowed here, I'm trying not to piss of the mods since i'm new here
i'll wait till later to piss you all off

I'm on the fence on this one. I think I'll wait until it's released for the Xbox and go from there.

[Noahtuck]

ive never seen anyone blur out the identity of a fridge before

I figured he was blurring out all the porn he has posted around the place as he had the pc screen blured also
I like the wireless KB though, always wanted to hook one of my pc's to the 54" but my pc's are down in my basement

he forgot one then

Hello,

They make antenna boosters and range extenders for wireless networks. You can also buy HIGH GAIN antenna's to boost receptivity. Though remember if you use a G router/receiver they're on the 2.4ghz range so you'll have to change your cordless phone if it's the same frequency.


Kevin

[BJ_M]

i have a whole house with wireless network G series and also 2.4ghz wireless phones and never had any problems ...

never thought about it till now untill you mentioned it ..

in fact our alarm system i think is also in this range ...

maybe it depends what phone you use ..

i heard microwave ovens are also in this range ...

Hello,

BJ_M - you know I had asked a guy at BESTBUY if you can change the frequencies if you have conflicts - he didn't think you could.

But from your experience it sounds like there must be dedicated channels in that range. Otherwise all your wireless stuff would freak out!

Or you got REALLY LUCKY!

Kevin

[canadateck]

I use 3 2.4ghz wireless phones never had a Problem , we have 3 computer's that use wireless,Only thing that does happen if we get to close to the router we will hear some static.

[BJ_M]

I checked - they use spread spectrum technology plus channel keying -- you should not have any problems unless they were almost touching ..
