Title: Setting up apartment living room Ht
Post by: bongchillog on Sep 08, 2016 at 02:30 AM: Hi pdvd..

Started a simple htib setup in my living room couple years ago, got a chance to upgrade last year (but not the real one) for another htib Lg bh9540tw setup.
Sold the htib recently.
Here's a pic of my living room with the recent htib.
(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160907/5aedb0b6054fec71e51c314cbc07a5e0.jpg)

Now time to upgrade, gathered all the things, most are ordered from US.

Gears arrived, receiver, speakers for my fronth height(polk owm3), banana plugs, cables, even ordered svs soundpath for my svs pb1000, hdmi cables, satellite speaker mounts. Subwoofer cables 15ft and 50ft.(might sell the 50ft)

(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160907/82e1fb9fdafe8fcd471806dcbf0e20aa.jpg)

Question for cable:
I have 2 sets of cables, 14awg c&e and 12awg monoprice (bought from anya), both ofc copper, both 100ft.
I am now in a process of installing them.
Cables will be coming from one side of my wall to my sorrounds so the other line will be longer.(right sorround)
Can i use 14awg for my left sorround and 12 awg for my right sourround speaker?
Is there a possible effect if i do this?
I need to utilize cables because i cannot afford anymore to buy another 100ft 12awg sayang kasi. Sorround speaker is svs sss-01 dipole btw

Pwde ko ba pagsamahin ang speaker cable at skycable cable sa isang moulding? Meron bang effect eto sa sound?

Question for my receiver:
I will be running 5.1.2 atmos setup.
Where will i connect the front height speakers? Should it be sorround back? Or front height? Im hesitant connecting it to front height since it is labeled "biwire"

Thanks for all your response. I'm in a process of familiarizing my receiver, so expect many more questions.

Special thanks to certified audiophile Sir lawrence aka "forseti" for helping me eversince, to jazzed up of greenhills, to bullet for the ht recliner, regulus for the dentons(front) at sunset blvd. for the dali vokal(center) mavs for the sabre tv rack and avr (stavol local)
Courage for the bookshelf mount, jao for the sss-01, vgvision for the svs pb1000.. At sa mga kinulit ko sa pm while gathering all of these.

Post by: disturbed on Sep 08, 2016 at 07:00 AM: Nice..congrats sir..

ang haba pala ng runs nyo sir..yung 100ft is magagamit lang ba yan for surrounds only? Gaano kahaba difference ng run ng left and right if you plan to use different gauge wire on each side? Though tingin ko wala masyado magiging difference kung mag auto calibrate ka..kung me difference baka mag compensate na ang receiver nyo sir..

I also think na ok lang pagsamahin ung skycable cable sa speaker cable nyo..shielded na yan so dapat wala naman mag leak na noise..kung meron man sobrang minimal cguro nyan at hindi nyo na maririnig..

Nilagay ko kasi sa wire hider/moulding kaya humaba lang. My cable is not shielded. Ill run nalang siguro both side para kumasya ang 14. Yong 12 madami pa. Sa fronts and center ko lang sya ginamit.
Baka pagsamahin ko nalang sa skycable cable sa kabilang side. Ang hirap din maglatag mg wire moulding

Post by: bongchillog on Sep 15, 2016 at 09:14 PM: Ask lang po sa receiver ko kung kaya nya ang 5.1.4 configuration if i add a 2 channel amplifier?

May mga pre outs pa sya at meron sa settings 7.1.2 configuration...
Wala lang ako makitang may naka ganung setup

Di ko pa nilagay. 4pcs yong ni ready ko (24x24x3)and when i do the clap test wala na masyadong feedback sa bandang likuran. Parang silent treated na ang room. Maganda na kinahinatnan, living room kasi yan.baka na absorb n ng mga gamit ang standing waves. Baka lang hehe. Di ko talaga alam :)

Yong sa likod ng denton nalang sigruro ang lalagyan ko.
