Hey guys, I just got my new surround speakers, but the terminals are a little bit confusing. Can someone tell me where to run my wires to, so that I can hook these up and start rocking?

by the way, if you think the F/X 1000's are big, you should see these monsters, I had no idea they were this big, they weigh like 30+ pounds each

    Yeah thats what i figured, I just tried it out, nothing. I thought i heard it faintly, but nothing. my left main was going fine, I only had one hooked up. I actually only have one, for some reason although they were shipped at the same time, fedex dropped this one off today but the other one is not supposed to get here till tuesday, so the tracking page says. I will be gone till thursday, so I will have to tinker with it and give you an update then.

    Can anyone confirm the terminals? What is the green thing? there are two jumpers running between those 4 lower terminals. I wish I had a manual

    Well I got it working, my new H/K signature 2.0 has a quirk where it occasionally only sends signal to one speaker when a radio station is weak, and I just happened to be testing with a weak radio station.. oh well after about half an hour of swapping connections i figured it out. Here are some pictures. As you can see, these aren't your mother's surrounds ;o). it sounds good, actually matches my infinity's fairly well I think, but i havent set them up yet so im not going to make judgements.

    I really dig the no logo on the speaker look, very professional. Those are infinity IL60's in the background, h/k / microsoft TC1000 remote is on the desk

    A picture of the flexy rack. top to bottom, panny rv-31, h/k sig 2.0 pre/pro, carver M-200t, carver M-500t. Infinity IL120 sub is on the left. I still need a rear channel amplifier.. In time, in time...

    btw, this is the temporary bedroom rig (it's definitely overkill for a 13 x 13 room, I will probably leave it here until I get a decent size apartment. I have an IL-36 up front for center channel, and use a computer monitor for a tv. I have a 2-channel rig in my dorm right now, consisting of carver c-1, carver m-1.0t, polk rt-55i's
