I am currently looking to upgrade my system, I have decided to use RC85i's for all 5 of my HT speakers. I will be driving the theater with a Denon 3808CI. My room dimensions are 11 X 16 with the system on one of the 11 foot walls. What I want to do is place 2 subwoofers at the opposite side of the room and on the opposing corners. My budget is 300.00 per sub using the 300.00 credit for buying the RC85i's. I have used this Foum in the past and found it to be extreme helpful, I look foward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance.

PS the equipment list below is from 2004 so none of it is relevant anymore.
Reciever - Onkyo TX 797 (100X6)
Mains - RTi8's (Bi-Wire)
Center - CSi5 (Bi-Wire)
Surrounds - FXi5's
Subwoofer - SVS 20-39+
Moniter - Sony KP-57HW40
DVD #1 - Sony - DVP-985V (400 Disc)
DVD #2 - Panasonic - DVD CP72
CD - Sony - CDP-CX450 (400 Disc)
Sat - Sony SAT - W60 (DirecTv)
VHS - Sony - SLV-N88

    Greetings - so your question is which Polk sub to get because you've got a Polk credit of $300?

    Or you have $300 in credit that can be used anywhere?

    From your sig - you've already got an SVS 20-39+, which is pretty well regarded.

    Are you looking to replace this with two Polk subs?
