Finished - SDA SRS's in my Home Theater

gij801

Well who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks. These are my original SDA SRS's that I stuffed in the back of my GTI in 1985. All original and in like-new condition. Now they power my HT and hammer! Sorry, just had to brag a bit.

That is so sweet. Am I allowed to be jealous.

Thanks, although I did think people would be more interested in how I got them in my GTI. Just under 1/2 half of them stuck out the back with the hatch open. The car itself was a bit cantilevered for the whole 90 mile trip from Milwaukee to Madison, WI. The dealer didn't think it was possible. I've replaced every other piece of A/V equipment many times but 22 years later these still blow people away. Gotta love 'em.
.......And yes, they are powered by an amp seperate from the A/V receiver.

I take it you have a boy and a girl.

I hauled my first set home in an 87 camaro. Actually a pretty good car for moving around the big boys.

Are you still around Madtown? Let a guy take a look-see, or a listen-see as the case may be

The setup looks great!

Which projector are you using?, Is it HDTV?, And is that Screen Goo on your wall?

Panny AE900, which is 720p HD. The screen (120")is a piece of 5x10 WilsonArt Designer White countertop laminate. Did a poplar frame around it and trimmed it out with some black velvet. I should add that I am using a $24 Cyberhome DVD player. I got the DVD player the same place I got the laminate - Menards! The panny upscales and deinterlaces fine.

I'm waiting for the Blu Ray/HD DVD thing to settle out before I upgrade.

Its already been settled, its called price drop. If youre waiting for the war to offically end, I think youre be waiting a long time my friend. You can get into HD DVD for less than 300 bucks now, and the Sony BD S1 is going for 700 in my area. No need to wait, the water is just right, dive in and prepared to be blown away.

Nice setup by the way. I cant wait to get my new JVC fired up on a 126 inch.

Rule thumb always buy second generation of player so you get the one with less bugs.

I did, my first Cyberhome didn't do DTS;).

I also wanted to add that given the SRS's large passive subwoofers and the praises they received at the time, the SVS cylinder sub in the corner certainly goes low & loud. I always wondered if I should be throwing more power at the SRS's. Right now they are being feed by an Adcom GFA 555 and I cut the low freq's over to the sub at 80Hz - which has a built-in 550W amp.

I don't cut the lows to my SRS's and they sound fantastic, especially bi-amped with the RDO tweeters .

Why waste all that capability? If you had -2's or -CRS's I could understand.
