What Dvd Is Gonna Be The Best For A Good Wow Factor When I Hook This Up? K-19? U-571? Pirates Of The Caribbean? Saving Private Ryan?

    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    War of the worlds right at the beginning of Chapter 13.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    Titan AE, Chapter 13...good highs with the ice breaking, good surround effects and good, low bass. Shows off the entire system.

    yeah.. 9 or 10 o'clock is a good place to begin.. then adjust from there.. but yeah you want to bass to not be to noticeable on every scene.. just when needed it will kick in.

    over riding the bass to me can be just as distracting while watching a movie as not enough bass. it'll take some time to dial it in just right.. but when it does. there isn't much better out there than a good subwoofer that digs deep and can hold it's own. :D

    please list your speakers..

    fronts
    surround
    rears
    center

    we already know your SVS sub very well. ;)

    even though my fronts are RT800i's towers, I still run them on small.. so you will need to play around with it some...
