I’m setting up a home theatre system and I need some help finding a centre channel and a subwoofer. i have 4 front speakers 2 are energy tower speakers and 2 are cerwin-vega and my rears are 2 old fisher tower speakers.
My amp can handle 100 watts for a front channel. I have a budget of about $500. And can I put a down firing subwoofer on concert?

    You have four front speakers? Are they all running at the same time, or on seperate systems?

    And I assume you mean can you put a down firing sub on carpet, not concert, right? If that is what you meant, then yes you can.

    Maybe that's what it was. In that case, the answer is still yes though. Concrete isn't exactly the most acoustical flooring choice though...

    My HT has a Definitive Technology Prosub 100tl which is front firing. It is located in the basement on concrete. It does rumble pretty well but not as well when I had my HT not in the basement.

    I would try to look for a sub that is not down firing and place it in a corner. I am wanting a Sunfire True Signature sub which at 2700 watts should make a differnece. You should be able to pick up a Sunfire Jr. sub used in your price range. Smaller version of the Signature but will rock very well also.
    Sunfire TGP, Sunfire Cinema Grand, Sunfire 300~2 (2), Sunfire True Sub (2),Carver ALS Platinum, Carver AL III, TFM-55, C-19, C-9, TX-8, SDA-490t, SDA-390t
