Finally got the rest of my speaker set up today:D

Let me say the FXi A6's Really sound good compared to the FXi3's i had THEY ROCK. and i really like the DSW PRO 500,and 600,but this is by far the best setup i ever thought i would have.alot of you guys on here have been fortunate to have had many systems or at least have been able to hear alot of systems that i have not. so i am very pleased to have this set up.with that said i can not compare these sub's or speakers but to the other polk setup i had/have (i put it up stairs in the livingroom) this new setup blows the doors off my other setup BIGTIME.

    Why did you go with two different subs?

    I thought i would try it as they each have a little different sound. i was going to go for both 600's but somebody had mentioned that the 500 has a better sound with music as the 600 works better for the HT so i said f@*k it i will get one of each and try them both out LOL i also talked to somebody at polk about this as well and he said the samething plus he said if i found i liked one better then the other return it and get the matching one.but right now i think it sounds great.

    It's not overkill at all. Within the RTi series, those are basically the ideal surround speakers.
