Dang Tony, I owe you a beer, or two, or three….thanks for all your help. To clarify on the pre-outs for the surround back’s, they are coax. Do I just buy a R/L coax cable and plug it into the sub? I haven’t seen the back of these subs, but thought that they just had one coax input? Or will the coax plug right into the sub’s speaker inputs?

As far as upstairs, it’s actually a small gable roofed dormer. Between the handrails around the loft perimeter, vertical support posts and beams, I’m limited with floor space. The one spot I could possibly put the sub is tucked underneath the roof joists (the roof is a 10/12 vaulted pitch). I might be able to squeeze the cylinder in there, but I’ll have to take a tape to it. It’ll be a bitch to get it into position and I’ll not want to do it more than once. I’ll take some pictures and post them. I promised I’d do that in another post anyway.

Rick, thanks for the tip. I will.

Thanks again for all your help.
