The question is "is it too much?" or should I replace it with a smaller version. I had a 10inch Energy that was about 7yrs old. I really didn't think it was up to the task for movies or music. I would have gone with the 350 from Axiom but the price was out of reach.

I can't try the sub until my HG M50's, VP150, QS4's arrive in about 3 weeks. Somehow I suspect my neighbours aren't going to be too happy. I live in an 800sq ft condo and one of my neighbours bedroom is on the wall of my living room. Luckily for me they like to partake in the wacky tabacky with the delicate aroma gently carried across the balcony and into my living room...so we have a mutual agreement of sorts. I don't complain and they don't complain lol

On another note, boy did I have a hard time finding a stand for my stereo and tv. Most of the good stuff is min $1,000. Way past my budget. Even harder to find one that would fit a VP150 in the cabinet below the tv. I ended up with the following from Tech Craft My Stand

Daniel,

If you own your condo, I would consider seeing how much it would cost to double up the drywall on that common wall in your living room with a layer of Green Glue between the 2 sheets of drywall. You can get your STC (sound transmission coeficient) up to above 50db by doing that. Your neighbors would hardly compain at all, if they could hear it (assuming your not going to be blasting your speakers above 100db. Average room db noise level is 40db, so if you keep your speakers at reference level (75 db) then you should be fine)

Just something to consider, It might not even be that much work seeing as its only a 800sqft condo, what are the dimensions of your common wall?
