Just make sure to use your legs when you lift them to move them around! On a serious note, you may want to use Alan's trick to put the sub where you will sit and then move your ears around the room.

It's a DIY screen project that went horribly wrong. Its a 92" screen made from blackout cloth stretched over a home made frame. Problem is, I stretched the cloth too much, and it bent the frame, making it really hard to get a proper "squared" screen on the wall. it looks straight on the photo's (kinda) but it really is not straight at all! It cost all of $40 tho, so I can't complain, the Z5's image is so stunning I just don't care about buying a $300 screen, its a waste of money. Look on the internet for DIY screens with blackout cloth, it really is very easy. I can give you a breakdown of the process if you want. Give me a pm.
I am using a Sanyo Z5 720p projector, seated at 10 feet away, I can't even see SDE, it really is an amazing value projector.

I'd be interested in hearing you views on the difference the 2nd 600 makes. I have a 4000 cubic room with a single 500 and really don't miss any bass. Of coarse I don't know what I don't know. I mean, I don't know what a 2nd 500 would sound like. But the single 500 is enough to crack drywall.
I am betting you won't get more bass, or better bass, maybe more even bass.
I bet with 2 600's you could start your own little earhquake though, that's always fun!

I wonder how the sub crawl applies to dual subs?

Paul Having more subs isn't about getting more bass (all LFE should be calibrated with the rest of your system). The advantage is uniform bass across the room, less bass nulls and more even LFE in all seating areas. If I had the money (and the approval) I would also get a second EP500 in my lttle 1900 cu.ft. room!!! But I don't have a death wish

Alan wrote something about this last month, I think. I don't remember it pertaining to dual subs only a single sub. I would guess you would do the sub crawl as usuall and then go directly opposite that placement to even out the sound/feeling.
