Each driver will be in its own sealed 4ft. sealed box(I may do 2/3 in one big sealed box that will be 8-12ft. cubes, with partitions, not sure yet)for a total of 2 boxes. The drivers will be basically downfiring(with a slight 15-20 degree angle back from the horizontal plane)directly into the concrete floor. I will be daisy chaining all of them off the XLR balanced output from the XMC-1(whenever thats available)in a single master/3-5 slave combo. There will be 2 dedicated 20amp lines for the subs alone. I will also be running each channel with a UPA-1, sources will consist of a cable box and either a PS3 slim or an Oppo SE combo player(fund dependant). I'll also have a 170i Wadia iPod dock as well. Screen will be a Samsung 63" B590 plasma(which Im waiting to get at a discount when the new models are released late spring/early summer). All channels(5 to start, 7 possibly in the future since most Blu Ray material is still 5.1) will be driven by Kef iQ30's. 2 iQ30's will be run in parallel for the center. Will be reusing all my room treatments once the drywall is back up and the room painted.
Unfortunately its a fund thing. I have 4 rooms being redone.
A. The bedroom HT system: It does double duty. Sold off 2 of my Kef PSW2500's, moved the other 2 Kef PSW2500 subs to the workout room, Currently using an Onkyo 906 which is now being replaced with a UPA-7(Aquired) and a UMC-1. Sold off my extra 906 in trade for a set of Kef XQ10's which are replacing the L/R Kef iQ10's. My old Kef iQ10's are now being moved to the center channel in my bedroom in parallel fashion like the main HT room. Selling off the Kef iQ2c center channel. Also swapped out my 2 eD A5s-300 subs for a Rythmik D15SE sub. Another one is enroute as well. Source units consist of an Adcom GCD-700,PS3,Xbox 360, cable box. Display is a Samsung PN58B560. So by the middle of March my bedroom system will be complete.
B. Workout room. Now it consists of a pair of MMGW's and 2 of my old PSW2500's from my bedroom HT setup(sold off the other 2). Source is again an Adcom GCD-700. Powered by 2 channels off the UPA-7 in my bedroom, but will be replaced by either an Adcom GFP 555 or 2 UPA-1's(Havent decided yet, but if I can get a mint condition 555 for around $300, Ill go that route). Should also be completed by March.
C. Nook/chill room/wife's massage therapy room. Consists of an old Grundig stereo from the early 60's, my Kef XQ20's, Aragon Palladium amps, BAT VK-75se tube amps(which I use during the thanksgiving/xmas hollidays), Wadia 861se and originally 2 Kef PSW3500 subs(now being sold off and replaced with either one or 2 Rythmik D15SE's). I also want to pick up a pair of Magnepan MMG's(to pair with the BAT amps for the hollidays)which I plan on modifying with a pair of custom passive xovers much the same as the XQ20's.
So I got alot of selling and swapping to do, and limited budget being work scare for me at the time. Thankfully my wife is a licensed MT and RN and we are 100% debt. free(no car or house payments, no CC debt)otherwise I wouldnt be able to do any of this, especially with 2 satanic kids lurking around. Regardless, we have to be careful with budget and that means I got to either sell off or swap as much gear as possible before I pick up new toys.
