I just want to make sure it'll rattle the walls and not just sit there and make a rattling sound. A buddy of mine has a cheap home theater setup from like Walmart or somewhere and the subs just rattles instead of actually producing bass. h:

so there's really no way to upgrade the sub on this system? Another buddy of mine had an MTX 12" sub wired into his surround sound. It hit pretty hard. :eek3:

Pioneer won't do that to you. Just make sure you read the book that comes with it. Every now and then I pick mine up, and discover thing I didn't know before. And soundfields are going to be to YOUR liking. Switch up the sound fields when you watch a movie. Not all movies sound best on the same soundfield.

Sure. Buy one separately, but defeats out-the-box

true true....I just meant for future upgrades. But I suppose this setup would probably suit my needs for a while. I think I may take a cd into the best buy store and listen to it.

I'd buy this one and save up LATER for something more high end. When you get that one, put this one in your bedroom.

Surroundsound pron ftw h:

Thats allways the best way to test anything out. Try bringing a mix of things. Make sure to have a least one classical song on there, classical is one of the most demanding types of music for an audio system. An active sub has it's own amp and plugs into it's own AC outlet. A system with an active sub tends to have more detailed mids and highs due to the fact that the sub isn't working off of the same amp the surround speakers are. I say tends because this isn't always true. Im super satisified with my Sony 1000W Dream System, HTIB at it's best. Aside from Denon. Good luck.
