The home theater...

I got the splitter box today! Had to hit Best Buy to buy a coupler to make it work and so far, working just as intended. It powered so I’m thinking it doesn’t degrade the signal with all the splits.

Currently running 3 of the 4 subs because I don’t have enough wall outlets. Was thinking of running an extension cord from the wall close to my couch and run it up front to power 2 of the 4, at the same time taking some load off that circuit.

So far with the 3 subs it’s hitting a lot harder haha, watching Independence Day certain scenes sound powerful. Not saying it wasn’t hitting before, it just hits the notes with more authority now.

So you went with the $23 box that you were looking at? Glad that's working out for you! Where are your subs positioned within the room?

I have mine in opposite corners firing down the length of the room.

@Trunk Monkey yea that one, works like a charm! Freaking China killing it with all the cheapy electronics haha

They are all lined up across my seating position, underneath the TV. I’m thinking either keep them there or, keeping 2 there and the other 2 up against my couch on both sides.

I'd recommend:

• Getting a TV stand or cabinet to hold your equipment to free up your subwoofers to be moved around the room.
• Make sure your subs are at least 6" away from the wall. 6" to 12" is preferred so, aim for 9".
• I'd recommend getting your SUBS up off of the floor to help isolate them. Consider these sub isolation options.
• I put mine on furniture dollies to get them a few inches off of the floor and make them easier to move around. Getting your subs a few inches off of the floor will help them perform better. A lift of 2" to 6" is ideal for forward firing Subs.
• Provided your subs accept screw in feet I recommend the SVS SoundPath Isolation system: https://a.co/d/cwGMmK6
• The AURALEX SubDude is another option https://a.co/d/6vb7fvz
• Or, an equivalent like the Sound Addicted Vibe Boss https://a.co/d/1NYG9ta

These are easy changes that won't cost much to implement.

What coupler did you have to run to BB to get?
Looks like you've got a Male to Female Y-splitter and had to go get a couple of gender bender/changer adapters. I though about dropping in some rude gender jokes here but decided to refrain.

Depending on your room layout I'd recommend putting them near the corners. You don't want them firing directly into the sides of your couch.

BTW, love the Davy Allison #28 Tbird model! I met him one year in North Wilkesboro, NC when he was driving that car.

so the back of the sub should be about 9” away from the wall? That pretty easy to do, I did see those isolation feet a couple weeks ago but it’s a lil out the budget for me right now. They’ll be on my wish list!!

I do plan on getting a new tv stand but can’t seem to find one I actually like haha but it’s in the works.

Haha I had to get some cheapy male to make couplers in the mean time, nobody seemed to have a male to male splitter in stock ANYWHERE.

No way that must of been a great day meeting that hero I actually got that bird in the mall, it was like an antique store that sold nothing but older stuff in the original packaging it’s a coin holder like a piggy bank.

I actually have 2 designs in mind, let me know what you think.

Just order a male to male splitter from Amazon. This one looks solid. I would buy it if I were in the market for one.

Draw me your room shape and include dimensions (don't forget ceiling height). Draw where the TV, Sofa, any windows, doorways, openings or other furniture is and I'll send a plan for you. You can also PM me pictures of the room if you like, or post them here if you don't mind sharing with the world. Placing the front two inside of the mains - like you have now - and possibly stacking them is most desirable. We just need to figure out the spacing. The back two are going to be more subjective depending on room dynamics.

Yeah, living in NASCAR country I've seen many a racer and legend over the years. Including both Bobby and Davy Allison, Jr. Johnson, and Darell Waltrip. Most recently, my son and I stopped by the Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) shop and saw Chase Brisco there. We then drove over to Denny Hamlin's 23XI shop (also nearby) and saw all of their drivers who were at the shop for meetings; including Bubba Wallace, Tyler Reddick, Riley Herbst and Corey Heim. My son even got a fist bump with Bubba Wallace. That was really cool.
