hello everyone. I'm extremely glad i found this place. It looks like a mountain of knowlege here.
a little intro on me, i'm deuce, software developer by day, dad/husband/big diy guy by evening. I just bought a house and have a 15x24 room to build a HT in...i've installed a dozen car audio systems and built a couple dozen car audio boxes but have done zippo with home audio and home speaker builds...
i'd like to do more studying and build a 7.1 home system based some of the proven designs here and on the net. i've read some good resources on crossovers online too.
to start out, i got a newbie question.
i'd like to purchase the Onkyo 706 for my receiver. the problem is it's only stable to 8 ohms, not 4 ohms, or so i've read.
i want to do a MTM for my fronts and the center channel and MT's for the sides and rear...what do most HT guys do for this? if their receiver is only 8 ohm stable and most MTM set ups are 4 ohm?
I'm thinking i could use 4 ohms mids and wire them in series for a 8 ohm load, but that would mean they're not getting that much power from the amp compared to the single 8 ohm tweeter...
this should get me started...once again, im glad i found this place...
