I have 13 Rooms that i want to have speakers in (3 Bedrooms, 4Bathrooms, 2 Halls, Entry,Kitchen,Pool Deck, Living/Dining Room(1Room) ) The walls in the house are currently open and so is the floor on the second floor. I currently own two recievers. I would like the system to have at least two zones. Any Suggestions? how much will this cost?


Answer
The cost of setting up a whole home system can vary greatly, depending on the quality you are looking for and other factors.

The best way to get a good idea of what you will need is to find a home theater installer that will come to your home and walk it with you, and give you suggestions. They can reccommend products as well as give you an idea of how hard the installation will be.

Is it wise to have a subwoffer placed underneath a house in the crawl space.?

My neighbor had her surround system "professionally" installed and the regular powered sub enclosure rests in the crawl space below her living room floor. There is no vent or port for the sound to penetrate, but you can feel vibration from it.


Answer
No. An actual subwoofer shouldn't be mounted under a house. I repeat: Do not mount your subwoofer under your house.

Subs can provide much more than vibration, depending on where they are crossed over, and how they are used. As one reviewer noted, a buttkicker might be mounted under there. The Buttkicker is what's called a tactile transducer, desidned only to shake things up. These are really designed to be mounted into furniture built for home theater use, and it wouldn't really be advisable to mount these under a house, either.

The soundwaves may in fact penetrate the floor, but to do waves from a jackhammer. It won't sound anything like it is meant to. Despite popular belief, sub bass isn't entirely omnidirectional, and is GREATLY affected by the position of the actual driver.

Simply putting one in the wrong spot in your room can ruin the sound you hear, let alone sticking it under a house. As well, they shouldn't really be exposed to those conditions of higher moisture, dust, and dirt.

It is a bad idea all around, and there is no basis in common sense for the installation, nor in acoustics. I call the installer's credentials into question.
