What gauge speaker wire you go with is going to be dependent on the distance from speaker to receiver, as well as the impedance of the speaker. Here's a handy chart for figuring out what the right gauge is for you:
It really depends on amplifier watts (rms), speaker ohm and length.

I like it better than the Elex, since the Elex distorts at high volumes (driver moves far enough to rattle against the cup.)
I bought a SoundblasterX G6 and plug it into the back of the PS5 with a long microusb cable from Monoprice. I use my Sennheiser HD6XX's with it and man it sounds incredible.
I've been looking into the SoundBlasterX G6. I've never really considered using one of these before, especially for console gaming. Can someone describe what it's really like? Are you able to hear more details, does it deliver more bass, or just more volume? Or all of the above?
Well like I said, I'm looking for something more exciting than what I'm currently using, so a pair of bright headphones sounds like what I'm looking for, as long as they have substantive bass response, which judging from reviews they seem to.
Yeah I've seen a lot of comments and reviews using that exact word: fatiguing. Is there any pair you'd recommend I look at that is going to sound more exciting and punchier than my HD6XXs more neutral sound?
Yeah if I end up getting them, I'll definitely get them from somewhere with a good return policy. And thanks for the offer on the pads! I'll have to remember that if I end up pulling the trigger. :)
The G6 is just a DAC/AMP that powers my headphones, that's it. It doesnt change the sound at all. It has options to change the sound but I dont use them because I let the PS5's Tempest 3D Audio Engine handle that. I only sit like 5-7 feet away from my TV on an ergonomic office chair.
Tomorrow finally getting my new monitors. So freaking excited 😁
Cool, thank you! I would probably need to go closed back as to not annoy other people around me. There are LCD-2 closed headphones and I saw some kind of LCD gaming headphone version I think with a boom mic.
I think the top subwoofer port on the receiver and the mono input on the sub. I'd use a single mono rca cable.hey gang,
I need some help hooking up my subwoofer to my receiver.
I read in the subwoofer owners manual you can use a single cable from sub to receiver. Sometimes when I turn the receiver on there is a lack of any bass at all. if I unplug the subwoofer and plug it back in, I hear bass again. I'm figuring I have it wired wrong. Which ports on the sub and receiver should I be plugging things into?

Huh, a few things in that setup are atypical.hey gang,

great info. ty! When I plug directly into the xover its louder, sure, but its also bottoming out the sub at loud volumes. The sub is 0 on the receiver too. any thoughts on how to fix that bottoming out at high levels?
there is 0db -3dv and +3db. in the receiver itself the sub is at a 0 setting but can go up to -10
You need to set up the crossover and volume level correctly in the AVR settings since you're now bypassing the sub's own controls.
Yeah if you have a calibration mic I would set the sub volume at half and crossover as high as it will go and then run calibration.
Hmmm not sure where I set the crossover exactly on receiver. All I see are options for treble , bass etc where I can go + or - and even when I go high level volume and out sub at -10 it still bottoms out. It stops bottoming out when I lower the volume but the volume isn't loud enough for my liking.
Oh, I thought the mic was usually included with AVRs rather than optional.
Gotcha I'll check that section of the manual. Yeah I saw the phase switch but when I flicked it back and forth I didn't notice any differences .

Sorry for the late reply..... To busy getting used to the speakers. They sound very different than i was used too.
Big headphone audiophile here too with my games. I have 2 different rigs: one with a benchmark dac3, bryston bha1, Sony z1rs and meze empyreans, and the other station is the bryston bda3, the bryston bha1, and the abyss 1266 phi tcs. I also have some chifi which is the smsl sp200 thx and their sm200 dac. Good stuff.
