Thanks again for the input.
I suppose I am stuck on wattage then for the sub. There is a big price jump going to 500watts. My gut tells me 250w is enough.
How many watts to match up with 6Pi mains and 2Pi tower rears (and possibly 1Pi surrounds)? For now just a single sub for LFE, and later add another.
I have been using a ghost center since I built the 1Pi's last year. They work ok for this, but many videos give you either 2channel stereo, or multichannel which requires a center.
The 2Pi towers work slightly worse since they need more space from the walls and are about a 18" forward of my screen.
My screen is 120" and comes down to 26" from the floor.
a 3Pi would have to be built sideways (which I assume is fine) to fit under the screen.
I am hoping the 6Pi's do a better job all around. I just do not see affording a 3Pi at the moment when I am in greater need of a new sub.
