They're universal. Just make sure it's, say, 14 gauge.

Your local hardware store like a Home Depot should carry an exact power cord in a longer length. They are sometimes marketed for use with PC's on the packaging. Just bring it with you and show them what you need in a longer length.

I've read a long time ago that some sound engineers would sometimes put dummies in a large portion of a concert hall in order to get the right sound quality, as the hall had better suited reverberation for recording than in an empty concert hall.
it would be interesting to compare a room calibration with and without people in the seats... has anyone done it? with what results?

I have often been referred to as a "dummy" :-)
do most people set the sub to 'bypass'?
Thanks.

Yes if your AVR handles the crossover setting to the sub which most do. So set your sub to bypass and forget about it, set your speakers to small and change your crossover on the receiver to whatever sounds good to you (40,60,80Hz).

I think a big problem I had was where my seat was, after sitting in every other seat 2 were unbelievably bass heavy and of course my seat sucked lol. When I get the new power cord I will be able to put the sub where I want it to be so hopefully that will fix my issues along with your tips. I'm trying to think if the V3 has a bypass on the back?

I'm almost certain that the V3s don't have an actual bypass setting, but you can turn the crossover all the way up, and it'll not bother the 80 Hz and down range.

Ugh I went to a few stores bestbuy, home depot, radio shack and nobody has a 12inch power cord.
