Thanks Kugumby and Gonk

This thing rocks, the volume issue was mostly an issue of height and positioning. I found a sweet spot in the corner of the room (using the switch test) and moved the amp there. The Darla scene from Finding Nemo was incredible, my kids had to grab onto stuff.

If you have a good source for the Avia disk, let me know. It doesn't seem to be available locally, and the utilities on Radio Shack's DVD "cleaner and tester" looked weak.

Gonk - I send my home theater output to the stereo, but not vice versa (my stereo is a lot better than my current theater sound system, except now for the subwoofer ). So it wouldn't be sending simulaneous signals. By you're right, I'll pass this by the Outlaw techs to see what they have to say.
