First and formost, ask for the recipts and dont pay untill you get this sorted out, this looks VERY fishy.
Well first off, the 1082 does not nearly have 150w per channel, might want to check on that.
i think the 1802 does what, 80 x 6?
the 1802 is an older model, here is some history..
the 1800 2800 3800 4800 and 5800 came out,
seems like each year they find some way of upgrading these and they renamed them to 1801, 2801, 3801, next came the 1802-5802, then the 1803 to 5803.
the 4803 model is about 2 grand, the 3803 which i owned recently pumped out 110W x 7.
The 4803 does 125 x 7 i think, and the 5803 does about 170w x 7
The 1802 is last versions bottom end of the 800 series, and you can get one used for about 300 bucks. These are no longer being manufactured.
DEFINATLY ASK FOR RECIPTS AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE GETTING WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR.
as for the rear channels powering the subwoofers, it could be done but Crossovers are needed, plus some tricky cabling.
Sounds like the guy is trying to install a system he claims cost alot more than it really is.
If you are managing an upscale apartment, chances are half the residents have better gear than that.
**************************************
I say you are getting ripped off, cancel any payments and get paperwork on all purchases, get all the model numbers for each individual speaker, amplifier, dvd player, everything.
Then post all the gear on this board along with what he is charging you. You have virtual army of techno-geeks and gear heads here that will give you straight honest answers, and will probably be able to reccommend somebody in your area that is a good honest installer.
if he is claiming the Denon 1802 is 2 grand then he is full of SH*T and trying to screw you.
let us on the gon help! we all hate people that do this crap!
