    Help comparing these woofers specs for Tactile Response use please

    Hi! So I have been using the "legendary" JBL GX1200 for all my TR setups like Hovereze and Hoverback. I am going to revamp my Hoverback setup and was looking into maybe getting some better woofers this time that are similar in weight to the barely 10lbs of the GX1200. I thought the main specs to...

    Question about REW tone generator settings

    Hi! If using the REW tone generator to check for amp clipping with an ocsilloscope ...I am setting my avr level at 3db below my max listening level so I don't "cripple" my sound too much but what do I set the tone generator to? By default is is at -12 dBFS Thanks

    How to setup this oscilloscope to test for clipping?

    Hi! So I was watching car audio guys using cheap oscilloscopes to set gain so I figured I would try it for home but maybe this device is not enough for home testing? I am confused like what voltage setting to use for example. In the end, all I want to see is the sine wave and make sure I am not...

    Understanding GAIN settings for my amp, with MiniDSP in the path and even a portable oscilloscope

    Hi guys! So I was hoping to get a clarification of how the GAIN amp know works on an amp and how it relates to my AVR, MiniDSP etc on the chain. To give specific details.... My AVR is the Denbon 3800h and I have the LFE output connected to a MiniDSP. From that MiniDSP some outputs connect to...

    Crown XLS 1002 suddenly showing Thermal LEDs and cutting out

    Hi! So I just got a 1002 yesterday to replace the Aiyima 07 max I was using (two of them) to run two Dayton BST-300ex. I setup one shaker per channel (4ohm shakers). Everything was doing great, better than the Aiyimas. Today after doing some tests I went upstairs to do other stuff and then came...

    Dayton Shakers BST-300ex too much for stereo use of Fosi V3..amps cuts out.

    I was testing the BST-300ex with the Fosi V3. They are 4ohms and I decided to just do one per channel. Playing one alone is all good and powerful but the moment I tried both at the same time, the amps starts to cut out the sound. Using the Fosi 48V 5A did not help. So looks like for shakers I am...

    RCA to XLR adapter and lifting ground

    Hi! I have been meaning to try an RCA to XLR adapter or cable and see if there is a way to get rid of a hum in my AMP. I have tried connecting common ground and all sorts of things but the only thing that worked so far is a cheater plug for the AMP but I rather not use that and find a different...

    How bad is this on a subwoofer and can it be repaired without much degradation?

    Hi! I was wondering how bad this is and if it can be repaired easily maybe? I was getting this sub for $700 but it got ripped on the way here .

    Can a 20amp power strip pull 20amps if it doesnt have a TBlade connector?

    Ok so this one has always confused me. I have 20amp circuits with the Tblade outlets. I was looking for a power strip that was 20amps and saw this...

    Am I doing this wrong trying to measure resistance?

    Hi. Somehow I ended up watching part of a Danny R video where he said the speaker jumper bridge he measured was showing a rather high 2.8ohms or something like that. I decided to test mine but I can't get any values to show. What am I doing wrong?

    If adding a coupler does not add capacitance, there is no real impact to the performance?

    Hi! I needed a 25foot RCA cable for my subwoofer but I realized I had two Monoprice Onix cables one 15 and one 12' so just 27'. So I used a coupler and measured capacitance (if that even matters) and it was still 21pF per foot so not sure if there is anything else that is a concern when using a...

    Are Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 that good or is this guy right?

    I mostly find great feedback about the lc-1 but then found this guy Troll ? Or what do you think? He also said this "It depends on the manufacturer. Some subwoofer cables use twisted pair which serves to eliminate hum. Monster, Audioquest and many others use this configuration. In addition...

    How do I use this meter to measure Capacitance and others?

    Hi! Out of curiosity I got this meter to test some of my cables like my RCA interconnector capacitance, etc but I just realized, I am not sure how to use it. When I place it at setting I think I should be using, the number keeps moving for example from like .5 to 4.2 with one of the cables...

    Picking between these 2 audio jewlery items...any "better" than the other?

    Recently I was trying to find a good looking Power Condition like unit but I was not able to find anything that looked good to my eyes in my Rack so I am back to just grabbing an actual power conditioner instead. Its a fancy power strip, but is what I want for the look of the gear rack so...no...

    BJC LC-1, Monolith RCA and WBC GAC-1 Ultra Pro...RCA interconnector question

    Hi all! I am getting new RCA cables to match the lenghts required by my new setup and was going to order the Monolith RCA because well, I like their "fancy" explanation but of course, there is a lot of nonsense spread around in the audio world. Then I read about the WBC GAC-1 Ultra Pro here and...

    This device is not fast enough for accurate watts readings, is it?

    Hi! I was curious to see what my gear pulls during intense scenes so I got this device: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C619YRRM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I was testing my Hovereze and BossBack platform by measuring the NX6000D power draw and during Lone Survivor scene I got this...

    Anything that looks like a power conditioner but is NOT? Just need a nice looking power "strip"

    Hello, So I have decided that I rather avoid those power "conditioners" but I like the looks of them with the connectors on the back and display for a clean look. Or even without a gauge of voltage, it will be fine as long as it keeps thinigs nice and clean by connectiong from the back of the...
