    Nakamichi Dragon "Soundbar" - Feedback/help needed

    Not sure if that's of use to anyone, but I ended up making a kit to gut the electronic out of the Dual 8 inch subwoofer and using them to feed dual SVS PB-1000 Pro. The difference is night and day .... And now in the future I can keep those SVS if I get rid of the Nakamichi soundbar. Lessons...

    Oh I already look for this ... the problem is that to remove the drivers you need to remove the grills and the grills are heavily glued ... I tried glue solvent and special tools and it's a real nightmare ... true low cost workmanship (See picture you can see the drivers are attached from the...

    Yes that's the problem is that for this kind of money, I'll just get 2 decent subs and integrate them myself and slowly work my way with my wife to move away from the Nakamichi ... I need to save the face a bit with the wife first...

    Also to make it easy instead of having people watching Andrew Robinson full review tho credit to him. Here is the measurement of the soundbar by itself (Please note that the default setting is that the subwoofer play from 200hz down to 20hz) and even with changing this the measurement of the...

    You're killing me hahaha ... anyways the frustration is also them coming out with a new subwoofer to basically fix their defect subwoofer that they sell at 1500USD each ... I don't mind paying that for active subwoofer that I can reuse for the next 15 years and that come from reputable brand but...

    Also just found on their website something that I didn't saw which basically do show that their subwoofer have a terrible frequency response ... tho even that measurement is false because really the subwoofer doesn't work at all at 25hz to 20hz ...

    The subwoofer doesn't get to 125db in a normal usage trust me LOL ... The rest of the system likely does tho ... tho it really sound like pure thin distortion at this point.

    Yeah they put that but even peak, which peak are they taking ? The amplifier in the subwoofer isn't 500w and the speakers arent ? So they just make it up ? Or like you said they put "Perceived watts" base on the loudness of the subwoofer (Facepalm).

    Yeah I'll check that, hopefully it will work fine. Those subs really have something wrong... They hit hard at 40hz but that's about it and they sound terrible in term of quality of bass ... Super muddy.

    Yes my current plan is on the reddit page but basically is just to convert the electronic in the current sub into a transmitter and just use a 3rd party active sub like an SVS.

    Very interesting so all the mention of the wattage on their marketing is usually referred as peak which in my understanding that's the peak wattage of the speakers. I agree with the premise that usually cheap speaker kit just put whatever to sell the product but in this case there's 2 aspect the...
