subwoofer

With no cables attached but plugged either into an independent wall socket or the power strip where the rest of my equipment is, my sub makes a quiet but audible puh puh puh puh sound. This sound does not vary when any of the knobs on the back are turned (volume, crossover, phase switch). What’s...

Hello masters of the audio and ear candy, this is my first post in this forum so please bear with me. I'm having trouble finding a good 2 studio monitor + 1 subwoofer combo for my budget, because there's simply too many choices and possibilities and frankly my knowledge about soundsystems is...

As the title say. Just got an offer to buy a circa three years old M&K v12 for around €500. Some people think they are good subs but I don't know enough to know if the price is right

I thought I had stumbled upon a great deal at first. Everyone seemed to be saying REL was a solid choice for a sub, but when I scratched the surface I found that they are actually snake oil salesmen. Still though, is this a good choice? I'm going to be living in an apartment so I'm not building...

Hi folks! Some time ago after moving to KEF LS50 I understood that subwoofer is a really nice-to-have option for these speakers especially while occasionally using them to play games/watch video. Having a tough budget and a desire "to manage everything as smooth as it can be" I've found a...

PRICE REDUCED!! This is a great sub, in perfect condition, I'm the original owner. This has never been driven hard and for all functional and cosmetic purposes is easily a 9.5/10... without being factory sealed. I've got the factory box (great shape) and everything that came with it originally...

Hey guys, building a custom box and was wondering which will sound the best . Driver is Alpine Type R 12 inch fifth generation. Mainly looking for SQ.

Hi ASR, it's been almost 2 years since I first heard about cardioid speaker design being implemented in mass-production (it was during D&D ad campaign I guess). Last year I had a chance of listening to 8c and KH310 (w. 750 sub) side by side along with some Amphions, and while I disliked the"out...

Hi everyone, I’m grateful for the incredible advice on this forum. I’m building a Hauptwerk organ setup in my home; this is PC software that simulates a pipe organ using recorded samples. Thanks to the reviews and discussion here, I’ve decided to start with a pair of Kali IN-8 V2 monitors as a...

Has anyone got a schematic for this they can share with me? I can't find one online. I'm merely trying to find out if the voltage divider output to the subwoofer output is the same as in the VSi55, which I do have a schematic for. So I can calibrate it and use my RME ADI-2 PRO as a power meter...

Over the years I've employed most all subwoofer designs - generally focusing on maximum output... most recently I've come to enjoy an isobaric configuration utilizing a passive radiator. This offers the lowest extension for a given cabinet volume while also giving the opportunity for great...

Hello everyone! I am currently using Roon --> a mini pc with Roon bridge --> Topping e50 --> Naim Nait 5i integrated amp --> Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand speakers in my 20m2 (215 sq ft) room. I am currently looking into integrating a subwoofer. I have looked into the Kef KC62 or SVS SB3000...

I thought low frequencies under 40hz require a standalone "real subwoofer". Not to mention under 20hz which would require top stuff. Am I wrong here? I mean clearly i'm wrong, but does that mean the low frequency is not such a big deal in evaluating a sub's performance? The system in question...

Recently I turned 40 and was gifted with a pair of Dali Oberon 1 and a Powernode Egde. We live in a townhouse with our two small kids. My hifi interest is not shared with my wife hence the modest setup, but I do love it. Aside from one thing .. bass. Our livingroom is about 30m2. I realize...

Hello, I recently got this subwoofer in a package deal. But I can't seem to get it to come out of standby mode. There is a AUTO/ON switch, but this does not do anything. Tried LFE and Line In but the sub is not turning on from a signal. I have opened it up tried checking for blown caps (not...

Hi, I have a couple of questions about how to interpret CEA-2010 results when making a purchasing decision on subwoofers. The budget subwoofer selection in my area is very limited, but I've narrowed my options down to the Jamo C 912 and Polk HTS 10. The plot below shows their CEA-2010 results...

Is there a relationship between LF driver size and soundstage size? If so, what is the nature of the relationship? D (Direct relationship) I (Inverse relationship) F (Flawed-by-design reasoning to this query) I brought this up in another thread (maybe not-so-relevant there on second thought)...

I am seeking a budget-friendly 2.1 HiFi audio amplifier to connect my speakers. My Speaker specification is below. Left and Right speaker specs Model: Sony SS-VX333 Watts: 120 W RMS Impedance: 6Ohm Type: 3Way Subwoofer specs Model: JBL GT-X 1200 JBL Watts: 300W RMS (1200W PMPO) Impedance...

Hi everyone! First post :) I have only just began delving into the audio equipment world and I while I am starting to get the grasp of all the components/connections/specs etc I still have a lot of things to clear up in my head about how certain things work. Recently I bought the popular Fiio...
