    Repair JBL SCS 125 Subwoofer Capacitor leak

    Hello, I have a JBL SCS 125 which is 5 satelite speakers and 1 subwoofer connected to a Harman Kardon AVR 300RDS. Recently, the subwoofer kept turning on and off rapidly for 1 to 2 minutes before staying on. It's only after that clicking on and off for 1 to 2 minutes that I could start using...

    Best 15 Inch Sub for ~82L Sealed Box

    Hello, So I build a couple of subwoofer enclosures that were originally intended for the Dayton RSS390HF. The enclosures are about 83L and with the RSS390HF that'd give me a qtc of 0.810 with the driver taking close to 400w before bottoming out at 20hz according to WinISD. However, I recently...

    SVS PB-1000 Pro or SB-1000 Pro Subwoofer for small room?

    Hi, I’d like to place a small subwoofer in a 11 x 13 foot bedroom, either the SVS PB-1000 or SB-1000 Pro. Is room size a consideration when choosing? I’ve read up and believe I understand the trade offs, but will a ported sub overload or behave worse in a small, nearly square room? My goal is to...

    7.2.4 Home Theater first time build advice

    I've been doing research to learn the in's and out's of picking a good setup. That being said, I'm reaching a point where I'm hitting a lot of questions that don't have straight forward answers and is leaving me in hellish indecision loops of trying to find the best bang-for-buck on my budget. I...

    Why the fuss with subwoofer specs and brands?

    I've been doing a lot of learning since discovering ASR recently. When it comes to subwoofers, I find a lot less data (at ASR and in general), and more of brand-loyalty or brand-shaming than for other areas at ASR. Even in the subwoofer comparison thread by sweetchaos, the frequency response...

    Genelec Dual Sub Optimisation

    Hi all, I'm hoping to hear from some Genelec subwoofer owners/users with regards to their set up at home/studio. I own a pair of 8341's and have decided to go "all Genelec" in my home set up and have ordered a pair of 7360A's. Focusing on the subwoofers only, I currently use a pair of active...

    Hi, I have a 5.2.2 Magnat Ultra THX speakers configuration, and one of my two subwoofers amp does not work anymore, so I would like to replace it. Magnat rated its Class D amp with 550W RMS and 1100W max at 4 Ohms. Searching for a new amp, I've found the Hypex NC502MP, which can delivers...

    svs pc 2000 pro review

    Most subwoofers on the market are square boxes, with one or two woofers facing outward and with an open or closed enclosure. Occasionally you will also find one with a driver that is aimed at the floor. The PC-2000 Pro, however, is something completely different. It presents itself as a large...

    The good, the bad and the sub

    Good evening guys, I would like to apologize in advance for making a shopping help thread if inappropriate on this forum but my head is starting to go ballistic. I already sifted through the comparisons regarding some of these subs but never found a specific discussion of a trio like this. (Feel...

    Can I use a Genelec subwoofer with Adams for a 5.1 surround setup?

    Hello ASR, I'm trying to finish building out my 5.1 surround setup in my home studio. I currently have two Adam A77Xs and three Adam A7Xs working with a MOTU UltraLite mk5. I'm getting ready to buy a subwoofer and I've been disappointed with the Adam subwoofer options as they are not designed...

    Which sub setup?

    I'm looking to get some subs for my room, say 70% movies, and wondering if I should go with 2 large (PB3000 for example), 2 smaller subs (PB1000 Pro) or some other suggestions, like 3 mixed ported with one really large, or even 4 sealed (SB3000) if the subs near the LR speakers need more...

    Store bought subwoofer specification by producent.

    I was wondering how store subwoofers can achive super deep bass for such a low price with minimal enclosure. For example svs sb 1000 pro declars to hit 20hz -3 which seems quite off with that size. Other example would be emotiva rs 13 which is ported but they delcare 16hz -3 with again small...

    JBL A120P subwoofer underwhelming bass

    A couple of weeks ago I bought 3 pairs of the JBL A130 bookshelf speakers and the A125 center speaker, which I like quite a lot for both movies and music. My subwoofer was a BIC America F12 that I've had since 2011. It's a nice subwoofer and really powerful, but I just wanted to see if there was...

    Adam Sub7 - a few measurements

    For a while now I've been thinking about adding a sub to my desktop system based around the Neumann KH120A. My primary motivation was not to get more LF extension (in the nearfield KH120 go relatively deep for the size), but to solve the bass dips in the 70-110Hz range caused by loudspeaker...

    Recommendations for home passive subwoofer amplifier

    I am looking for a home (not car) amplifier for a passive subwoofer. Base requirements: - To be placed on a shelf; rack-mountable acceptable (so no in-wall models) - Built-in power supply (so, Aiyima, Acoustic Audio and similar models with external PS are no-go) - Min. 150 W to max. 250 W into 8...

    Can an unused amplifier pair of Denon AVR-X3700H AVR be used to feed passive subwoofers? (Yes)

    I am considering upgrading a friend's AVR. As an entry level AVR Denon AVR-X3700H seems to be a good choice. The unit has nine amplifiers but my friend's setup is 5.2, hence there will be two redundant channels of amplification. My friend's subwoofers are passive. They are currently run through...

    Upgrading Sub from KEF-Q400 to REL T7X, does it make sense?

    I’m wondering if upgrading my sub from KEF Q400 to one of the below candidates would have a noticeable impact on the purpose of music listening? In that case which sub (and size) would you go for? - REL T7X - KEF KC62 - I considered SVS Micro 3000 and loved the app, but I don’t like how it...

    Hi, I have a Marantz PM6006UK amp which I love. What I don't have is a sub out. There's an audio out - "Recorder out" on the backside - https://manuals.marantz.com/pm6006/NA/EN/fig/Conne%20recorder%20PM6006N_OBAOILxxrckljt.png Is this basically an aux out? Can I connect it to a powered sub's...
