subwoofer

Honestly, just venting a bit. I figured, that at the least, a bunch of audiophiles would be able to commiserate. I bought a Rythmik Audio LV12 off ebay, based on the review here of the similar L12 - the V stands for vented. The ad said, that it had "Great Sound" and was in used condition, but...

I'm getting ready to add a subwoofer to my system (moving to a new place with a larger space) and I've become interested in the miniDSP SHD Studio, primarily for running Dirac. The SHD Studio handles up to 24/96 with output via SPDIF RCA or AES-EBU XLR to 2 separate DACs...one for main speakers...

I'm busy changing my setup a bit. The idea is to hide most of the nasty stuff. So mostly get rid of the cables and equipment and make it look clean. The idea was to use an Ikea BESTÅ enclosure and TV mount, hang it on the wall and hide everything inside. The middle section is used to house a...

I started getting into DIY audio as a way to save money, pass time, learn more, and increase my daily quality of life at home during the pandemic. This was rewarding and enriching, I can't imagine I'm the only one who started for similar reasons. Who else caught the DIY bug after being stuck...

Hi everyone. I am looking for some advice on how to properly get a mono signal to my active subwoofer. I am using a DJ Controller (Hercules Impulse 500) connected to my MacBook Pro. I can then use my controller or the MacBooks audio out to my speakers. I have a few splitters to send audio to...

I have a Denon 4700 AVR in pre-out mode connected to an external amplifier with a high-level connection to an REL sub. When I used a stereo 3.5mm cable for the 12V trigger out to the amp it caused the subwoofer to make a popping sound when the external amp powered on and off via the 12V trigger...

It seems like Rythmik Audio subwoofers have a good reputation on ASR. But I didn't see anything about the DIY subs from them, they call them CI series. Rythmik Audio • Servo subwoofer Products - Custom Install series Does anybody have experience with any of them? I am interested in these...

Hey guys, I think I have a power issue in my cinema room. I recently hooked up a second BK XLS200 Mk2 subwoofer but I'm bumping into something I can't yet wrap my head around. I hope this is the right place to ask for advice and learn. :) Thanks in advance! The new subwoofer I added has a...

I'm considering adding some subwoofers to my system, which consists of LRSs, a Minidsp SHD, and an Adcom 535II amp. The system sound very good in my smallish room, roughly 11'5", 13'6", 8'6". The LRSs are a "fast" sounding speaker. There is very minimal resonance type artifacts. Many...

Another “dummy” question. I have 2 subwoofers that I want to connect to my pre-amp out (L+R). How would you connect it? My plan was to connect the pre-amp out left to the left sub, and pre-amp out right to the right sub. Would this work? Or should I use Y-splitters? And how? Or should I...

Hello! Thanks to this site and Amir's reviews I've recently become enlightened and upgraded to a MiniDSP SHD with Hypex Ncore NC250MP Audiophonics amplifier. It's sounding excellent, but the clarity and room correction has highlighted a lack of bass in the Evos (rated down to 44hz only). So...

Hey all! Im currently looking at a few different Rythmik subs to pair with my F208s. Trying to debate if the F12 is big enough or if I should jump to the F15/FVX15. Will most likely start with one and move to two in the future. The room is open concept with a kitchen attached to the living...

Hi guys, I would like to know if anyone experienced something similar or has some ideas on the following. I already talked to the SVS customer support, they had an explanation but I‘m surprised that I seem to be the only one on the planet with that problem, so: I recently bought an SB-3000 to...

I've created a *slightly large* subwoofer comparison spreadsheet. :D Info: -==Link to my Subwoofer Comparison spreadsheet ==- https://bit.ly/SubwooferComparison

Hi - first off, I have been eating up all of the great info on ASR - thanks for everyone who's contributing to this fantastic site. It makes lots of sense and makes me think up more questions to which it has answers. The one thing that I keep coming back to that's weird is the "Pref Score w/...

My sub won't turn on and since this model is 10+ years old (this is my 2nd board, I changed in 2014), Emotiva said they have no replacement parts, so I am left to deal with it. Great. I don't identify who built this board to order a replacement, and the size is not exactly the same as the...

Some of you may have checked out our Inkognito series, aka "high-end design subwoofer" (https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/sigberg-audio-building-a-design-subwoofer-that-actually-sounds-good.15677/). We're now looking at building our first "traditional" cube formed...

I am trying to fine tune the phase for a Rhythmic L12 and a near field setup. The subwoofer is behind the listening position. Subwoofer is crossed over at 80hz via the amplifier crossover. Posted is a snapshot of the RTA using Pink PN with a sequence length of 64k, full range. Also included is...

I built a pair of Zaph ZD5 speakers a couple of years ago and finished the matching center channel speaker a few months ago. After that, I was thinking I was done building speakers for a long time. They're always WAY more work than I inticipate and I've got plenty of other distractions. I've...
