And you guys, in regards to subwoofers specially designed for cars vs home theater.. there is more myth than fact. The soundsplinter drivers are very similar to the ones in SVS subs. JL audio uses the same drivers in their home theater line as their car line... I could give many examples, but It all comes down to how you design the box for your sub.
-
Soundsplinter subwoofers though impressive in xmax and such are not quite the go getters for home theaters. The Qtc is way to high fo home theaters without a redicoulous enclosure (Try 20 cubic feet, most fridges start there) and don't even try porting or pr the sucker.
They will not hit low without massive enclosures.
The one he was talking about has a QTS of 0.219.... thats lower than any aforementioned subwoofer in this thread.

You can use the rsx-4's no problem. It wont hurt them. The 4's do sound better than the 3's, but then again, so do the 5's
go with the 5's.
-
may I add one more suggestion for the woofer.

I hate to ask the question, but you're ipods hd may be failing. I'm not sure if apple has a utility to test it, but you could try doing a long format in windows and if that halts, you know there is a problem.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
backup your music obviously.
-
you can just try the headphone input then you can set the igroove to the lowest volume, then just lower the ipod volume too.
-
no, you didnt rever to Thiele, Small, and Nousainne , you reverd to winISD which sucks.
-
I dont care how good that software is, you cant just plug in TS parameters to determine a fq response of a driver. You dont even know to what degree of uncertainty the TS parameters are! Futhermore, they dont tell the whole story. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
This whole thread is asinine, is anyone here even a freaking audio engineer, THOUGHT SO.
-
imo, get the subs away from the corners and place them right next to each other center below the screen. This does two things. Helps reduce a potential corner loaded frequency peak but more importantly, it will allow the subwoofers to be in phase throughout the entire room without comprising localization of either side of the room.

think they're fine. After being a stereo nut for a long time, I have concluded that distrotion kills speakers more than power. People would brag how their amp was so bad *** that it blew their speakers. Yeah, after listening to them too loud for many hours. Like Gil was saying, you can push on a woofer with your hand (apply force evenly) and if you hear a scraping sound then it's got a warped voice coil. That's what I saw with people's car stereo subs. Tweeters, once they blow, just quit playing. (in my experiences) I don't know alot about horns, I am on my first set right now. I have seen a huge amplifier cause a woofer cone to actually physically seperate it's self from the surround, but that was not what you have. It was a big new amp and a crappy 8" speaker. We did it (in high school) just to see if we could. I've also seen melted crossovers. That shouldn't be a problem for you either though, since you turned it down quickly. Good luck.

Yep, this happened to one of my subwoofers, my VC overheated and it scraps on the side of the magnet. This was in conjunctin with the amp blowing too! Talk about overdriving a sub! Lucky for me it was all under warranty (BTW it was NOT a klipsch sub )
-
2-main ways:
too much heat on the vc, which would have been unlikely in your case because you only had it loud for a very short time.
or, mechanical damage. The vc slams into he back of the magnet and something gets bend or forces the cone too far forward and tears the suspension or worse, the vc rips right through the cone... thats always funny too.
-
You can mount the rears into the wall like this:
and of course, you can do the same for the fronts and the subs -
expect great things from this driver.
http://www.tcsounds.com/Images/LM_news.pdf<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />Its not offically out, but Eclipse is already adopting the technology and Im damn sure SVS will change at least their Ultra woofers very soon.
With the new voice coil the new driver is able to increase the SPL by about 6+ dB while maintaining the same THD - yes, very impresssive. -
Even with say a 40Hz or even 30Hz crossover it still feels unbalanced. You don't exactly have directionality with your ears at those low frequencies, but you can certainly feel the shockwave...
no DrWho, it would only be a "shockwave" if your subwoofers were moving at about 760 mph at you.... in which case.. get teh **** out the way!

WOW, the dollar has fallen in value.
-
I have heard the 54's, my only complaint is the lack of bass, but they have lots of presence and soundstage and incredible volume. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

I have owned both, the RW-12 is a little deeper and cleaner, also has more features and its certainly prettier to look at, but he Sub-12 has more output and slam. Its a close call, but if i had to choose, i would go with the next generation of the RW-12.

It's probably fine, turn it up loud again to see if the bass is still working.

I have my eye on that one because of the XM as well.
Thanks
Forget it, like i said, xm BLOWS! I just returned my antenna yesterady and canceled the account. I had high expectations. For a car, xm is one thing, but when you're at home you cn just as eaily connect the denon to a PC and get streaming radio. This is what i do, and its FAR better quality, more selection, and its free unles you count your isp bill.

I just picked up an AVR 2106 for $420 (i got hooked up)
I absolutely love it! Im powering some energy c-3s at the moment. Its got plenty of power (conservite 100watts per channel and all the lastest features you would expect from denon included 6 channel analong input. The only major draw back is the lack of hdmi, but if you can live w/o it, the 2106 has greate value considering the next step up with the 1400 dollar 3806 or if you wait a while, the $1100 2807. The only thing I hate about is the xm radio.. I was entirely disappointed with the quality of XM. It flat out sucks. It has even lower quality than regular radio that comes in clear.

I work for a store like BB (I wont say the same) I try extremely hard, and I am almost always rewarded. Last week I kid you not, I got a 500 dollar tip for helping someone out with some home theater questions. Yes, 500 bucks! I do get customers like you said but I dont waste my time. I say the same thing every time: Does you're internet store have to pay for this building or my time? No. Does your internet store provide in person customer service? no. Does your internet store have a full credit no question return policy with free shipping? no. Can you buy something from the internet store today and have it in your hand in less than 10 minutes? no.
-
in short, it makes no difference. Just use one or the other (DO NOT SPLIT)
But go for the sub-12

No offense to Klipsch but you better look under the hood of the Aragon 2007 before dropping that kind of coin, it looks like they put a 4 cylinder engine where a V-8 should be. A single power supply and a weight of 45 lbs tells me all that I need to know, which is look elsewhere. I think that single power supply will run out of steam long before all 7 channels get anywhere near 200 watts each. For the money there is alot better to be had
Look into B&K or Sherbourn both are reputatble, solidly built and sound great with Klipsch.
That line of logic is exactly why audiophiles fail to realize what they may have... may not be the best even if its more expensive and more massive.....
