You got a left and a right ported pair? Location? Are they painted or Durtexed?
I have a left and right. Both are ported. I’m just outside of Indianapolis but will deliver within 1-200 miles.
As far as the coating…I have to check. It’s not the Durtex but it’s something heavier than regular paint IIRC.

Would also include an iNuke nu3000DSP amp.
I was never able to really figure out all the amp settings to get them to sound good. I’m sure it’s an ID10T error but I’m tired of messing around and trying to read forum posts on how to set them up properly.
Great condition. Never really used like they should have been. Would be local pickup only because they’re huge as sh$t.

Pic is with a grapefruit for scale. Didn’t have any bananas. Other one looks exactly the same. A few very small scratches that will be touched up before selling.
What do you think I should ask for them if I put them on Craigslist? Or here?

i've probably got some setting screwed up that affected the graph.
Did you load up the calibration file? Shouldn't be THAT far off, but still, could be part of it.
i did load the cal file. REW recognized that i had a mic attached and ask if i wanted to load the cal. i'll check my setting tonight. i think maybe i didn't have the volumes up enough or something like that.

thanks for the responses guys. i've probably got some setting screwed up that affected the graph. there is is plenty of sound coming out of the subs. i'm just trying to improve the rumble i think i should be feeling during movies.
i'll work through it again tonight. one question...is there any problem with using airplay to get the signal to the receiver while running the sound test?
-
btw, if anyone lives in the indy area and knows what they're doing, i've got a hsu stf-3 i'll trade for some help with getting my setup fixed.

my build thread. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/156481-finallymy-stonehenge-build-thread/?hl=dewthedru
i'll spend a little more time on it and then ask specific questions. i'm mostly venting right now.

What?????
Do you have any measurements with no eq?
sorry for my ignorance but what do you mean by "no eq"?
-
just picked up a miniDSP UMIK-1 and tried fooling around with it to figure out what needs to be done. here's my first set of measurements with a few tweaks.
sigh...i really have no idea what i'm doing.
-
Other than that...a good material?

Have a friend that can help me get some of this stuff for a cheap DIY acoustic treatment project. Will it work?

Will build a couple corner traps and 2 panels on each side wall.

ok. thanks! and now i have a squeak in the sub to chase down. it never ends.
-
This sounds exactly like the problem I had with my Stonehenge builds with the Behringer 3000DSP. Reversing the amp plug fixed the loud hum.
The low output was fixed by throwing an Art CleanBox Pro between my receiver and the amp. Boosted the sound by a ton.
Now I have to start working on room placement and tuning.
-
watched Sin City in 3D last night. the 3D affects were almost over the top but it was fantastic after more than a few drinks.
-
in case anyone is curious, i fixed the loud humming. i reversed the amp cord by cutting the tab off an extension cord. now the amp isn't grounded? is that bad?
-
I thought I was but then again, I'm at absolute noob when it comes to this stuff.
-
Hmmm...have a bit of hum but I'm feeling too lazy to chase it down right now.
-
I think they're starting to loosen up a bit. I have to keep it pretty low to keep peace in the house at night. The issue I had earlier is completely gone.

i primed mine and am decently happy with it. i did a satin finish and it's still hard not to get fingerprints on it. black is so hard to keep looking spotless.
-
So….are your eyes bleeding yet?
nope. had to take this kid here and another one somewhere else. then hang out a bit with my wife and suddenly it's bedtime with the family asleep and i have to watch stuff quietly with no opportunity to go crazy.

SUCCESS!!!!!
Cleanbox really helped. The whole house was shaking and I got the "I don't know why you like this...everything in the house is buzzing" from my wife. And the dog ran all the way upstairs and wouldn't come down until I assured her I was all done.
I could only get the sub really going if the overall AVR volume was super high. Now I can easily get the bass pumping without much effort. I'm kind of surprised how easily it goes into the red line though. I'll have to be careful not to blow the amp or speakers. I'll
Mess with the settings this week to make sure the limiters are where I want them.

Just the terminals on the outside of the enclosure. What would be the difference?
-
Oh...I switched the wires on the sub terminals. Seemed to make a bit of a difference but that's probably my imagination.
-
So...I turned the subs all the way up, and the AVR up to about 85%...and it was impressive when playing some YouTube vid and it was impressive. It actually shut down the amp twice.

I feel like a phone call to ONE of us could have this solved in a couple hours. Getting so many suggestions from all
Of us must be about overwhelming.
kind of. there are a lot of suggestions but they basically boil down to clean up the power going to the amp or explore the polarity issue at the driver. the other stuff is fine tuning which i'll get to eventually.
i had to fly to DC yesterday morning. i'm flying back home now and i'll have this weekend to mess with it. i first plan to hook up the cleanbox and see if that makes a difference. i'll then try reversing the wires on the drivers and see if some different combination will make a difference.
failing that....i'll build a huge bonfire and throw them in it. kidding. i'll pick up a volt meter to see what juice i'm getting at the boxes to eliminate the amp, i'll use something to measure the db levels so i can more accurately share what's going on with you guys.
What should I ask for a pair of 18” Stonehenge Subs?
