  1. listening to Zepplin on Spotify right now and it sounds really good, could use a bit more punch on the drums but overall not bad, just seems to lack in the movie sound department, I am also pretty limited on places to put it, it's either facing me between the fronts or facing me angled into a corner so the port is firing into the 90 degree corner.

  2. I am sorry..I forgot that I posted to this forum, hope I didn't frustrate anyone by not answering.

    my old sub was a 10 inch and I had the crossover knob set all the way to the right , same as the new one and the gain at halfway, also the same.

    I am reading about slope now.

    My fronts can produce 50hz so i have the crossover on them set to 70hz in the receiver,  that should be pretty good, no?

    Sub crawl should be the first thing you do.

     

    Google crossover slope if you are interested in learning more but in layman's terms it means how quickly the loudspeaker rolls off.

    I am reading about slope now.

    Did you do a sub crawl when you placed the subwoofer ?

     

    Does the DSP offer crossover slope options ?

     

     

    I didn't do the crawl,  the only adjustments for crossover are hz adjustments in increments of 10hz, not sure what "slope" is, sorry. I am able to adjust decibels for each speaker also and distance.

    Different subwoofers have different characteristics, you will have to recalibrate whatever DSP the receiver is using to properly tune in the new sub.

    Digital Signal Processing,? I did the auto calibration function with the new sub but i just don't like how it sounds, i did an audio frequency sweep and didn't hear any gaps in the transition from the sub to the front speakers. I even played around by changing the crossover to 60, 70 and 80hz and higher, my auto calibration always senses the front speakers as large... i see that's a common problem so i always change it to "small",what other tweaks should i consider? 

  7. Just got a Klipsch 120SW to replace a dead 10 120V, I didn't change any settings in the A/V receiver and I no longer have that mid-bass punch like you'd have for gunshots and such..you know, the punch you can feel in your chest, I am using Polk Rti4 front speakers and a matching center speaker, I have the crossover set to 70hz, what am I missing?

    I have really deep lows just don't have the punch with the new 120SW.
