Instant Karma Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Hello Everyone. I Just purchased the RP-10d Subwoofer from klipsch. I also bought the Klipsch RF-52 Tower speakers. I am running these all from the Yamaha HRT sort of crappy reciver. I just cant seem to get the sub to sound how I want it. I have the speakers setup in the normal surround config. (Towers at front on each side of tv, center above TV, 2 surrounds behind couch) I am just wondering how to get the settings right on the the sub. What is the general starting point for setup? Right now for music I have the power from the reciver all the way down going to the sub, and have the sub +8dB, on punch, and the low filter on about 85Hz. I am just wondering if I buy a new reciver will it really sound that much clearer? Because right now it sounds a bit boomy, and distorted. Oh ya, I am feeding the sound to the amp from my Playstation 3, via digital audio cable. Just tryin to find a good starting point so I can get the proper sound out of this sub. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. RF62 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Sounds like settings in the receiver need changing. ex. fronts set to small, bass out set to sub. Receiver x-over adjusted to 80Hz to start. Also try a search on the forum, this info is redily available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Instant Karma Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 Thank you for your response, I think the amp is on its way out personally, because it doesnt have some of the things your talking about, But I will try to mess around with it and see. Any ideas what would be a nice amp to buy for under 700? Would a new amp make the sound any clearer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
