Leon2k Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hi! I recently bought the Rw12d. The problem is that if i turn up the volume a bit higher, i hear something vibrating inside the woofer. This also happens with certain songs. I think its because of the tube inside the woofer. Is this normal or is something wrong? Can i do something about that problem? Any Answer would be highly appreciated, Greetings Leon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nezff Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 could be bottoming out or clipping. You might have the gain too high, or asking too much from the sub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shake777 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Sometimes my cover will rattle. Make sure all three are attached securely. Or if I really push it on a smooth floor it will walk and get a little noisy. As mentioned previously, overdriving it will cause distortion or clipping. Maybe try setting it to flat as punch and depth can drive it into mild distortion at max volumes, although my experience is this sub can really put out some volume without any clipping. I have two of them and had one for more than a year. My main issue is gets a little rumbly and muddy sometimes when I push it but again, turning down the volume is the solution. The best news is that a good dealer will make sure the Klipsch Rep sees you are taken care of if there is an issue that requires repair. That has been my experience.

Leon2k Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Thanks your for your replys. The tube of my woofer was not installed properly. The seller replaced the woofer with a new one and now everything in my room vibrates like it should be... without distortion Greetings from Austria, Leon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUGIE Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hey guys, I just got my RW12D in the mail yesterday, the manual leaves a lot to be desired, I want to tune the sub for the most impact for action movies. What do you guys have your setting at, hope you don't mind if I copy you. The rest of my HT is RB51s, RC52, and RS52s for a 5.1, thanks in advance, should also point out that music is not important as compared to action movies for how I want the sub set up. But it does have diffent modes also...... I would also appreciate your "music" setting, I'm a greedy bastard. Listen from the Beatles to Radiohead for music type. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornfedksboy Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I have the RW-12d and I set up the movie mode with "depth" at a crossover freq of 80. I set my remaining 5 speakers to "small" with a crossover of 80. I have NO idea if this is ideal, but it gives you somewhere to start.
