The Dude Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Is this normal, seems if I push on the side of the cabinet it either goes away or quites down. Is this why folks put braces in. I haven't removed the bottom and taken a look inside the dog house yet to see if anything is loose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBPK402 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I think that is the reason... If it was a loose part I think it would keep buzzing no matter what. It must be the resonant frequency of the cabinet. Do you know what frequency is it buzzing at? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 That's why people put braces in or stiffen the sides. It's also why the newer Lascalas have wider material on the sides of the cabinets. I crossed mine over to a sub at about 70 Hz. it got rid of the buzz and I kept the stock appearance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Mine will be used as a center, with the sub crossed at 80 or so, should I not worry about it until then to see if it does it then. If I find a amp I could add that spud to it to see what happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I find a amp I could add that spud to it to see what happens. It should be fine like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 If it is buzzing, then I don't think it is an issue of needing a brace. I think there is something loose inside. Have a look and poke around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look and poke around. I was thinking of doing that anyway, just to make sure I have everything in there good. If I remember correctly when I received the driver I just put it in there to store it and not check that everything is good and tight. Maybe tomorrow as I don't have to work and it will be a good day to play with speakers. Plus I need to get the drivers back in the Jamboree to see how she performs.

He said that if he pushes on the sides of the cabinets, the noise goes away. I still think it's a cabinet resonance issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 If it is indeed the cabinet and you fix it, you will come to think you've added an octave (or some amount) of bass to their output. It's already there, just masked by the buzzing. In his active settings, Roy puts in a -7 db PEQ at 148 Hz (Q=8) to help kill it electronically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobdog Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Mine don't buzz. What is wrong with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
