babadono Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 So could these be built with the woofer pointed down? On some legs of course. Would the SI HT18 be OK with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I can't imagine why not. You'd need 2 to 3 inch legs I would think. Like an SVS down firing sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 My subs never walk across the floor because they don't have leg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewthedru Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) got it all hooked up. not in the right spots and i'm waiting for longer screws to mount the drivers but good enough to hook them up.... .....and i can't get the volume any higher than to where i can barely hear them with the gain turned all the way up on both channels. i have it set to stereo. my connections rca out via xlr adapter to the amp speakon connectors with the12g speaker wires hooked to +1 and -1. speaker wire to the speaker connector. red from speaker connector to the + on one of the coils. red jumper to the other + on the other coil. same with the black. am i missing something? does my denon x4000 have some sort of limiter or what? i can't find anything on the behringer app that's limiting it. the subwoofer volume is set at 0 like the rest of the speakers. aaarrrgghhhh!

Scrappydue Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Put the LFE mode to LFE+mains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Oh and also Id switch your subs to a single unless you are gonna EQ them seperately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewthedru Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 so....dual mono or bridge? and any idea on why both channels are super quiet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Probably needs a line converter like an ART Cleanbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 so....dual mono or bridge? and any idea on why both channels are super quiet?did you do like I said and try witching the subwoofer mode to LFE+mains? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 no I meant like you have them eq'ing in the amp as a single setup but I guess in all reality they can be eq'ed by audyssey seperately. So your good for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Under configuration, the I Nuke is set to stereo. It sounds like you want to run in bridge mode-dual mono. Things are wired for a 2 ohm stereo load. The speakon connection can affect output if they are wired wrong. You really should not have to set the mains + sub to get output. Also, with two subs, the setting of separated distance for two sub is not that important in the subwoofer band in a small HT. Others may disagree on this point but, due to reflections in a small HT the exercise of setting distances accurately is not accurate to say the least. In Pro setup in open spaces it is valid.

dewthedru Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 FWIW, I can try any combination of settings and wiring right now as the subs are next to each other and the amp so that might help with seeing what the issue is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Stereo 2 ohm will give 1500 watts per ch. A 4 ohm load is easier on the amp. I never used the I Nuke 3000 DSP amp in a 2 ohm loads. The key is making sure the Neutrik speakon connection is wired correctly. I have a Nuke 3000 DSP running my shakers in stereo and if I switch ch A and B speakon without re-wiring, I get minimal output. For now, I would just try bridge mod to get things working and then you can work on wiring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Probably needs a line converter like an ART Cleanbox. Shouldn't be necessary with iNukes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stereo requires two pair of wires coming out of the amp, one going to each driver. Had you bridged it, one pair of wires would come out of the amp then you'd do whatever on the sub end to get the right load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
