Jay L Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 The hook up looks fine. Now test the tweeter like I described earlier. Use one channel only, either left or right for BOTH speakers. Also only use the left out on the soundcard. Your right out should loop back into the right input for a time constant.

Jay L Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 OH, did not know that. Well that means you can't measure phase accurately. That doesn't matter for trying to solve your lopsided output problem. Everything else I have described for testing is good though. If you are doing a near field test and you can hear the tone in the next room then it is too loud. You should just barely hear it at the seating position.

Jay L Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Now rinse and repeat the pink noise test using only the LF input and put the Mic on the upper woofer. Look for clipping as the bass energy will be quite loud as to what the Mic will pick up. Maybe drop the soundcard output 3db for good measure just because.

Jay L Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Well I thought you had already done that for the HF. It doesn't matter, just stick it 1/4" from the woofer cone and juice it. Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay L Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Well that means there is good news, and bad news. Your speakers are pefectly fine, your AVR seems perfectly fine, the bad news is you are dealing with Poltergeist, RUN!
