Spockster Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I upgraded my R12SW to a R112SW, and i'm slightly surprised with the outcome. The sub is fantastic. Powerfull, low, clean sound...but one thing bothers me. I use the exact same setup that i used with my R12SW (same level on the yamaha receiver, same position, same test movie). To get the same loudness i had with the R12SW i have to push the gain level to at least the same position as i did with the R12. Does anyone know why? It has way more power than the R12 (300 Watts, the old one has 200). So i can't figure out the reason for that. Thanks in advance for every answer!

willland Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 @Spockster, Welcome to the forum. Input and output sensitivity has more to do with it than output power of the subwoofer amp. Linearity of the amp/gain also may have something to do with that. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spockster Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 Thank you very much for your answer. After one week i absolutely love this sub and i wouldn't changw it for anything. There's only one little thing i recognised. Everytime the sub switches itself off, i hear a silent "plopp" sound. Very quiet, but recognisable. Is that normal with that sub or is there a problem with the one i got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
