Spockster 0 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 3115 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spockster 0 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?
