jpesaturo Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Hello everyone, I just installed the RW-5802 II along with the recommend RSA-500 Amp. I have the Lowpass set all the way down to 40 and the Level set 1/2 way. Bass sounds good at that setting. The sub is paired with the PRO-250RPW for the 3 fonts and a pair of PRO-180RPC for the surrounds. My receiver is a Denon AVR-5800. In reading the manual I see that there is an Equalizer Selection and should be at 1 but I'm not sure what it is currently at (I'll check on that). Power mode is set to Auto. I am using the LFE input for this connection to my Denon. My issue is that every once in a while I hear a pop from the sub. Not sure if I need to change a setting or maybe it is the power setting? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Had that sub and amp abit back now. There should be four settings to click for the best sound with a screwdriver. As for the occasional pop, is it coming from the RW5802 for sure? Not much of a manual for troubleshooting. Just be patient and others will give you their take on the issue. Meanwhile, make certain all connections are solid and...Welcome to the forum... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpesaturo Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 Yes, definitely coming from the sub. I'm gonna go through the Denon Sub settings to verify those are correct. I moved and everything was unplugged for a good week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, you have the option to move to the other side for the 2 subs hookup just for a check also. Meanwhile, some subbers here have not seen the back of the RSA-500 so, a pic may help them.

wuzzzer Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Do you have the amp or receiver plugged into an outlet that's shared with any other things that would be turning on and off occasionally? If so, try plugging them in a different outlet to see if that helps. Check all connections, especially RCA cables. Also, my SVS subs will sometimes make a popping sound when they come out of sleep mode. Try setting the amp to On instead of Auto and see what happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpesaturo Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 I have the Receiver plugged into a PANAMAX M5400-PM and the AMP plugged into the Receiver. After reading the manual on the Power mode, I feel that's what it could be. I will change that and see what happens. Thanks for your responses! Here is a pic from the manual of the amp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpesaturo Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 Here are the 3 options for Power Mode. 5. Power Mode Selection The Power Mode switch has three settings – “Trigger”, “Auto” and“On”. In the “Trigger” position, leave the Master Power switch in the “On” position and set the Power Mode switch to the “Trigger” position, then the amplifier will automatically turn itself on and off when 5-30 volts DC is detected or removed from the rear panel 1/8" Trigger jack. Tip is positive, ring is negative. There is no delay when using the Trigger function. In the “Auto” position, leave the Master Power switch in the “On” position and set the Power Mode switch to the “Auto” position, then the amplifier will automatically turn itself on and off when an audio signal is detected or removed from the rear low or high level inputs. There is a 2 second On delay and a 15 minute Off delay when using the Auto Power function. In the “On” position, the Master Power switch turns the amplifier on or off. Set the Master Power switch to the “On” position and set the Power Mode switch to the “On” position, then the amplifier will turn itself on and off with the Master Power switch.

wuzzzer Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Most receivers or other devices that have a convenience plug-in are designed to have low power, low current things like a CD player, Bluray player, etc plugged into them, not a high power device like an amplifier. I'd plug the amp directly into the wall unless you have a lot power surges or failures in your area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpesaturo Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 I changed the power setting on the AMP to "On" and that resolved it. No more pop, it must have been going to sleep and when it came back on that was the pop. I'll have to look at the specs for the amp but the Denon guide just says as long as it's 120V I should be able to use it. I can move it to the Panamax, I have plenty of open outlets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Glad you figured it out. I'd still recommend the amp getting its own plug. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Yes second that dedicated to the Panamax connect...good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpesaturo Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Okay, thanks for the reply's! Would anyone know if/how I can get a replacement SecureFit bracket for 1 of my PRO-250-RPW speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
