[avbirk83]

setup

denon 1613

2 klipsch icon 26f floor stands

1 klipsch 52c center channel

1 Klipsch Synergy Black Label Sub-100

 

so i just got my sub yesterday and got it all hooked up but when i played a movie the subwoofer put lower than expected output. my sub on my klipsch pro media 2.1 speakers pc  are far louder than the new 10 inch sub. ive had to turn the sub gain and levels all the way up to even feel the bass. does anyone know if this is normal for this sub?

I was having the same issue and did the following.


Dropped the EQ to +2

Set crossover at 80Hz

Set front speakers to small.

Set volume level at +3 on amp.

Turned the gains on sub down until i could just hear it at low volume.

Moved it around a few times but works best un front.

EQ has 4 setup options and using 1 for music and 2 for movies.Bass levels are higher for movies.

I just tried all that. Sub just seems to barely be putting out any audio. I’m retuning it to amazon. Any recommendations on a replacement? I paid about $200 for this one so price range is around 300-350 range
