jabaker Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I just recieved my new RW12 today-I had been using a 100 watt Kenwood Sub that has been working w/RF35,Rb35 and RC35.It sounded decent.I have my Onkyo 701 speaker configuration as such:RF35s Mains,set to small-RB35 surrounds set to small-RC35 set to small and rear surround set to small also-Subwoofer is set to on,crossover to 80-I cannot get any sound when I turn the sub on and do a test on all my speakers.The sub main switch is on and the auto is set to on,volume is set about half-Ihaven't messed too much w/phase or crossover on back of sub-ANY SUGGESTIONS would be welcomed!

formica Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 I'm unfamiliar with your Onkyo unit... but you start by seeing it the sub actually functions (and is not DOA). A couple of things I'd look at are: - not all units have a sub test signal (mine does not) so unplug all the other speakers try it with some source material - do you have preamp outs on the main channels? Try plugging it in there to see if it at least powers up and produces a sound. Let us know how it goes... Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardP Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I don't know if this is the same, but I received my first RW12 which was DOA. I tried every possible connection and nothing worked. Sent it back to dealer, who opened it up and found that one of the wire leads to the speaker had disconnected. Got a new one, shipping reimbursed, everything OK. Last night, added a new center, and began test tones to reset levels. Discovered the sub had no output. I flipped the auto/on switch (auto to on, then back to auto), and it came on. I'm not sure why. You may check out either of these possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 you might also try plugging in your old sub and see if it still works with all the settings you originally had when running it in the past. if it works, then plug in your RW.
