Boji7.1 Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I've had my RW-12 for a litte over 6 months now and I noticed that everytime the sub hits hard during an action scene or explosion there is a loud popping noise from the sub for a quick second. Would anyone know why this is happening? My sub level is about 75% on the dial. I have a H/K 235 and the db on the setting is set at 0 which is tight in the middle. Thanks for your help!

Seadog Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Try turning down the equalization on the sub channel about -3dB, and turn up the sub volume to compenstate. That fixed to pop I used to sometimes get on my SW10-II (I have to give Trey Cannon the credit for that trick). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 How loud are you playing at? I suppose it's possible that you are bottoming out the driver, but I have a hard time believing that considering how potent these subs are... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it's only the RSW ones... As for the relative volume... OTOH, I think its quite possible to reach it's maximum output... Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 At 3/4 volume that subwoofer is "bottoming out" back off on the volume a bit and it will stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thxsubwoofers Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Wow you turn your subwoofer level to 75%. I only put mines on 25%. In my opinion the subwoofer should never be above 50%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help! ---------------- Definitely overdriven. Take Seadog's advice and back off on the output to the sub. I don't know how much more compensation you can achieve on a dial that's already at 75%. It appears you need a more capable sub for your application. Just curious. With Rf-15's and an RC-25, have you calibrated your sub and the rest of your HT with an SPL meter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boji7.1 Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 I have a H/K receiver and it has a program called EZ Set. The remote has a built in mic and adjusts the speakers volumes automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
