nuxx Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I just connected my RSW-12 to my pioneer elite VSX-84TXSi's SUB pre out. I connected the cable to the LFE Left input on the sub, and it seems that only the back woofer is vibrating. The Front seems to hardly vibrate. Does that front just act as reflex for the back or should it vibrate just as much? Thanks, -Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikekid Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 The rear is active, the front is passive. Sounds like it's working as it should. The front passive will not move as much as the rear active. Take care. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuxx Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Thanks Mike! One more question, seems like if I have auto-off enable, the sub shuts down no matter what after 15-20 minutes. Does it not understand the LFE signal from my Pioneer Elite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted January 19, 2007 Moderators Share Posted January 19, 2007 Check the setting on the menu on the Pioneer, make sure it's set to send a signal to the sub. If not just leave it on and see if it still shuts down, is the sub new ? Also if the volume is set very low it may not be enough to set off the sub. Just guessing !

MrMcGoo Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 The auto on feature on the RSW-12 and 15 are not sufficiently sensitive to keep the sub on unless you boost the sub output to +7 db or more on my Pioneer 59TXi. Per Klipsch techs, very little electricity is saved with auto on, so it is better to leave the sub set to on and not auto during movies etc. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuxx Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 Ah ok... is it harmful to leave the sub on all the time? It's in a rather tough to get to location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travisc Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I leave mine on all the time, Digital amp draws very little at idle, fine to leave it on all the time. i had the same problem with it not coming on. your allset enjoy the monster, BTW i had both, the 12 first, dont worry about couldve shouldve wouldve that upgradeing to the 15 there wasnt much difference in performance, the 12 slammed (in my opinion) just as good as the 15, knowing what i know now from experiencing both of them i could have kept the rsw-12 now you can start screwing around with placement[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuxx Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 Haha, it's paired with RF-5s right now and is too powerful. I'll be in a bigger living room soon and will also be upgrading to RF-83s and a RC-64, so it should match better then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 RF-5's are a fine speaker that some prefer to the RF-7s...do you have the speakers set to small???...let the Sub do the heavy lifting...that's what you bought it for!...
