dzt5002 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Recently, my friend and I decided to upgrade my 5-year-old promedia 4.1 system. Mind you that when I bought this system, I bought it refurbished. I bought 16 gauge speaker wire to replace the 18?20? guage speaker wire on the orginal system. I cut approximately 4 inches below each speaker wire's jack. I then stripped the wires (new and old) and soddered them together. I taped each wire individually with electrical tape then taped them together. After finishing the project, the speakers worked very well. Fastforward one day later... The subwoofer is grumbling like a distant thunderstorm. In other words, the subwoofer is firing sporadically with and w/o the music playing. The satelite speakers are not experiencing any problems. I thought it might be an a/c current issue (I live in an old house). However, I plugged the speakers into a part of the house that is not experiencing any problems and still received feedback from the sub. Is there a resistor blown on the amp? Is the system not able to handle 16 gauge wire? Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgoreck Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 The speaker wire should have nothing to do with the sub rumbling. It definately sounds like an amp issue with the sub, something in the circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
