He built his own highpass filters, so the dip switches probably don't apply. Still, the first thing I always start with is checking with a voltmeter and 1kHz/100Hz tones that the frequency response of the highpass filters is correct. Then check that the subwoofers are working by checking with the Vandertones and an SPL meter (sounds like you've done that). I have problems with the bass level pots on my Quatros, and I sometimes have to wiggle them a bit if the bass response droops or drops out. Calibrating the bass response can have a large effect on the midrange transparency, so you may want to redo this (sounds like you may have already). Richard has a newer procedure for this which is a bit easier than the old procedure (it's in the newer manuals online and on youtube). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C60LoHGtI0 |
So far this weekend I am thinking that the sub-amps are not working properly. Turned up to full volume they should be shaking my house but they are not. One has a pop when you plug it in and the other has a blown cap and resistor so that pop come on after about 30 seconds. I am going to have to remove them and go through them. The top end sounds really good so far. |
