Total bass suck out at 40hz
A little bit of an update, I added a fourth sub to the room. I now have very audible bass from approximately 26 hz up. The fourth sub was not as big a jump as going from two to three but it is an improvement. I now a a slight peak at 40 hz instead...

Yes sir, I actually know why it works, I was being a wee bit facetious, thanks for you thoughts.(Giddy with delight)

Ok, time for an update. First off I spent some time moving the two subs I had around. I finally got some bass output at 40hz but it was 12-13 db down from the rest of the band. I ordered some Y cables from Blue Jean and they came today. I have a b...

Thanks for your input, greatly appreciated. I am running two subs, seams like more is the next step.

Yes mijostyn, I have come to that conclusion as well. I do think I will build a platform for one of them just to try that and see what it does. I can tell a definite volume gain while playing test tone by just leaning forward and down so I tend to...

I do not have enough cable to place subs at my listening chair. My room is very long at 38' only 14' wide. I bought a pair DL Labs sub cables here on the Gon at 12' each, also hampered by outlet locations.

I have just went through the entire range of phase adjustment, moving the nob three clicks at a time and playing test tones up to 60hz. Above 60 nothing really changes no matter what I do.I have made the mode better but it is still there, down 8/9...

They do have continuously variable phase controls. I;m not sure what to try there, I guess trial and error. I have spent the last hour or so just moving them around randomly and re-testing. I have gotten audible base in the 40hz range but it is st...

I do have them set up symmetrically I will try that first. I was thinking the swarm is the way to go. Just not sure how to implement more subs with long cable runs. Is 30' of single ended cable on a sub a bad thing? Random is better, this is what ...

ricred1, are you talking about main speaker placement or sub placement? I am thinking you mean the main speakers need to be closer to the back wall.

I am testing with the subs playing, and yes I have good audible bass to about 25hz, just nothing with the 40hz tone playing.

I have audible base to below 30 hz, just none at 40. My room is long and narrow, equipment is set up on narrow wall. 14' x 38'. I will try moving the subs around some. I do not have real long cables so that may be a problem. I was reluctant to get...

What made you select "audio" as your hobby
I became involved with this hobby through my grandfather and uncle. I have a cherished photo of grandad standing nest to his stereo cabinet he built himself containing the Lafayette integrated he also built. Taken in about 1965/66 in Eureka Kansas...
