Audio Doc Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 We can assume the electrical phase is correct between the pair? or between the rest of the system for that matter? - Matt Quote FTW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyBoy Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 u said theyre in the corner, but are the subs facing the corner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forevrbumpn Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 If you wanted deeper lows, yeah, the corner.... but another thing, if you wanted them to play lower, keep the subs off in the furthest part of the room possibile that you can. Keep the subs close to you, they will sound punchier, keep them in a corner, and far away from you, the lows will play louder, even in a closet, and keep the door only open so much, kind of open, lose it till you find that sweet spot Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

Dale Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Experience has taught me that concrete walls (I'm assuming that's what you have) can be very harsh on bass response. It just makes it sound all echoy with no warmth. A wooden place would give you a better resonance. But I'm not telling you to change rooms. :- What you prolly should do is keep the sub to the side of the room you usually sit on the most, but pointing in the opposite direction. That way, the distance is greater which will help you catch the lows (since lower frequencies are longer waves). If that doesn't help, point it upward and see what happens.

Audio Doc Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 The easiest method to determing if your 'out of phase' is to swap + & - speaker inputs on ONE of the subs. If your response declines, you had it right the first time. if it improves, you done messed up the first time - Matt Quote FTW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 check and see if theyre flexing in or out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckramrod Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 check and see if theyre flexing in or out That doesn't really apply since the subs displace air in both directions and most of the time it is hard to see if the cone moves outward first before it begins the inward travel. If you have the subs on different channels then move the balance all the way to one side, if the output increases than one of the speakers are out of phase. a good idea to try is called boundary loading or more commonly down firing. You want the woofers about 3 inches off the floor. Use some doubled up 2X4s or some bricks around the edges of the box and be careful to ensure that the woofer cones don't hit the floor.

ChevyBoy Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 yes it does apply. i can tell u if a 6.5" is wired right due to it flexing in or out. if u cant tell on a sub.....then stop messing with audio. wire up a sub backwards and tell me if it flexes the same.
