emperorjj1 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Well i have an interesting HT setup and in a few days its going to get alot more interesting... anyway what i usually have running is my laptop and some old tower speakers. Every so often the volume either decreases dramaticly or cuts out all together and i have to fix it by unplugging the cable from my laptop and putting it back in. Anyway im looking for ideas on how to fix this... my wiring consists of a monster cable 1/8th headphone jack to rca, 2 y adapters to send signal to the older equiptment and a mini stereo type unit with 2 speakers i have hung on the wall... the wire i have from the old amp to the old speakers is something like 16g and its longer then it needs to be so im wondering 1: is it a voltage type thing that the old amp isnt getting a stong enough signal because of the y adapters? 2: should i upgrade the wire to a larger guage to prevent loss there? or should i cut down on my current wire length? 3: I sorta have a feeling its the amp because its older equiptment but id like to troubleshoot everything b4 buying a new amp so how could i check to see if it is the amp and what could be some waring signs? (one of the speakers is pretty much always louder but when i switch the speakers the same side stays loud not the speaker itself hence why im thinking it might be the amp) 4: what are some cheap bt good ht amps out there and where would i find them J.

emperorjj1 Posted December 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 ok well i cut the wire length down on both speakers by like 3ft each so well see what happens... oh and i added little subwoofer too :sorcerer: im sotra wanting to get a new amp too thou... that way my sub could get some more power and same with the old school towers... Anyone ever got like a seperate ht amp? i havent been able to find much but a older 2 chan pro amp (used 1000w) and i think thats a bit much plus a nice 3 chan would be alot better for my needs J.
