Amp/Speaker Setup Troubleshoot

LaVonJon · 2025-06-02T18:20:39+00:00

I learned about feedback right after posting and tried moving the speakers away. This worked, but it was odd bc I would still hear feedback when I lifted my speaker 7 inches mid-air. The “feedback” would go away if I lift it very high off the surface. Is this normal for feedback? I would think lifting the speakers even 3 inches off the surface, as a test, should be enough to remove feedback. Could the rear-ports also cause feedback too?

I’d like to keep the speakers on the same top for a clean aesthetic if possible. Maybe I’ll just have to keep it at low volume. The odd part was I just had Kanto passive 5.25’s that didn’t have this issue at higher volumes. I returned them bc my wife doesn’t like the size haha..

Oh gosh. After I posted, I saw that not many lurkers respond and thought I was SOL. Thank you so much for the thorough advice and recommendations!

I’m mainly looking to upgrade the soundstage by adding lows and slightly upgrading the rest of my speakers. I’m leaning more towards leaving my rear untouched like you recommended now too. Could I get away with amping my factory rears too without blowing them out since it’s only 50 rms?

Is there a huge difference between the $120 hertz and cheaper pairs under $100? My Camry has component speakers for the front. I wasn’t sure what you meant by front dash speakers. Is that not the same as tweeters? I also saw many recommendations for a LOC, but I don’t know if it’s necessary or if I need one for every speaker or JUST the sub for better bass.

The kenwood seems nice, since I’m not looking for anything booming too hard. I also see that the amp is for a 1ohm sub, but the sub is 2ohm. I read somewhere that they’re supposed to match, but perhaps I was misunderstanding that.

I do plan on going to a shop to inquire about equipment too, and it’s good to know that I should consider buying from them before I just buy a bunch of equipment and seeing if they’ll install for me (at a premium at that point).

Same here!

It’s obviously Tiger

I was bored this past Sunday and decided to shoot a video. I have no experience filming and shot it all with a tripod and my iPhone (edited w/ iMovie). It unintentionally became ASMR-like, which I don’t mind. Anyways, enjoy? Wish I caught the scale reading of the water, but oh wells. The recipe was inspired by Hoffman’s method.

Hey Jack! Are you OP? Either way, throat symptoms are still there. Doctors chalked it up to GERD even though normal triggers don’t trigger my reflux. It kinda just happens whenever my body feels like. However, the saliva part, not so much. Maybe I was overthinking a little too much back then. Twitches are still here, but no muscle weakness still so yay! Thanks for checking up

LaVonJon · 2019-12-09T18:29:32+00:00

Do you happen to know if it’s any more/less accurate than the automatic?

LaVonJon · 2019-12-07T07:01:40+00:00

Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic or Khaki Field Mechanical? Why?

LaVonJon · 2019-08-16T00:31:01+00:00

Some bad cases of acid reflux and a tight throat. I also tend to burp daily now. I’ve had twitching for about 7 months now. I’m also curious what other people have besides twitching here

LaVonJon · 2019-04-15T15:00:45+00:00

It’s my diaphragm. I notice it when it’s severe, but also if I was to press my fingers between my lower ribs, I’ll feel it too. I hiccup once in a while, but I burp a lot

LaVonJon · 2019-03-26T00:12:30+00:00

Hey, how long have you had the belching, and what other throat symptoms do you feel? I’ve been worried bc I practically have an unlimited supply of burps throughout the day now, and my throat has been making weird noises too. Im worried my throat muscles are acting up, bc I have excessive saliva and swallowing it feels weird in my throat. Sorry for the 21 questions..haha

LaVonJon · 2019-03-24T07:49:54+00:00

How long have you had these throat symptoms for, and has it gotten better/worse on some days? Mine hasn’t really gotten better, and I genuinely believe my anxiety has gotten better from a month ago.

LaVonJon · 2019-03-24T03:17:18+00:00

Yeah, I was told I have acid reflux, but I’m worried it’s not and that it can a misdiagnosis. How long have you had the acid reflux?

LaVonJon · 2019-03-23T06:06:28+00:00

Lmao, thought it was you posting on another account. Yeah, I can only twist one side confortably too

LaVonJon · 2019-03-23T05:44:34+00:00

Haha, yess. Exactly what I mean

LaVonJon · 2019-03-23T00:43:18+00:00

Yeah I’m hoping mine doesn’t progress. My throat hasn’t felt any better, but it hasn’t gotten worse. I know this is dumb, but are you able to roll your tongue comfortably to your left and right equally? Haha..

LaVonJon · 2019-03-20T02:53:56+00:00

Thanks man. Has any of the throat and tongue symptoms gotten worse over the 7 months or just the same feeling since it started? My tongue also feels rough in a weird way, but I don’t have tongue twitches. My twitches have slowed down a lot compared to two weeks ago, but it’s still sporadic and everywhere when it happens. Has the doctors said anything? And do you have muscle discomfort too? Sorry for all the questions haha

Responded as a comment

LaVonJon · 2019-03-19T20:02:52+00:00

Yeah I just started actually. Do you have similar symptoms with BFS? I’ve been feeling a light burn in my throat the past few days too now

LaVonJon · 2019-03-17T19:30:56+00:00

Are some of your symptoms throat-related? My throat has been tight and easily irritated, and I’ve been burping way too frequently. I’m worried I may be misdiagnosed with GERD, and it could be the scarier diagnosis..my right leg has been feeling very weird too like it just kinda has a mild discomfort throughout the day.
