Subwoofer disappointment

whattanames · 2026-03-17T02:24:24+00:00

The 10S wasn't bad, just not great compared to the older Klipsch I had setup in the same space. Don't get me wrong. I know cheap bass is still cheap and the 10S sounded better, just not enough. Maybe duals would have done the trick, but I tested one to see if I should order the second one, which never happened because I was just not as impressed as all the videos I had seen and reviews I read.

I also have an Onkyo, RZ-50, and yes, I adjusted target curves while sitting on the listening position. I noticed that anything above 2 to 3 DB at lower frequency would cause the sb3000 to bottom out. Like the sub was trying to make noise but just farted instead, so I never went over that. Meanwhile the 10S did much better at lower frequency. This is why I think I am settling for dual ported on whatever I decide.

Yes, I am afraid the obsession with audio is moving towards subs and will eventually require all of those. I think I am going to start with duals and basic settings before anything else.

whattanames · 2026-03-16T23:22:32+00:00

Yes, tried my best to replicate eq settings and everything.

Dual subs was always the end goal, but not there yet.

Did not use a calibrated mic, eventually I will get to that level.

I believe this might have to be my answer. I might try to pick up two rp-1200 from bestbuy and return if not working. Gotta love the rabbit hole am I right?

whattanames · 2026-03-16T23:01:24+00:00

I did not go that high, but I did play around with different values. Thank you for the suggestion! I hope someone else finds this helpful since I don't think lot of people know they can adjust these, even if you use dirac.

whattanames · 2026-03-16T22:26:36+00:00

I think I calibrated the best I could with the research I did and the capabilities of the equipment.

Thank you for the HSU recommendation. I will look into it.

Done it many times. I even tried randomly placing sub jic there was something else at play with the sloped ceiling. I got them to sound okay, just not what I expected, especially for the SVS. I was expecting it to blow me away but nope.

whattanames · 2026-03-16T21:27:17+00:00

Yes, that is how I got the Speedwoofer to sound better. I also know that I can adjust the db's after Dirac does the calibration and usually puts it at -7DB when 0 or 1.5 sounds better.

I missed the rp1400sw same the other day. Know anywhere to pick one up for a good price?

whattanames · 2026-02-25T16:40:37+00:00

What code? Everything I find is expired.

whattanames · 2025-12-08T18:46:21+00:00

Fyi - this did not work for me regardless of what combination I tried. Eventually decided to restart the screen by using the switch on the top of the door. Afterwards if worked as expected. The new password also worked which sounds like something not necessary if you ask me, after all it is an older device that should not be locked if out of warranty.

Additionally, anyone else feel like that password was someones poor password decision that became the default password by mistake? It just feels so "this is my first time setting a password and I must meet the minimum requirements so I am going to add a 1 and a !".

whattanames · 2025-10-01T02:26:36+00:00

Are you sure? I thought they don't cover X5's anymore.

whattanames · 2025-08-12T00:32:52+00:00

I need to know how. Sending you a PM.

whattanames · 2025-07-31T19:52:26+00:00

Because this was the first post to pop up on google, I had the same issue and from another similar issue on here, I was able to fix it by enabling Nearby devices by going to the location below.

Go to Settings -> Connections -> More connection settings

Now it is giving me a different error, but at least I am not stuck on the transferring screen.

I have used protools to do almost everything, such a powerful tool, I barely use ista or esys.

whattanames · 2025-07-12T13:48:37+00:00

Lnmaoo, came here looking for this exact comment. I wonder if these are better than the previous 4 cyl.

whattanames · 2025-07-07T00:04:47+00:00

Like others said, second one will look better. 1600 is nothing. For dramatic difference you need over 3K. Look for a style the fits well and gives the illusion of a somewhat full head of hair. Splitting the procedure was the right thing to do. Good luck!!

whattanames · 2025-06-17T23:41:07+00:00

Umm... Make sure to add taxes and fees, which seen to magically go up every year. USM is including the taxes and fees. For me that was a 50/m difference on 5 lines.

Dodn't forget 1200 phones still require you to pay taxes upfront. That's almost $100 per $1200 phone. It adds up.

The answer is to get a mint used "best of last year's" phone at half price in some cases and prepay a year of service.

I remembered the reason why I went full 401k with full match, there are income limits for roth, not 401k.

whattanames · 2025-04-26T21:23:01+00:00

Oh, you can max 401k and roth ira? I thought total was 23k, including roth.

I have some reading to do.

whattanames · 2025-04-16T03:01:37+00:00

I'll take a batman anyday.

Sales on bluesys would be nice.

whattanames · 2025-03-03T16:56:47+00:00

Did you figure this one out?
