new subwoofer help

[giggsy1977]

You seem to be doing everything right so I'm not sure what else to suggest.

I would try the PEQ adjustments in the app for sure.

Nothing wrong with the sub (as far as I can tell from a pic), that's just the join where the vinyl wrap meets. On the bottom so not visible when the sub is in situ.

HI I DID CRAWL AGAIN 3RD TIME BUT THIS TIME IT WAS JUST RIGHT OF MY LEFT FRONT SPEAKER. Now the thing is that when i put sub in my siting position bass was good while was on floor but then wehn i was back at my chair bass was again not good. how is this possible? Should i put the sub on chair? i had been putting it on floor for crawl

 

[giggsy1977]

I would put the sub on the chair (I did).

Have you tried playing some music or a movie you know well and adjusting from there?

Be interesting and potentially useful to see what settings you have on the Denon. Eco mode, Dynamic Audio settings (can't remember the names off hand)

here. also tried front to 60hz 80hz and full its not blending well or bass is missing

The one that's titled Speakers/Distribution - what does that adjust (can't read the text at the bottom of that screen)?

Speakers/Crossovers needs changing from Full Range as the speakers aren't full range, and regardless of size of speakers, if you have a sub, they should be set to small.

Can't remember if Direct bypasses the sub for 2 channel music.

You have a very good multi-channel amplifier but are only using 2 channels?

What's the -20 value under Speakers/Distribution? The text at the bottom of that screen refers to the amount of LFE?

i guy suggested to set this -20db then i can run my dali opticon 2 as full range speakers as it will prevent blowing up of speakers on highs

 

[giggsy1977]

Hmm...don't know what he's on about there.

What does the text at the bottom of that page say?

this decreases lfe to front speakers

 

[giggsy1977]

I would have a play around with that and take your fronts out of full range

 

[hardcore_gamer29]

then set small

 

[giggsy1977]

I would set the Speakers/Distribution to the default Off.

Set your speakers to small.

The have a play around with the crossover, starting at 80hz and see if the sound fills out.

thnx for your time. denon x4800h has no small option its only full/40/60/70/90 hz

 

[giggsy1977]

I would try 70 and then 90 and see which sounds best to you

 

[hardcore_gamer29]

So should i use lfe only or lfe mains and cross at 70

 

[giggsy1977]

LFE only but try both!

 

[giggsy1977]

Try 70 and try 90hz. See which you prefer

 

[hardcore_gamer29]

Of you're serious about getting the optimal performance out of your system then it's a good idea.

Have any of the changes you've made had any effect?
