Subwoofer boom is too much for me...


Could I tone down the boom on my subwoofer by plugging the port with something like a washcloth?  Have you ever tried this and had success?

Thanks for your thoughts.

I may have missed it in the video but where did they say that bass management for the LFE channel is different than managing bass for two channel stereo?

They recommend 4 subs, how many do you have? How are they placed?

Glad to see you are studying up on the topic though.

I think we (Agon posters) should start the new year on a higher note (😉). So often , answers to an OP’s question are used simply as a vehicle for expressing all that we think we know about a topic without addressing the most obvious and easiest things that should be part of the dialogue with the OP. Only a relatively small percentage of the respondents have asked of the OP, if only in an indirect way, the obvious questions/suggestions: “Have you tried lowering the output level of your sub?”, “If so, what was the result?”, Have you tried lowering the XOVER frequency?”, “If so, what was the result?”. So, OP, what say you?

should start the new year on a LOWER note= subwoofer thread 😁

 

Not to sound dumb but how much does source material impact subwoofer settings.. The difference in bass from cd to cd and even vinyl to vinyl often has me running to my subs…
