#98726 - 01/28/20 12:59 PM Thump in subwoofer
Prop Rider Deputy Gunslinger Registered: 06/03/06 Posts: 6 Loc: NY	I have the Outlaw LFM-1 Plus subwoofer connected to the 976 RCA Sub Out connector. With the 976 and the power amp in off mode I get a very noticeable thump out of the subwoofer every few hours or so. Any thoughts on what may be causing this?

That can sometimes cause that because the amp doesn't a strong enough signal and it shuts itself off. _________________________ Epson 3500 3D projector 93" Carl's Place Flexiwhite DIY screen Outlaw 976 Pre/Pro Outlaw 7500 for LCR & L/R surrounds 1- Emotiva Mini X-A100 for rear surrounds 2- Outlaw LFM-1 EX subs Oppo BDP-105 Blu-ray/DVD/SACD player Outlaw LCR (Snell Labs) for center channel duty Tekton Lore monitors L/R 4- Emotiva ERD-1s surround speakers Monster HTS3600MKII power center

There was enough of a ground offset that the sub would occasionally turn itself on producing a noticeable thump. Are your components on different circuits? Do you use a power conditioner? _________________________ 975/7075/SMS-1 Aperion Verus Grand Towers & Bookshelves, Verus Forte Center, Infinity Surrounds, Ultra-X12 Oppo BDP-203, XBOX360, Xbox One LG 65" OLED RR2150 w/Klipsch SCR-2
