Little output from sub? - 09/17/03 09:39 PM
Hey all. I just finished building a vented sub enclosure for my Adire Shiva.
I have a 950/7100 combo. I connected the Sub output from the 950 to one of the unused channel on the 7100. I connected that to the Shiva, whose voice coils are wired in parallel (+ to + and - to -).
The thing is, I don't think I'm getting the output I should from it. When calibrating my speakers using the internal test tone, all of my speakers calibrate to 75db at -9db, give or take. Even when I crank the sub up to +10db, I don't hear more than a hum. I feel a rumble, but not nearly the output I'd expect at reference level.
To verify this, I tried the same thing with Avia's test DVD, and achieved the same result.
I have my mains set to "Small" and the Subwoofer set to "On" in the 950's menus.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
