Hi Euro,
I, for one, do not need medication to misspell, although the idea is appealing HAHA!
Relax, heal slowly and listen to music!
My sub is 95db efficient and supposedly handles 600WattsRMS /1000Watts peak. I measure outout with the prescibed R/Shack meter (C weighted/slow response) at the seated position 15 feet from the sub which at this stage is corner loaded in a 23x 14 room that is loaded with typically cohabitant family stuff. Baskets and wife s..t everywhere, you guys get the picture i'm sure! Took me hours to stop all this crap from rattling and messing with my sound ! (Hooray for bluetac!)
This is a very high quality, and expensive, Pro driver from Kenwood, professionally assembled in a ported enclosure, but I doubt very much it would handle 600 Watts. I have in the past attended a Kenwood demo and heard this sub really crank at surprising levels, so in retrospect perhaps the design is off the mark ! Hmmmmmmm - never considered that !
I previously drove it with one of Madisounds pitiful sub amps, but my output now is actually no more than then !
My own take on my problem is that the eventuating LFE line output voltage at the Adcoms input is just not nominal. I have the ICBM between the 950 and 755 with the LFE from the ICBM running to the Adcom.
I do however, have the ICBM switched to special (36db slope), and have not tried the 12db normal setting, as I hate midbass creeping into a subs channel, but maybe I should try this !
