Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Subwoofer boomy... what is the likely culprit?

I noticed that you mentioned that the speaker has two different inputs. I'm assuming that means one for the speaker and then an RCA connection for the LFE channel.

In any case, my old TrueSub in my office/game room was getting weird and boomy and seemingly oscillating sometimes. I noticed that the cable was bent at the connector and straighten it out somewhat, but it still was not quite right. Finally I pulled out the cable and the center pin stayed in the RCA female on the sub. Needless to say, I had to pull it apart, unsolder the RCA on the sub amp, get shocked by a cap, push the pin back through the RCA female and then resolder to connection on the amp.

It's back to perfectly tuned dinosaur foot fall, sub sonic perfection.

Try swapping the connection between the sub connections.
