Re: ringing out
Thanks. I shouldn't have relied on my faulty memory, but checked it out much longer in advance, in case I needed to order a new driver. I got lucky. 24", 3015LF. It fits in my Toyota Matrix's hatchback with room to spare, AND close the hatch. A T-60 is about 4" too long to do so, even with...

Re: ringing out
Despite not having set up for about 3-4 years, it finally all went off well. It was a memorial / celebration of life for a close friend's elderly mother who passed. She held it at the local park district's field house, a small room about 30x30, maybe 8' ceiling. Me friend gave me a list of a dozen a...

Yeah, I meant my DEQ. Why couldn't you read my mind?

Re: ringing out
Actually, they measured ONE ohm across the terminals, which confused the hell out of me. Then I hooked them up in parallel, and they read the same, which DOUBLE confused me. They're 6, 8 ohm mids: 3 in parallel, then those two groups of three in series.

Re: ringing out
Oh, crap- you're right- that's in the Behringer! Thanks, I would have been looking for that in the Crown day of!! It's been a minute or 20 since I've set up the whole rig.

ringing out
I'll be supplying sound for a memorial service next week, and am dusting off the equipment. I have three amps to choose from to use: Crown Xti4000 (650w x 2 @8; 1200 x 2 @ 4) https://manualzz.com/doc/2037217/crown-audio-xti-4000-stereo-amplifier-user-manual Ashley FTX 2001 (300w x 2 @ 8; 500w x 2 @ ...

Re: pre-amp advice
Run the tests again with a clean 60Hz sine wave. Both scenarios, with and without the pre amp. Test device output voltage and amplifier output voltage and post the results. https://onlinetonegenerator.com/ I get 0.1v coming out of the PC line out without the pre-amp 1.0v WITH the pre-amp 27v coming...

Re: pre-amp advice
Ok, got the headphone amp / preamp / DAC in and hooked up. Playing the same *downloaded* video through the GOM player, I get ~1.1v out of the PC output, and about 74 (!) volts out of the XTi. At 1600 watts at 2 ohm, it SHOULD be making about 54 volts, so I don't know how it's making 74. The yellow a...

Re: pre-amp advice
I'm leaning towards your pc settings as the issue. Are you connected to the green "line out"? Try connecting your phone or ipod to the amp and see what happens. I did have the line connected to the green line out. I downloaded the same youtube sine sweep from the other day, but when playe...

Re: pre-amp advice
I'll have to check on the green output when I get home from work tomorrow. Yes, the PC gain, YouTube gain, and amp gains were all maxed out. What I just thought of is downloading the same video, then playing it locally through my GOM player. It's a weird little app: it has two volume settings, like ...

Re: pre-amp advice
I use my PC because I don't have a receiver. Between the CD player on my old PC, mp3s, YouTube, and downloaded movies, it's been meeting my needs quite acceptably, other than the reduced output into the bass shaker. It's BEEN in a 4'x4' purpose built platform until now; I've taken it out to see why ...

pre-amp advice
While trying to re-integrate my Buttkicker bass shaker into my home stereo, it seemed at first not to work. I use my el cheapo Best Buy PC as a source into my Crown XTi 4000. I slowly turned up the volume, yet was getting nothing out of it. Digging through the settings, I found one channel attenuate...
