==================================
To sir newbie pa rin, here are my observations for Klipsch RW-10:
- Pinakamalakas ang sub output pag line-level connection, using 2 inputs (left and right) ang gamit; mahina pag isa lang ang input (left OR right) or pag sa LFE Direct lang ang connection.
- Gumagana ang sub crossover adjustment pag nasa line-level or speaker-level connection; bypassed ang crossover ng sub pag nasa LFE Direct connection.
DVD for crossover adjustment:
- When my sub x-over is set at around 60hz to match the x-over of the other speakers (60 hz), malakas pa rin ang "gapang" ng sub, pero nawawala ang "punch". Ang test disc ko ng "punch" ay War of the Worlds. Lumilitaw ang puwersa ng "punch" sa chap. 5 (time = 20:49 to 25:10) pag above 100hz ang x-over AND using line-level inputs.
DVD for volume adjustment:
- Star Wars Episode III (Revenge of the Sith), chap. 2. Use the bass of the Star Destroyer's sound effect. The chapter starts with the Coruscant sun, then shows a slowly-moving Star Destroyer. The sound is not a clean bass, but is supposed to be a rough, rumbling sound. Sobrang lakas ng hangin na lalabas sa RW-10 port, parang hangin ng aircon. If volume is too high, you will get excessive wind turbulence from the sub's port.
Volume adjustment - Start at around 8 o'clock, then increase to get the highest possible volume without turbulence. Never turn the volume dial all the way down to zero (6 o'clock). Ewan ko kung bakit, pero sa unit ko, pag sumagad sa 6 o'clock, may malakas na tunog, parang masisira ang unit.
