    Bass through speakers

    I've got a pair of 70W Pioneer speakers and I've been curious of if I could hook them up to the left and right channels(35W) and split the sub channel(60W) to them also. In my head theoretically if I were to do this each speaker could receive 65W but I'm not sure how it actually works.

    Sansui 990DB with weak bass...filter caps?

    Greetings, fellow AK'ers, I have a Sansui 990DB that I have been slowly revitalizing over the past couple of years. Overall the unit is in great shape with clear, balanced sound out of both channels, but the bass leaves a lot to be desired. No matter what speakers I've connected it to, the bass...

    Passive subwoofer vs. Active subwoofer

    Hi, I have a budget of $100 and I'm wanting to add some bass to my PC setup. I'm trying to decide whether I should go for a used passive subwoofer, or a used active one. The idea of a passive subwoofer really appeals to me because of the flexibility. With an active sub, I would be limited to the...

    Polk LSi7, Big Sound, Little Box, High WAF.

    I had to get some music in the living room a few years ago. It had to sound good. It had to have high WAF (wife acceptance factor). I heard good things about these Polk LSi7's. A pair showed up on shopgoodwill and I landed them for about $200.00 which is about what they are worth. Since...

    Weird recurring problem

    Wonder if anyone knows what might be causing this. I've got a problem with the bass dropping out in the right channel. Only happens when listening to records so I don't think it's the amp or speakers. Turntable is a vintage Rega Planar 2 with an Audio Origami rewired Rb250, Shelter 201...

    Is the KLH Model 6 short on bass?

    I picked up a pair of these from a guy on CL last night. These are early run models -- serial numbers in the 20,000s -- and so the grill and everything else is glued down. They sounded a little bass shy in his place, but I thought it could be the fact that he had them on stands, the amp was...
