Just got a DSW Micropro 1000 for my 2 channel system and am hooked up using my Musical Fidelity A1 pre-outs to the line level inputs on the sub. Unfortuately, the MF pre-outs don't have sufficent signal strength to drive the Micropro 1000 to any useful SPL levels. Even at full throttle (volume 40) I am lucky to sqeak out an SPL level of 65 -70. Once I initally set it up and set the volume to 30 out of 40 I used the mute and noticed it didn't sound much different when it was muted. I then disconnected my speaker cables so I could get some SPL readings on just the sub. Low.... I then moved the sub to my HT system and it worked just fine putting out prodigious bass for its size. Guess I can't blame Polk since the sub works, just doesn't work for my gear. I bought it from Newegg (Authorized dealer) but I think I can only return it for a replacement, not a refund. I either got a new doorstop :mad: or a second sub for my HT :D Am I missing anything here?
