Sub help with receiver

[audiobliss]

Hey, y'all

My friend is over now, and he brought his Miller & Kresel subwoofer, and I'm having some trouble hooking it up. In order to have it loud enough to be of any use, I have to turn my receiver up so loud it is unbearable. I can't find any features or settings for this. Help please!

Thanks!!!`

Typically most subs have a gain *volume* knob on the back to control the amplifier? Unless he has an ancient passive design that requires a seperate amp?

And bear in mind, it is M&K... ;)

Zero, thanks for the quick reply; I was beginning to think that nobody was going to respond. There is a nob on the back, and we have it turned all the way up.



And, what do you mean by 'it is M&K'??

well, it could be just a cross over knob. You can tell if there are little numbers all around it.. typically less than a value of 200.

M&K are the initials for Miller and Kresel.

On your receiver, there should be an option to turn the bass up by at least 10 db.

M&K aint exactly known for 'slamming'

And I cant imagine running them with Klipsch would show off their SPL abilities...

Good subwoofers though...

Yeah, we played with all the knobs on the back, and couldn't ever get much bass out of it. I made sure that the 'sub' was turned on in teh menu, and even turned it way up in the receiver menu. However, we could never get it to produce much of anything. Anyhoo, I don't guess I have to worry about that for a while as I don't forsee havin' enough money to get a sub any time soon.

Thanks.
