Setup:
Rocket 550 L/R - Bigfoot Center
Pioneer VSX-84TXSi
SVS PB12
Playstation 3
Toshiba HD-DVD
This will probably sound strange (and very noobish) - but the other day I was listening to a CD (on the HD dvd player) and it seemed there was no bass coming from my sub. I touched the cone and sure enough it was not moving at all. So then I tried an HD-DVD movie and even when the receiver showed LFE the sub wasn't moving. Crap - my sub is blown. I tried unplugging it - messed with the gain (which was already at about 65%). Then I tried the PS3 on a music CD (I don't own any BD movies yet) and I got some bass, but still very anemic. Tried messing with the MCACC setting on the sub channel and got the normal rumble I would expect. But none of my sources seem to produce any bass anymore. Is there some 100% test I could do to see what the problem is. I am wondering if I have just gotten used to it, but I remember when I first got the sub it would rattle the ceiling fan on big scenes and I definitely don't feel anything like that anymore. Thanks for any help.
