Hi all, I understand there is a Sub section, but i thought this subject would better fit here. Here is my problem. I can't get my new Sub working on anything, ie: Xbox360, DVD player, Computer, TV, etc... but I know it works because when I used the receivers auto setup it does sense the sub and it produces sound.



I have a Yamaha RX-V3800 Receiver with Energy C-Series Towers, Center and Surrounds. Today I just got myself a Quest 10" powered sub. Now with the speakers I have had these setup for over a year now using the YPAO Optimizer Mic, and today I did the same after plugging in the Quest Sub using a Digital Coaxial cable.


The sub has a both left and right channels on an input and an output. My digital coax cable is plugged into the left channel of the input and the other end into one of the subwoofer coax connection(black) on the receiver.


Like i said it worked during setup, and the receiver detects the sub on the front panel on devices like my dvd player, xbox360, but no bass.


It must be something in the settings I am missing. Please help someone.


Thanks,


Andy

Set speakers to small or you only get actual LFE from a true .1 source. Often times the source will only put out 2 channel. Even with a real .1 channel only true effects will come through, nothign constant.

hi, thanks for the reply. it worked, but kinda. there is bass coming from the sub now, but bass is now coming from all speakers also, way more than before, is there a way to just isolate it from all others speakers and just direct it to the sub? the bass coming from the sub is significantly less than the other speakers.

You have different settings for how the sub works. You must have it set for Mains+sub or something like that. If your speakers are set small, I see no way they would have more bass than the sub.


Does your sub have a volume control on it? Turn it up some. You still have to calibrate your channel levels, if you have auto cal., setting the sub to low is fairly common for such systems. I actually run my subs pretty darn hot, at least 3db on a spl meter above my other channels.
