Ok I need a little help, I have a VTF3 MK4 the settings are listed below. I was watching Cloverfield and started noticing a popping noise during a few scenes of the movie, could I be bottoming it out?
On Sub: Volume: 10 O'clock Phase: 0 Operating Mode: EQ2 with one port plugged Q Control: .45 Crossover set to: Off Reciever:RX-A710 Crossover set to:80Hz Volume set to: -10Db Thanks, Moneypit |

Hi moneypit,
Try setting Q = 0.3, and reduce the subwoofer channel level in 1dB increments to reduce the risk of pushing the driver past it's linear excursion limits. Are you using any Auto-EQ on the A/V receiver? Where are you sitting relative to front/side/back walls and relative to subwoofer? Thanks

Hi Moneypit,
Can you provide a diagram of your room, showing the listening position relative to front/side/back walls and relative to subwoofer? If you can list room dimensions too, that would be great. Thanks

Pete,
The sub is tucked in between the sofa and love seat used as an end table, not in the corner of the room as in the diagram. The rear of the sub/ports is pointed towards the wall three feet from it and the driver on the side is 4' from the front wall. http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/a...LivingRoom.jpg Last edited by Moneypit : January 11th, 2012 at 3:18 PM. |

Thanks Moneypit. Have you tried placing the subwoofer in that nearfield corner (keeping at least 2" of space between the driver and anything it fires into, and at least 4" of space between the ports and anything they fire into)?
This is a very large and open space to fill, no doubt! Sincerely,

MoneyPit:
You mentioned that your running the sub in maxExtension mode. Im thinking you are probably hearing the port "chuffing". A sub that bottoms out sounds like a clanking metal to metal sound. When a port "chuffs" its more of a popping noise. When you cut down on the amount of space that the air in the box can go in&out it can create turbulance. This is what happens at high volumes when only 1 port is open. Try setting your sub to EQ2 & have BOTH ports open. I bet you wont hear that popping. I was able to get my VTf-15h to "pop" in MaxExt mode. I was testing to see how high i could turn it up to. But in MaxOutput mode i cant get it to "chuff" OR bottom out. HSU subs are built exceptionally well. The only time they can misbehave is occasionally in MaxExtension mode. Its that port noise that happens before any bottoming out. I would almost always recommend their subs be set to MaxOutput because of this. So try that out & let us know what happens!! ![]()
