Hey people:
I was playing a 20hz wav sound file which was looping on win media player on my SB12+, mainly just to see if the sub has useable output at 20hz, as it was stated +/-3 db at 22hz.
I currently have gain at 11 oclock, sub -5db, room eq to Medium (though in a small room, i set Med because sub is not in a corner) and as soon as I play the 20hz tune at -15db on my onkyo 705 the subwoofer makes a popping noise, kind of like a big raspberry, when i took off the grill the driver was popping in and out wildly.
Also after the popping, the sub suddenly goes dead then reactivates, at which point I hurriedly turn down the volume, -16db is fine, the extra little 1 db makes the sub cut out.
What is happening? Did I do any damage with my little testing?
