I have one more question. Why is it that the amp did not seem underpowered when the pairs of speakers were plugged in without the filters? The sats I have are now high-passed at 300 Hz, and the amp didn't seem to stress to play them alone, no crossover, no subs. The volume knob rested at 1/10...

Thank you, Sonic Illusions. I have considered buying another amp for a pair of speakers, and I most likely will in the future. This is some good information. I'd like to know if you have any pages you could link to explain the purpose of L-pad attenuators to a layman? I've been looking for some...

Thank you, the phase was definitely an issue. I've now set up the system as shown in the picture, but with the polarity reversed 180 for the satellites. How would I incorporate a way of turning down the subs? I want a pair of lone volume knobs. I think the subs are naturally way louder than the...

Thanks, Sonic Illusions. I am confused by this piece: This means that no negative wire runs through the filter? I just route the positive wire through and it's good? I assumed to hook up the negative on each side because the crossover has two pairs of terminals, labeled + and -. You are also...

These are some really good responses, I always appreciate it. I believe I've had the satellites and the subs wired in parallel, with the filters wired properly in series, but the low-pass still affected the satellite. I'll rewire again according to what you're saying and see if I can get it...

Are crossover filters intended to affect the signal on the whole circuit, or just part of it? I've got this low-pass filter on my subwoofer, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to wire this woofer in series without filtering the highs out of the signal.

Thanks chief that's probably as good as it gets!

Simple question. I've been looking around for a tool to help me visually evaluate the effects of filters. I'd like to see where bumps in volume arise when combining, for example, a signal low-passed at -6dB/octave at some x-off with a high-passed signal of -12dB/octave at a different x-off. Is...

I'm in uni bro the router is not in question :/

Thanks for the reply, but my issue is to do with Windows 10 "Internet Connection Sharing." As in I have no ethernet access or wifi access on my pc. I use the laptop's connection to access the internet. The laptop works well, but the pc does not. I'm not sure what is throttling the flow from the...

I've got a laptop with wi-fi that gets about 50-60 Mb/s download. Using an ethernet cable, I've connected it to a desktop PC. I enabled Internet Connection Sharing to use the PC, but I only get about 5-6 Mb/s. Does anyone have experience with these things? I have tried many things to improve the...

Thank you Sonic Illusions! It's a lot of help. These Technics are quite old, dual sided speakers built shortly after the conception of the THX standard. I'll reconsider where to set the high-pass cutoff. Thanks for the warning, I've been using the Technics for about a month and the amp never...

I am new to configuring hardware. I recently purchased an old JVC AX-R97 165W amp, a pair of Technics SB-TS100 speakers, and a pair of NHT SWS2i subwoofers. The Technics sound great on their own. When I plugged in the subwoofers, it all sounded fine, except for the fact that the subs go up to...
