Def Tec CS 9080

[Mcagsta]

Hi guys, Does anyone know what the RMS is on the Def Tec CS 9080 or have any measurements on it or know if it’s able to play above reference levels say somewhere around 90 DB? The Reason I ask is I started with the cs 8040 witch gave me a lot of port noise at high volume for ht and music. So I upgraded to the cs 9060 witch was better no port noise for ht but get a lot with music. Was wondering if I upgraded to the cs 9080 would resolve my problem for music? I currently have the 9060 at 80 hz bass knob at 25 % and test tone levels at -10 DB. Also have L/R Def Tec Bp 8020 st with 3 SVS pb 2000 A/V Marantz 5010R. Any help would be much appreciated thanks.

Did you try raising the crossover to 90hz?

I did snakeeyes. I started with 40 hz to 100 hz. 80 sounded the best

I would consider the larger center if you are beyond the current ones capabilities. (Assuming it isn’t damaged etc)

Be sure to be able to return it if it doesn’t meet your expectations.

The BP9080’s –3dB point is at 27 Hz, and the –6dB point is at 24 Hz.

The BP9060’s –3dB point is at 32 Hz, and the –6dB point is at 29 Hz.

Doesn't seem like that much difference.

Since you have 3 Subs, maybe decrease the Sub volume from 25% to 20% or 15% or set the speaker size to SMALL.

You are not getting "port noise" from the def techs! They don't have ports, they have passive radiators.

Something else is going on here!

Radiator noise?

Clearly somethings wrong. I feel like I’m over driving the bass radiator or mid,s.lol some how because when I hook them up to my Sonos they work perfectly fine no noise perfect bass. So as of right now I have it set to small, crossover at 200 hz

Contact Def Tech. That sounds like the speaker is damaged.
