Hello,

i just accuired a Phase Tech Octave 1.0 15 inch sub. I am having real hard time finding any info about it. I went to their website and can't find any info on there as well. Does anyone have any info about this sub?

Thank you

I'm just so hurt that you went to AVS first. :( :D :D

J/K. Let me see if I can track down something for you.

A list of sub specs is here, with that sub listed a bit down on the page.

I haven't found anything else, yet.

No owners manual. I went ahead and sent an email to Phase Technology to see if they can supply one.

Ok i have been doing some testing on the sub and now i am a bit confused. I am upgrading from a velodyne vx-10. I played some parts from Kungfu Panda. I played the begining scene and the "skidoosh" scene. Ok now with the vx-10 the skidoosh scene had bass to it. When i played that scene on the phase tech it was alot quieter. My wife was like what happened, she said it was a dud. I played the same scene on a Element 12 inch sub from CC a few weeks ago and it shook the couch. Now the opening fight scene sounded great on the phase tech. I think i might have a input problem and need to play with some settings. Also another thing i noticed was when playing PS3 the sub shut down. I looked at the amp and the light was still on but no sound, wonder if it isn't getting enough signal. I have the level at +3. The amp felt hot. I lowered the signal down to +2.5 and set the sub volume to 11 position. I really need to get the user manual. I have the receiver set to "small" and the x-over set to 80. I had the sub set to 100 on the x=over but it sounds better setting it to match at 80. I will play around some more with it.

Ok i think i got things working better now. I pulled the sub a little further from the wall and it is running alot cooler. I also turned the sub volume to about 11 and lowered the gain to +2.5. Everything seems to be alot better, no mor shutting down. I ran a few dvds such as U-571 and the newest Hulk and there were no problems. The whole couch shooks during the "depth charge" scene in U-571 and the part in the Hulk where they had the sonic ray gun thing :)
