JBL HT1Fs, Gramps to the rescue

[peuga]

The surrounds and right channels were playing similarly intensive bass, obviously the right was playing the same, but they didn't

 

[peuga]

The track was very much pure bass, with very little sound of things flying around during an explosion or anything

 

[lovinthehd]

Probably just pushing those poor little speakers past their limits....

They still have limits...

Yeah, but it was on 0 db, and i personally don't think it was loud enough to overpowers even the small ones, sure, the bass was way more intense, and if the small ones were to play that, they would probly be flying around, but still

I did meth, and made the equal sides triangle for the fronts, does this look right?, If i mount the tv to the wall, and pull the sofa backwards, would mounting to the wall be feasible?

The wall are literally just out of frame

 

[peuga]

Humn, yeah, there, you can hear the pop

Those drivers look like they're trying to move a lot more than 70 hz worth of air... isn't that pretty loud?

that was -5db, and it was confortable to stay right besides it,

 

[peuga]

also, i set the crossover to 100

 

[peuga]

Also, the right one is fine

Well... -5 on my dial is getting into earbleed levels, but I'm all dialed in for "reference" at 0 with Audyssey. That's really loud for movies, and very very loud for some music. An spl meter would tell us a little more. If you have a smart phone you can find one in whatever market or app store you use for free. They're not the most accurate thing you can use but can get you in the ballpark. That's give us a better idea of the volumes you're hitting.

Just going by the video, I know that by the time my 5 1/2" drivers are moving as much as yours with a 80 hz crossover it's really loud. Are you using a subwoofer right now? How did you set the crossover? It could be too, that your amp is clipping.

No there's no sub, but it's on in the setup config, the crossover is set to 100, and for reference, -10db on the levels noise test, shows as 72db

Also, only that left speaker is popping, so probly not the amp, the right one is totally fine

You might be right. I'm still curious to see how loud it really is when you have it cranked up to reference with an actual spl reading tho. Do you have a smart phone you could get a spl app with? Or do you have a meter already?

 

[Pogre]

With the right music I can hit almost 100 dB peaks at my seat with my volume at 0, and I sit 15' (about 4.5 meters) from my speakers.

That stereo tho

 

[Pogre]

That stereo tho

Yes, that's stereo. It gets pretty fracking loud with movies too tho. Reference for movies is 85 dB, with room for 105 db peaks. Depending on how far you sit (did you say 9 or 10 feet?) that can be a lot to ask from your amp.

PS, not ruling out an issue with the speaker either. You might be right. I'm just tryna figure out how loud it is where you hear the pop.

I'll check, and my front are around 3 metters from the sitting position
