Hi!i bought 2 cerwin vega vs 120 , and i bought a 5.1 amplifier (140watts/channel).. and it didnt gives me any bass... the bass wasnt deep..they work, i tried them before buying it.. so i was wondering do i have to buy a amplifier? I was thinking of the cerwin vega cv 900 !

Another question is and please i need a clear answer on this , i connect my 2 sv-120 to the amp , and i connect the amp to what?? (im noob i know)..

Can i just connecter this amp to my computer and play youtube trough it or connect my computer or connect my phone to it ? If someone could explain this to me id be so happy!

Seriously buying a 5.1 receiver for my sv-120 is useless.. bass doesnt work at all

What brand/model is your "amplifier"?

Hi. Before you go off and buy an amp, I have a question. When you set up the 5.1 receiver, did you make sure that the front speakers were set to "Large" and that it was operating in two-channel mode?

Btw, which receiver did you get?

 

[Nestor]

Check your connections. A common symptom of phase cancellations is lack of bass. Make sure each channel is wired pos-pos and neg-neg. between receiver output and speaker.

I plugged the 2 towers in the "front" thing and i dont have any othrr speakers and subwoofer so i think an amp would br better than a 5.1 receiver... its only for music on my computer its not for a home theater , only for some bass

 

[Adam]

The reason that I asked is because, if the receiver was set up so that bass wasn't sent to the front speakers, then that would explain why you find the bass so lacking. It's entirely possible that the receiver has plenty of power for those speakers.

Thing is i did try but nothing works, whats the difference between an amp and a receiver?for bass is it better a pioneer 5.1 or a cerwin vega cv 900?
