Real 12s speedwoofer

[Aust11n]

Hello just purchased a rsl 12s speedwoofer I have a pioneer vsx-lx505 receiver and it sounds like poop to be honest not getting any power out of it. I have a cheap klipsch 12 sub from Costco that was 200 bucks and this thing was 800 but my old klipsch is hitting wayyyyyyy harder then this supposedly high power sub what am I doing wrong because it has to be user error with how big and heavy this thing is. Like this can’t be the true sound I’m hearing because I will be paying 150 return fee if that’s the case

Can't imagine why you're thinking the Klipsch sub is better unless you just like the poorer performance of the Klipsch? Did you set up the sub in the avr for the new sub or are using the previous sub's setup? Provide all details of settings/setup for sub/avr might help.

No idea what you are doing wrong, but you are doing something idiotic or you have a faulty unit.

This thing should be rattling walls when cranked right?

I’m going to be returning this pioneer elite receiver and getting a denon 2800.

Yes I have the 10E and I run it about 30% volume in my medium sized room so it doesn’t rattle the old windows. There is definitely something wrong with the setup or the unit.

What does the avr have to do with it particularly?

Yea I’m turning this this all the way up and not getting any sort of house hold rattling now it it it putting off some bass but nothing like I was hoping to hear. How do I determine if it’s faulty speaker

Not really user friendly and can’t make precise adjustments and and doesn’t even seem to let me pick what I want to set it as so going to a denon

How do I determine if it’s a faulty unit? What’s my best approach towards rsl if it’s the new unit I ordered. It did come from Cali to Florida so it had to go A long way but the box arrived basically undamaged and everything was tight and secure when unpacking

A good start would be to use the test tones in the speaker set up menu.
