My velodyne subwoofer sounds like a fog horn ...what do i do?

Question

i already checked the fuse..it was not blown. the speaker is not ripped either!!

Answer 1

Check you wires, some times this can be the problem...of not stop playing CD's of Fog horns.

Answer 2

Not much info to go on so I'll just assume that you might be making the subwoofer play mid to upper frequencies rather than low 80Hz and below.

You need a crossover network on your amp or a dedicated subwoofer speaker wire connect to correct for this. Not sure how you're set up.

Answer 3

It MIGHT also be speaker placement too...

Why don't you SET your subwoofer crossover setting to 120 up to 200 hz first....then listen.

And then if it still sounds like a foghorn, set it up on something HARD for testing it first...like your wooden coffee table...if it still sounds foggy, then you should have it checked by the manufacturer....NOT the local Fix-it shop unless there is a CLEAR CUT failure....

You need the manufacturer to deal with your problem especially when you need the acoustics measured up against a STANDARD reference to see what is bad.....

And believe me...there's a lot that can go wrong with a subwoofer besides ripping....

Answer 4

well theirs many different answers
