Hey. I currently have an active 40w RMS subwoofer with a 6.5" driver. When i go past half volume the driver excursion is over the limit and looks very unstable, which i believe is why it's distorting already at half the volume. I'm thinking it's the driver not being able to push more rather...

I have a little budget stereo system for my PC. Which gives me a lot better sound than a regular pc speaker set, but requires a rather tricky setup. It's a 2.0 stereo amplifier with speaker out for right and left channel only. The audio in is 2x RCA that goes to an 3,5mm Y-adapter. The other...

Exactly the answer I was looking for, very informative. Thank you sir! I will go with this method until my banana plugs arrives.

The plastic things do unscrew. Do i just wrap the wire around the screw and then screw back the plastic against the wire?

Haha, i knew this question was coming. I don't have a local dealer that sells banana plugs, and would have to order them online. Since it's soon the end of the week and the time it takes for them to arrive is about 2 days, it would be nice to try out my new amp a couple days while waiting for my...

Hello, a very stupid question I believe, but is there any way to connect bare speaker wire into an amp output that uses banana plug type? Such as this:

It's small Thomson speakers, only says the impedance on the back, nothing else. Yes I have a subwoofer and I can set the speakers to either "small" or "large" which has to do with low frequencies being passed to the sub.

I have a 6.1 home theater amp ( centrum titan 500 ) That's rated at 8 ohm. Would it work If I'd connect 5 speakers at 6 ohm each? Would that cause any strain or harm to my amp?

What makes it so dangerous to plug a powered speaker to an avr then?

Well, i'm not quite sure. This is how mine looks like

Excuse my stupidness, but what exactly is an AVR?

What's the worst thing that could happen? For example if the sub would be drawing more power than the outlet would allow, would that harm the sub or the amp, or would the outlet be the only that takes the damage?

On my home theater amp (Centrum Titan 500) i have a switced ac outlet. The outlet says ''Max 100W'' I was thinking powering my sub from there, so i dont have to power it off manually everytime i turn off the amp, since my sub doesn't have stand-by feature. My sub is a König hav-sw100 with 40W...
