Yeah, it'll be at night, but I was saying It's always dark back there because waiting until sun completely sets isn't an issue. What is an issue is it's under my 10x12 pergola and I'm not sure where the cross members will cause a shadow so throw might be important... I got my fire table and...

I'm sure this gets asked a lot, but I find all the projector information really confusing and don't want to spend a couple grand to have a crap experience. All I really want is a decent projector and screen for outside on my patio occasionally. I don't need speakers, I don't need a media player...

So, I didn't mean to drop off earth, I haven't done the setup yet because I still have 2 speakers to install and am not until my floors get redone and I take off the baseboards. The job keeps getting pushed back. I did decide to just use the Polk Downstairs once that's done anyway, so thanks...

And it's actually a PSW350, I've been checking the wrong model this whole time. Sorry.

Sounds like what I'm hearing here is to tell my wife something's wrong with it and buy an SVS.... :) The sub is easily over 20 years old

Definitely coming from the polk, I've plugged the polk's cable (2) into the Velodyne and I get the same note as with cable 1. That's why I thought maybe it isn't playing what it should. Sounds like you think the Polk is actually playing what it shouldn't?

The receiver is only "supposed" to be sending to that channel. I can listen at each speaker and make sure it's not just messed up in sending signals. Let me get back to you.

Ok so I got both subs set to the same setting and speakers set to small. Here’s the difference I’m talking about. First is velodyne second is Polk. It’s like the same tone but so much lower and less clear. Is it just different cones?

Well, I'm looking to not use both in the end. I just threw the polk one on because I really didn't want to clear basement space for it. I'm just trying to figure out when the one doesn't play the same tones as the other when both are on the direct setting. I'm leaning towards the crossover in...

Related question about small speaker setting.... Won't that affect stereo playback where the sub isn't used for music?

This still doesn’t explain the difference even in range on the 2 subs. I can upload a sound sample when I get a sec later.

That’s why what I think is wrong is the crossover on the sub is jacked up. It’s only getting the lowest of the notes even when the crossover is set to direct/off.

Thanks they are both hooked in the LFE and on direct/ LFE setting. The speakers are set to large. I’ve set the speaker distances to the approx distance from seating area. I’ve swapped the inputs and cable to ensure it’s not the cable or input sending a different signal to each but the Polk...

I have an old Velodyne DPS-12 sub and a Polk 10 inch I think is a PSW-10, I know using them both doesn't make sense, but I had the extra and didn't want to put it in storage. I've now updated my system to a new Klipsch RP-8060FA with 502s and 600s for the rear. My receiver is a Denon avrx3700h...
