Denon AVR-1909 Subwoofer problem (1 Viewer)

[Sequoia93]

So I'm relatively new to home theater systems and recently built a sort of Frankenstein 7.2 system with a Denon 1909. But, recently the subwoofers havent been powering on unless the volume is turned up loud enough, sometimes switching on and off in between songs, or even turning on in the middle of a song. Everything was working fine originally and I can only imagine some setting I haven't figured out yet is causing it. Does anyone have any ideas?

Without knowing which subs you got...
Nope.

The receiver is the problem as far as I can tell, it's not sending signal to either subwoofers consistently. Also, the subwoofers are completely different brands but turn on/off at the same times. Regardless I'll add the subwoofer models tonight when I'm home.

Typically if the auto on/off of a subwoofer isn't working correctly(and "we" had no way of knowing different brands here)...
The gain on the sub is too high, which means the gain from the AVR is too low.
