Matrix Reloaded killed my subwoofer

[v3rrv3]

My sub has been dying for some time. By that I mean pops and such here and there, once a movie or so. But then I watched Matrix Reloaded and it did it all the time. My subwoofer crackled and popped more than a box of Rice Krispies

PS anyone have a good deal on sub?(Vipers yours is too expensive)

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

What sub and how much was it? How old is it?

 

[v3rrv3]

$50 dollar Philips 50w sub thats roughly 3-4 years old

Velodyne has some good subs. Try Sunfire also. I personally have a Klipsch sub (RSW-10), love that thing.

$50 not surprising

 

[v3rrv3]

I said I good deal, I don't have a ton of extra money atm. I can't spend like 500+

quizno's has kickass subs, but if theres not one in your area i suggest subway's chicken teriyaki sub with lots of hot peppers.

Look for some Yamaha subs then, I think you can pick up a decent one for about $150. It would definitely be an improvement over what you have right now. If I ever give an advise, this is one that you "should" listen to: invest in a good sub, it will be a compliment to any speakers.

i got a kick ass velodyne sub at Circuit City, CT-150 i think , it only cost me $450 or something like that and it is awsome. crystal clear lows down to 21hz and highs up to 150Hz so the crossever is good.

i highly reccomend it

oops i just saw your budget, nevermind then

 

[richardycc]

OUCH!

Velodyne makes good subs, i have not heard that model but i suggest you goto a store and listen to it.

heh, my SVS passed with flying colors. Plenty scenes that shook my room, . If you could, save up for one of those...

Check out the Athena Suba at best buy. I have the Athena AS P300. Tight bass, plenty of power and a good bang for the buck.

SVS subs are considered some of the best in the market bar none. HUGE BASS!

BTW, sounds like it could be an AC issue. Try a power condtioner/filter. IF that doesn't work, it could be your sub amp....or possible loose connection.........

I know KLH sucks, but they have decent 10" 100 watt subs at costco for $80. My non-audiophile ears cant even tell the difference between the KLH sub, and the DLS $100 wonder sub that they used to sell. My DLS actually blew up, unfortunately.

My parents have a velodyn CHT-12 I believe. It's quite nice.

My Logitech z-640's can put out a good amount of bass. I got mine used on the forums for $40. Check Hot Deals, maybe you can snag a good set for around that price. Or eBay.

Make your own if you're cheap.

I saw it last night, not the most demanding movie. The Haunting has some serious bass in it. There's another movie that I can't recall that was bottoming out a few subs when played at reference level.
