You guys are
totally missing the point. Yes, the set was $30; no, I did NOT expect anything good--refer to my original post, which states that I bought them because they matched my setup. Of course they're going to suck. I didn't buy them for that though. I use Sennheiser headphones with my Audigy 2 ZS when I want quality. I'm not claiming false advertisement. Maybe my thread title was a stretch. I was surprised to find something other than a cheap 8" woofer when I opened up the sub enclosure, hence the "dirty secret". No, Logitech never claimed that the Z340's to have an 8" sub, but I also reported that in another post.
So you wasted a speaker from a perfect 6.1 on this? The logitech website says that only 25watts is going to the sub..... Is that whats powering it?
If you are going to complain so much about speakers, why didnt you spend more money on quality ones? WTF do you expect for $30?
No, I didn't waste a speaker from a Perfect 6.1 set. The speaker, which is damaged, has been sitting around for about a year. The set belonged to my girlfriend. I didn't have the time to install the speakers, so she had the only local car audio shop install them. The idiots installed the speakers very poorly. We could hear terrible noises at anything beyond about 35% volume. I told her to go back and have them to fix it. They said they didn't know what was wrong.
I ended up fixing it myself. When I opened the door, I found that they hadn't made enough space for the new woofers, so the surrounds were hitting the factory grills in the doors, even at moderate volumes. By that time, though, the speakers had already suffered permanent damage. The surrounds had worn thin (which shouldn't affect sound quality), but the main problem was a popping noise had developed.
She ordered two new woofers from Infinity (not the entire set). No more problems.
I put one of the damaged woofers in her old Altec Lansing 2.1 system that had a blown 6.5" sub. The popping noise sucks, but the system sounds a
lot better than it did with a blown woofer.
So, yea, only 25W is powering the other damaged Perfect 6.1 in my Logitech Z340's. The popping is still present with that small amount of power, but it's not nearly as bad as it sounded when the speaker was hooked up to a 4x100W RMS car amp. In conclusion, the damaged speaker is being put to use instead of being trashed. It's difficult to throw away a speaker from a $300 set of components.
The sound quality of my Z340's is still much improved over the Logitech Z340 sub despite the damaged Perfect 6.1 woofer. The SQ is nothing compared to a fully functional Perfect 6.1 woofer though.
