User questions & answers

Question:	What in your opinion is the best power setting for normal use, "on" or "auto" for this unit
Answer:	I would say depends if you use the item everyday/constantly as your sound for your surround. Or if you use surround/theater occasionally. If the latter I would use `on/off` , if you use it often or primarily the auto would be the way to go in my opinion. Plus is the sub easy to get to? Auto is great if its behind furniture or out of reach,etc.
Question:	Does this speaker have a volume control? Thanks
Answer:	Just to clarify something a previous reviewer stated: "Note: If you are using a Sub out/LFE connection from your receiver turn the Low Pass all the way up. " This does not apply to receivers with which you can specify the low-pass cutover frequency. For example, my modest Onkyo receiver has cutover settings of 80/100/120 HZ for the LFE/Sub output. If you have this option, you should consult your main speaker's manual for suggested low-pass settings or simply tune them by ear. For my setup, 120 HZ was both the recommended and best-sounding cutover frequency. 160 HZ was a little muddy :)
Question:	Can this sub be added to a Vizio 2.0 sound bar, for small to medium-sized HDTV's? If not, what should I get? For TV/Games/Music
Answer:	Like John, I too have a Vizio 2.0 sound bar and this pairs very well. I have a small theater room (10 x 20) and this one 10" fills the room. This sub is the best bang for the buck you can get.
Question:	Do I need a Y-adpater? A sound tech told me one sub wire would do the trick and just plug it into the L and ignore the R. Is this true
Answer:	Initially, used a one wire connection. Sounded OK, but .... Got a "Y" connector, attached at the rear of the amp, ran L & R wires to the PSW10: sounds amazing now and very adjustable. Need to get the PSW12 to get a one wire connection. Am very satisfied with this sub and would recommend it. Used in a 12' X 20' room, front/back/center and now the sub. Tom

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this speaker have a latency problem? Where sound doesn't lip sync with people speaking on screen
Answer:	There's a reason for that and it isn't because you're not using enough polishing cream or not using a rough enough sandpaper. Despite the machine's claims it's up to the task, it does a terrible job of removing deep cuts, light scratches it gets the job done sometimes, but with deep scratches you run the risk of making the scratch even worse and not able to fix it if you use the more rough sandpaper pad. This also creates another problem as if you put the disk through too many polishing cycles on the machine, you could unintentionally damage the label. If it has to be done I would rather substitute the polish liquid a top quality 3M polish cream than risk it with the rough sandpaper the machine came with.
Question:	It is possible to add this bass module to acoustimass 10 for more bass
Answer:	GameCube games can be cleaned if you buy the additional part. Also works great on deep scratches and even removing the infamous 360 burn rings. I've cleaned over 1000 discs and only 1 failure to work afterwards.
Question:	is the soundtouch 300 bass module compatible with the sound bar
Answer:	It is the Easy Pro Plus. As a small Public Library, this suits our purposes. There is no need, at least for us, to do several DVD or CD cleaning at once. We have been able to buff out some issues that may have required a replacement and others are just plain old cleaning issues. We are pleased with the machine.
Question:	Will this pair with a Bose 𝗣𝗿𝗼 s
Answer:	Here is an excerpt the JFJ Easy Pro + instructions. "When repairing GameCube games or any other mini CD's you will need to purchase a smaller metal plate, shorter white buffing pads (completely white with one side Velcro). Note: Please do not use the sanding, and the buffing pads that originally came with the machine, otherwise, the pads will be ruined." My personal note. Get a water spritzer and keep the pads and the disc that you are repairing wet. Use short spin times and open the machine to check the progress and re-wet the discs. In my experience you need to wipe the sanding residue off the sanding pads after each 10 second spin, then re-wet and spin for another 10 seconds. Never use more than 10 seconds with the sanding discs! In my opinion you can't use to much water. Keep a sponge handy to pick up the water that collects and to wipe the sanding discs clean. I use the machine on the kitchen counter so that the sink is handy where I can rinse and squeeze out the sponge. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Question:	What's the rms

I also have an Orion Xtr 2500.1, but my subs are American Bass XR 12's and it's makes serious sound pressure in a ported box. I'm pushing the subs to the max and still no damages at all after 2-3 years of knocking my rear view mirror off the windshield.

User questions & answers

Question:	If im running these dual, what size amp should i get
Answer:	The PEQ controls bass levels when using certain Rockford Fosgate amps. Rockford Fosgate makes other volume knobs to work with their different amps. You can use any brand speaker.
Question:	Is this a dual 2 ohm sub
Answer:	I do not know about the P8002, but people need to be aware that this device has an RJ45 (Ethernet) jack, and NOT a RJ11 (Phone). it is misleading that this works with "2007 and up" amps, it does NOT work with all 2007 and up RF amps. I bought this due to bad info in the comment section and wanted to clear this up.
Question:	What Does The Box need to be tuned too for this sub
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Will 8 gauge wire fit in the wire terminal for the elite
Answer:	This plugs into certain Rockford amps. It is basically a bass booster that can add a range of 0-18db of boost centered at 45hz. It is useful to help fine tune your system 's performance.
