[QUOTE="Savant, post: 128688, member: 546108"] Not sure what you have access to or if you can run your computer speakers to a stereo..but I just ran my speaker outs on the comp to my stereo.. Fired up WinISD Pro, and am running the signal generator.. at 10 Hz.. you should see those cones MOVE!!! Pretty d a m n nice.. I can actaully hear it if my ears are within 4 inches or so.. I have one question though (for Jmac).. I ran them up to the point that there was a VERY faint ticking .. like an electrical arc of TINY amounts.. not hearing anything that sounds like bottoming out.. I turn it up a little more and it gets a tiny bit noisy, then I seem to hit some kind of resonance and as I turn it up a bit more it's perfectly quiet (execpt the 10 Hz sound [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] ).. should I run below that 'noisy' part? or just above it where it sounds like it's floating (still no bottoming out it seems).. if I turn it up past that float point (just a tad) it seems to bottom out.. so, is under the float better? or should I pass that little noisy area and float it just before bottom out? Just don't want to break anything.. but 'as loud as can without bottom out' seems to be the thing.. just not sure how exacting that is supposed to be [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] EDIT: Float is probably the wrong word.. I mean they make no nois other than the 10 hz sound, the slight electrical tick goes away too.. Float would be almost no movement.. they are moving a ton.. just over that point they start to tick (presuming that's the bottoming out).. [/QUOTE]
