Hi, So yesterday I tested my subwoofers with a 9v battery. They both are 800w RMS 8ohm subwoofers connected in parallel. I held the 9v battery onto the terminals multiple times for at most 3-4 seconds at a time. I also tested my amp (Behringer EP4000, operating in bridged mode) WITHOUT any speakers connected for about probably 5-10 minutes, I also drove it into clipping as that was what I wanted to prevent by lowering the input volume. Now my problem is that those 2 subwoofers sound a little quieter (not much, but it is noticable), what could be the most likely cause of this, having tested those subs with that 9v battery or running the amp without any speakers connected? Thanks in advance! -Daan Amplifier Specs: https://media63.music-group.com/media/sys_master/h27/haf/8849441357854.pdf Subwoofer Specs (LX-18B(E)): https://www.manualslib.com/manual/623327/Wharfedale-Pro-Lx-Seroes.html?page=9#manual

ok well that sounds sensible ? (that I didn't think of that myself lol ?) but if I do this (so I have a clean output signal from my pc) will I be able to add a pre amp between the pc and the amp to make the signal a little louder? I might just try that and return the pre amp if it doesn't work but if you guys know for sure that it doesn't work I don't have to try of course ? EDIT: I think i've tried that before and the audio still clipped, however, i'm not sure, so I'll have to find out this friday I guess

that won't work, we allready have our complete audio set, we've just been using it by dialing back (lowering the volume) the amps a little

@Bombastinator No, it doesn't clip when the bass boost is turned off so that does seem to be the problem @Nimrodor That's the problem, I don't want to do that because then my volume would be lower :p Wouldn't a sound card work because it can output at a higher volume?

Hi there, I have a pc on which I used equalizer APO and Peace (peace is just a UI for APO) to bass boost the audio. That pc is hooked up directly to 2 proffesional grade amplifiers. However, since it's bass boosted, the audio clips at (relatively) high sound levels. Is there any way to fix this? like getting a discrete sound card which handles this bass boost a bit better? (it's hooked up to the integrated sound card right now) Or not bass boosting using software at all and getting a seperate equalizer? Or is there just nothing I can do against this? Thanks in advance ps. I know I can just make the bass boost less agressive but I don't want less bass ?

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Just one of those gold contact pads fell off. But I think it's unfixable anyways, and I also got a new cpu allready. But thanks for replying anyway -Daan

Hi, I have an i5 4460 and one of the contact pads just fell off...\ it's pin b33 ( https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/4th-gen-core-family-desktop-vol-1-datasheet.pdf page 112, and a few pages under that is what it is) which is VCC and all the pins around it are VCC as well, is there ANY way to fix this, by applying just a tiny tad of solder or SOMETHING? (please tell me there is a fix ?) Thanks in advance, -Daan
