Hey!

 

I don't know what has happened but my Klipsch SPL-150 sounds very strange in lower Hz. I set it up as what my Denon AVR x4700H said with gain etc. I filmed it playing a sound clip that goes from 20hz to 45hz. and after about 32hz it stops sounding like a piece of paper is in front of it. I have tried to lower the gain on it even more than it was on but it still is present but just at a bit less. I also tried to test press the cone to see if its broken but it feels just fine no weird sound or feeling to it and it bounces back real stiff like expected.

It says that the req. response is 18Hz - 125Hz  so it should be able to handle this Hz without sounding like this or am i wrong?

Spec sheet

 

I have my speakers on 80hz crossover and the sub on 120hz. i couldn't find a high pass filter so not sure if its sending the 1-16hz to the sub too or if the sub has a built in highpass filter to protect it.

 

 

This is the test Hz i used (but i set it to 0.5 playback speed since it was going too fast)

coil got stretched, or maybe a tear. you'll have to remove the woofer and go over it.
one other thing to check, did something inside come loose. again need to remove woofer to see

Round peg goes into round hole and if the hole is big enough anything goes. We kind of condition kids to destroy mess with speakers with those toys 😛
