Hello,
I have a Focal subwoofer that I modifed a little and got repaired the electronics (new transistors, recaps etc). I am using it in my home cinema setup. The sound going to the mains, surrounds and the center is full range. I use the sub specifically for the area between 30-50hz. I did this by filtering the LFE signal coming from my AVR with a graphic equalizer. The measurements look good and the response is flat. I am really pleased with what I hear.
The problem I am having is that it is one of those only auto on/off subs (bad design), so no "always on" option. As a result, I have to keep the input gain pretty high to keep it "always on": +6 from the AVR and +20-24 db from the graphic eq. It seems to work fine but I was wondering if I could damage the LFE input of my subwoofer.
Thanks in advance!
