I like those outside woofers.
Is there a particular reason why the Super Woofer isn't at maximum? Does it shake the GF-777 too much?
Thanx FD. The next video is a 20Hz test tone to see the AMP & Woofer response at that frequency. If you watch the 20Hz video below, in full screen, you can see the 'BASS' & 'TREBLE' knobs set to about the 3:00 position. The 'Super-Woofer' controls are at 'FLAT'(0db) position & no audible clipping or distortion from the speakers or amps, even the horns are quiet. As you can see, even with a strong 20Hz test tone, the woofers are well behaved & NO rattles or box noixes at all. The vulome isn't higher than the 10:00 position while Bass set to the 3:00 point(aprox. +6db) & the Loudness was 'ON'. What this means is I don't have to go to great lengths cranking volume & bass or constantly tweak the super-woofers, to get that 20Hz note or a balanced bass response & NO rattles at all up to about 80 or 100Hz.
!!!WARNING!!! TURN DOWN THE VOLUME OF YOUR HOME OR COMPUTER SPEAKERS BEFORE PLAYING. LOTS OF BASS ENERGY!!

Also, some on the forum questioned whether the sensitivity of the super-woofers would be good enough to get any usable bass or if the horns were really as efficient as I have claimed. I wanted to demonstrate that the BASS/horns are good & the sealed box allows it to carry quite well in an open area, outdoors. Also, some members voiced concearn over the sealed box not having enough ventilation for the amps so a 90F day is a good test for that too.
I find that leaving the Super-Woofer controls at 'FLAT' has a balanced sound with the the right amount of BASS for all types of music. Too bad my Kodak point & click camera has such a crappy mono mic but you still get the idea & it sounds really good with decent stereo separation & a balanced full range sound, almost like those big juke-boxes you used to see in restaurants & lobbies, etc.. It's also really punchy & strong on the 808 tracks we box junkies love too. I was just illustrating the point that I don't have to crank the BASS, TREBLE, Loudness or woofer controls to get a good full range sound from the system. This also proves the horns are working well & putting out strong mid/trable that carries far & clear without significant distortion. I'm going to somehow find a digiatl video recorder with better mics & stereo recording.
This crappy Kodak just isn't close to what it really sounds like. Sorry for the crappy videos but its all I got right now.
