Yamaha RX-V667 and PSW10

kenwilsonii

I purchased a PSW10 subwoofer and the performance is on the subpar side of
things with bass sound being low or very muddy sounding.

I have a complete set of other Polk Audio speakers that all work great
except for the subwoofer

I have it connected via a subwoofer cable to my subwoofer out from my receiver.The cable runs into a y-splitter for both R and L inputs on the subwoofer.

But I have to just about crank the subwoofer all the way up to get any response from it that is noticeable. The other speakers drown it out fairly easily bas wise.

current setup

Yamaha RX-V667

Other speakers

I'm VERY new to this sutff myself. I have the Yamaha RX-A700, very similar to your receiver. I just purchase the Polk DWS Pro 550wi. The YPAO gives me a warning message that its out of phase. I'm going to switch the phase on the sub from 0 to 180 to see if it helps. Perhaps it may help your casue too??

Good luck.

I finally determined why I was recieving the error message when using the YPAO. I had a rear speaker wired improperly. With successful recalibration with the YPAO and everything sounds better! My Bose have been replaced with new RTi A5's up front. Life is good; well, at least better. Hope you figure out your problem too.
