Please help!!!

LiveMike

Hey everyone,

I purchased the RT 5000 about 10 years ago and the subs in the left tower keeps bottoming out. I had new drivers sent to Me and I still have the same problem. I have switched out the subs from the right tower to the left and I still am having this problem.

Can someone please explain to me what I need to do to fix these? Your help would be much appreciated, I just want my babies back!!!

Thanks in advance

What does "keeps bottoming out" mean?

LiveMike

I meant they sound like are blown, but they are not.

Is the driver bottoming out at the end of it's travel an making a knocking or thumping sound? If so the cabinet seal may be at fault and not the driver. I'm not familiar with that speaker but I'm guessing it needs a sealed cabinet to dampen the movement of the driver to help prevent the driver from reaching the end of it's travel at high volume settings.

And you are using the stock mw8500 drivers?

LiveMike

Yes it's the mw8500 drivers.

Would it be correct to assume that the problem lies in the amp assembly?

check the spiders of those woofers. I know early SRT woofers had this issue.
