Why is my sub getting too hot?
Due to the plateaus in the waveform caused by clipping, the subwoofer moves less than usual and generates more heat. The voice coil eventually fails due to the voice coil’s breakdown from this excessive heat over time.
Can a subwoofer be used on its own?
A subwoofer cannot be used by itself. It only works with a speaker that is attached. Because subwoofers are not always well-designed, there may be problems with the audio. Even the setting of them may become challenging.
My subwoofer is blinking; why?
Because it isn’t paired, the subwoofer is looking for a sound bar if the light on the back of the subwoofer is blinking. The subwoofer is paired if the light on it is steady (not flickering).
Where should my subwoofer be placed?
The output of a subwoofer may rise if it is placed in the corner of a room, making the sub sound louder. See how it sounds by trying to position your subwoofer in a corner. However, if your subwoofer is too far from your listening location for your floor space, a corner might not be a good alternative.
