bought tis spk 2 weeks back...kinda ok thou but it lack of bass...any way to enhance the bass produced?

Lack of bass?

yup..compared to my previous ada885 n 501d, tis is the worst bass of all 3...but the clarity not bad le...

What soundcard are you using?

R501 lack of bass? are your setting (both hard and soft) is 5.1 surround?

im using intel 945p built in soundcard oni...

blackshirt bro...i set the spk to 5.1surround mode n all the satellites is working nicely...

I see, how is the bass / sub woofer control? All nicely setup?

How is your 'lack of bass'? Nearly hear? Too soft?

SW @ level 5...

bass abit soft...

The bass on most built-in soundcards are crappy. XD

Try to get a SB Live 5.1 at least, and the speakers can show their true power easily.

Btw, the R501's bass would be optimum at around level 7-9. It's just how they are designed.

SW lv at 7-8, increase bass to 50-60% then you see if the bass is too heavy..?

hmm...bro...my built in 945 is way better than sblive 5.1 le...
my previous amd system oso can produce better bass than sb live...tried with 501d n ada885 dy...

blackshirt bro, will try to increase sw level n report in...roger n out

ur intel build in sound card more geng than sblive?! O.o
which motherboard u using? mind to tell me? actually motherboard build in sound quality is depend on the motherboard manufacturer, not the chipset manufacturer. anyway, ur build in sound card play well with ADA885 but doesn't means will play well with R501 because some powerful speaker is need a strong sound card to pump its sound up, then it will giv u a surprise result. for example a sony 7500watt hi-fi put in a motherboard build in sound card then u will discover its bass really weak. but if a cheap ATP3 put in a build in sound card i think u cant differentiate the result obviously compare to put in a creative sound card. i suggest u can borrow a audigy frm fren and test to see, if the bass still weak for u then mayb ADA885's bass really greater than R501 and u already used to it. actually ADA885 really is very nice, i hav listen its sound b4, the bass is damn great. btw, R501 i never try it seriously so i am not dare to giv any comment.

bro, fyi i tried my previous ADA885 n Megaworks 501D on my AMD system...with built in nVidia nForce2 ultra...n im sure tis 945p is way better than nForce2... btw, i tried increasing the SW setting on the spk, in it works like a charm....now working perfectly...

glad all worked out well, man.

the R501's sub control mostly gets turned on and ready to rumble when set at volumes of 7-10.

this is unlike other speakers like Altec Lansing, where a lil increase in sub volume will give overloaded bass.

Depends on your sound control unit la (chip) nothing do with chip set

i juz increased the SW to 7, n the suddenly bass becomes powerful ....rite now i can blast my dance musics happily

the bass is "WOW"

btw, thx blackshirt n shockk bro

No problem

Just dont get complain from the one next door
