hows your treble and bass knob?

i max it
*
treble is maxed out all the time...
i set my bass at half only...already everything in my room start shaking...mum complain alot...
but sometimes i increase to 75%...during weekends smile.gif
beyond 75%, the bass no longer sound natural...

inb4...i use the basic office table with long penghadang at the back
i place the woofer against the back wall, allowing the bass to move between the penghadang space and wall...
outcome is explosive...
u will not get this effect if just place under normal table...

reflection......it isnt good

in sound...u dont want the sound bounce back
*
down firing bass works that way lor...u will not get exact response of the bass like normal woofer...
the midrange and twitter is the 1 giving clarity to the bass...which sits on top of the table... which is why is set to max...
so i hear the bass fired from front but it rattles whole room.... wub.gif wub.gif drool.gif

u can try holding the subwoofer with nice bass song and u will understand what i mean...
u wont even feet it hitting you, but place it downwards under table where it can reflect all the bass back and boom...

how much was the damage? considering, 17 years ago.. compare with today's inflation and whatnot... sure cost really alot back then. hmm.gif

back then under RM300 ?
when i buy just RM 150...
trust me, its a damn good speaker, u can hardly find it those days...

if not mistaken, vs4121 is just atp3's cousin. kinda the same stuff(with quite the same sound output) only with different design.. just read from some random comment on internet. i had vs4121 too for use in office back then. yeah, i can say i was satisfied with it as much as with atp3.  laugh.gif
*
its similar design..but the woofer is front facing, not down firing....feels totally different....

there are two kind of subwoofer and two type

front face solid type or down face soft type...usually is categorize like this

the pair of tower speaker bottom also have a woofer to handle higher frequency bass.

the sound isolation or you can call your room isnt compact enough...thats why when the bass is heavy it rattles the whole room smile.gif ...which by then acoustic sound absorbing foam comes into help.

previously my rojak HT setup room doesnt have any of the acoustic foam stick to the wall...and i get all the rattles when bass comes in

after spending a few thousand rupiah  whistling.gif ....the rattles gone

also....usually down firing subwoofer is good for music only
