My woofer won't stop barking...

I am using a new Earthquake SuperNova MKIV 10" subwoofer driven by the Sub Out from my H-K Signature 2.0 pre/pro. I am using a decent quality 25' RCA cable to connect from the pre/pro to the sub. My main speakers are Paradigm Studio 80s, fairly large floorstanders.

If I turn up the volume on the sub even a little bit (10% or more of total excursion of the pot) it constantly "growls". Changing the phase or cutoff freq. do not change this behavior. I can clearly hear the sub during quiet passages in music or movies, surely this is not right.

Is this indicative of a problem with the Sub Out on my pre/pro? Anybody know how to fix this problem?

Thx,

Try unhooking your CATV. If it is pluged into your VCR or TV or cable box it can affect any equipment in your system. If there is a grounding problem (which there often is) it will show up in your subwoofer. Mondial Magic will take care of this 95% of the time.

Good luck!
