Sunfire Subwoofer Installation help needed


Aquired a used Sunfire Arch Sig Sub. No manual and I haven't the slightest idea as to how this is installed. My equipment consists of: Adcom GFA-5802 amp
Adcom GFP-750 preamp
Adcom GCD-750 cd
Magnepan 1.6 QR speakers
Stealth CWS balanced XLR interconnects
MIT Ternminator 2 speaker wires

I'm new to this and really need some pro guidance here !!!!

Hello Zeneith:

Congrats on your purchase of an excellent sub.
The Sunfire subs are best away from room boundaries. Try to keep it away from corners. Try the sub midway between your MG 1.6 speakers, either in the same plane or behind.

Try not to turn up the volume (for music) more than 1/4 of the adjustment. For the 1.6 try a crossover setting of about 40Hz (you need to experiment)

Keep in mind that the volume and phase controls are very sensitive. Very small changes in volume and phase will have a noticeable effect on the sound

For seemless blending, after adjusting the volume to the "right level", use the phase control to enhance the blending with the main speakers and to remove the "muddines" and restore the air in your system

Finally, it requires a lot of patience and experimentation.
Musical bliss will not be attained overnight. But the benefits of a well intergrated sub is worth the effort.

Happy listening.

George
