I'm replacing the power supplies to my Sequel 2 plus the woofers and panels tonight.
A few weeks ago I ordered it all and then started taking out the woofers so that there would be less work to do once the new ones arrive. But before they arrived i had some friends come over and they wanted to see a movie so I put the woofers back in - one speaker had no woofer sound. I wondered if it always was like that but I doubted. I hooked up the woofer straight to the amp and got sound, so then I was thinking: "great, I need to replace the X-overs too!!"
So I took out the metal box that houses it and the X-over and before I put it back in I wanted to check to see what may be causing the woofer to not work. So I hooked up an amp to the unit that the x-over and pwr supply sits in (now outside of the speaker cabinet) and then hooked up the woofer to the x-over output on the circuit board - I got sound - good news. Then I hooked up the woofer to the amp (at the X-over input on the outside of the metal box like you would when the speakers are all put together) and it sounded louder because I bypassed the x-over - this is expected. But what I was not expecting is that after I disconnected the woofer I was heared a scratchy sound...I got closer to the metal box..I thought it was maybe some electical noise from the caps & transformers...but then i realized it was the actual music from my CD player! I could make out the lyrics and the music. WTFrench?
I was afraid I might break something in there so i turned off the system. Is this normal - to hear music from electronics that have no speakers attached to them?
