My Depth subwoofer has a weird squeaking sound that occurs only during loud low frequency effects passages from DVDs, i.e. stuff that heavily uses the .1 LFE channel, such as crashes, explosions, etc. The level control on the Depth is only set halfway (at 5), and the overall volume of the system is not cranked up outrageously loud, so it doesn't seem as if the sub's amp would be anywhere near the clipping point.
My Depth is connected to the subwoofer output of a Rotel RSP-1068 preamp/processor into the LFE input on the Depth. I temporarily hooked up a HSU sub to the same output from the Rotel, and there's no trace of the squeak from the HSU, so the problem does not appear to be in the signal content coming from the Rotel, it's something inside the Depth.
Anybody experienced a similar problem before with either a Depth or Descent?
Any idea what's causing it?
P.S. I've only had the Depth a couple of months. I just heard this squeaking recently, but it's possible that I had not previously played DVDs with enough LFE to trigger it, so I can't say for sure whether the problem just developed or if I just encountered something that's been lying in wait all along.
