Bass tweak that costs zero!

[tonepub]

Don't know if this has been mentioned here in the past, but I took a minute
to check the tightness of the bolts on my Descent and found them really loose from cranking out all that bass for the last year.

A quick tighten with a 3mm Allen wrench in a star pattern tightened up the bass in my system tremendously!

Something to check if you haven't recently....

Probably a good idea to do the same with the woofers in my SL3's.

Not to nit-pick what's been already said....but some people change original screws to brass screws and also use a torque screw driver to tighten each screw down at same force. .....

 

[tonepub]

The Torque wrench idea is excellent...

Anybody know how tight, or just all to the same value.

Either way makes perfect sense.

 

[s2k]

Just tight all the screws down at same torque.....

Screws or t-nuts

Does anyone know if these are t-nuts or not. I suspect they are on my Ascents. If they are t-nuts it would be safer to use a bit of torque. If into the wood there could be some stripping of the wood.

I have not try-ed this tweak myself, but have been thinking about it.
