Quick intro before I start:
AVR: Denon 2313
Fronts: Motion 40's
Center: Motion 30
Sub: Dynamo 500
I recently had my Dynamo 500 sub go out on me after only 8 months of ownership. I worked with Martin Logan and received a new one about two weeks ago. I have been trying to break it in slowly. Some people say you don't have to break in others say yes. I decided to play it safe.
Anyways, the other night my Fiance and I were watching World War Z on blue-ray. During one of the scenes Brad Pitt is in the cockpit of an airplane with another man after an intense moment. The movie had come completely silent when all of the sudden off in the distance an Atom Bomb Mushroom cloud appears and followed by a loud deep Bass Boom from sub and other speakers. As soon as it peaked a loud Thwap sound came from either the sub or fronts. I immediately jumped off the couch towards the sub to check settings. It was only on about 20% power as I have not wanted to crank it yet. I played the same scene the next morning at some lower settings to make sure it wasn't a sound effect from the movie. I did not here the Thwap sound again.
Did I damage my new sub or one of my speakers? I don't hear anything sounding broken but am concerned.
My settings were on the following:
Fronts and Center set to Large. ( Should I place to small?)
Sub LFE was at 100 ( I read some forums and put it at 80)
Default in settings it was at 120.
Volume 70 - 100
Has anyone had this happen before? I am still trying to learn how to setup my system and all of the terms.
Best regards,
David H.
