As much as I love the look of these in my room I just can't justify them in my 1800 cubic foot room so I've decided to keep my Submersive HP and sell these two gems. Would rather have someone pick them up but I do have the boxes if buyer pays shipping costs. My zip code is 17201 and I need $5,000 and they are yours. If using Paypal please add 3%.

Stealth Sub for Patio

Fri, 10 May 2013 00:03:46 GMT

Hi All,

I'm building a new covered patio adjacent to a lap pool also going in now and would like pretty good quality, full frequency range sound for non-critical music listening, mostly pop/rock. I figured I can use some all-weather box speakers (Klipsch aw650s) mounted to the sofit panelling and then would like to bring in some bass reinforcement (and relieve the Klipschs'). The SO (and CFO) is fine with the 650s, if painted to match, but will not take kindly to fake rocks, weird planters, or big black boxes sitting on the patio. Also, although we have an adjacent plot of grass where a sub could be buried, neither she or I are crazy about the look of a snorkel sticking out of the ground, and it's farther from the 650s than I'd prefer. I might get away with a couple of smallish end table looking subs sitting on the patio but they would need to be sealed/weatherproofed for covered outdoor use (something inexpensive like the Behringer mentioned in micah's post might work with the right recovering but I need a unit for coverage within 20-30'). But what I think I'd prefer are some ideas for a trick, inconspicuous in-ceiling solution, as right now it's framed but still open.

The covered area is about 18x30' with 12' height. There will be non conditioned space above the finished patio ceiling (T&G wood planking) for locating sub enclosures of any reasonable size. I don't want to get into an infinite baffle design because the sofit space is not really sealed, and anyway I don't need that much bass. I don't need club-level volume and it's just for music, not HT. Also, FWIW I'm in Texas so as far as durability I'd be mostly concerned about heat and insects. Any thoughts on weatherproof subs, stand-alone or built-in?

Seaton Sound = Great Support!!

Tue, 07 May 2013 20:27:28 GMT

Sometime during the last week or so my Submersive HP quit working. I checked the sub and saw the dreaded 4 red flashes meaning the protection circuit has decided to shut the sub off.

Anyway I called Mark yesterday and explained the problem, last night I got the tracking number for the replacement amp. It is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Hope to get a second sub (F2) soon.

Thanks Mark.

Making adjustments with Omnimic after Audyssey

Fri, 03 May 2013 14:29:43 GMT

Would someone mind going thru the steps I took to see if what I did is ok for tuning my system? I have a Denon 4520 running an 11.2 setup with 3 Cat 12's, other speakers for the rest, 2 HP's, and 1 F2.

the steps I took

1. First ran Audyssey (several positions) (subs on pgm 1 setting)
2. Put Omnimic at main seat and played track 2 to all speakers with Sine Sweep displayed on laptop

the following steps were done while playing the sweep so I could see how each adjustment affected the curve

3. I had a dip at the 60hz position so I first changed crossovers from 60 to 80 on my Cat 12's (my heart said stick with 60 to get all I can out of them, but I changed anyway) This raised that dip some.

4. Next, I fiddled with Sub distances and added a couple of feet to flatten a little more from 50hz - 100hz.

5. Lastly, I played with changing 1 to all 3 subs from Pgm 1 to Pgm 2. It turns out that by leaving 2 of the subs on Pgm 1 and my front left on Pgm 2 gave the flattest response. (this had the least amount of effect on the curve so I am wondering if I should just put all of them on Pgm2???)

after doing this, my system has never sounded better. the one thing it is still missing is that thump in the chest mid-bass. I'm sure it's an adjustment that I am missing.

I will try to post the curve tonight.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.

thanks!

Wes

PS- I do still need to take some measurements that Mark suggested to determine which two subs to run on the same output. I was just playing around with this last night. Will do all over again this weekend.

Front stage

Thu, 02 May 2013 11:16:52 GMT

I am in the process of building a dedicated theatre. I am looking into whether a sand filled stage is necessary to decouple the submersive considering how inert the cabinet is, is decoupling necessary?

Power Cable separated from Sub Connector

Sat, 27 Apr 2013 02:40:49 GMT

Is there a way to get the blue end open on the power cord to replug the 3 power connectors? It says do not open on the Powercon side, but thinking how hard can it be?

Is this adviced?

I saw in another thread Mark making some suggestions.

Is this one ok? http://www.markertek.com/Cables/Power-Extension-Cables/TecNec/PWRCN-ACIN-10.xhtml

I see this one, but it is only the end connector and did not see actual power cord version.

Help.

SubM HP setup question

Tue, 23 Apr 2013 16:40:07 GMT

I have a SubM HP that I have been running with a Pioneer SC-25 and an Antimode 8033. I have been very happy with the sound from this combination. Recently, I picked up an anamorphic lens and sled for my projector that requires something in the video chain to perform the vertical stretch necessary for the lens to function properly. Since I have an older JVC RS1x, the only other thing in the chain that could do the stretch is my Oppo BDP-93. Well... I found out that the Oppo can only perform the stretch on disc based video and not on streaming content (i.e., Netflix, Vudu, etc.). Apparently this is a restriction that the streaming apps place on the hardware. So I needed to add something else in the chain that can perform the stretch. I purchased an Onkyo TX-NR809 for this purpose, which means that I need to part with my Pioneer SC-25. So my long winded question is what is the best way to incorporate the audyssey multiEQ XT and the Antimode. My old setup using MCACC does not touch the sub, so setup was straightforward... run the Antimode first then run the MCACC. Since Audyssey does the sub, when do I run the Anitmode or do I even still need the Antimode? Any help is appreciated.

Outdoor subwoofers

Sun, 21 Apr 2013 03:35:24 GMT

I have an stock MFW-15 and am wondering if it would do well enough outdoors or if something from a commercial line would do better. The other sub I would consider is the Behringer EUROLIVE VP1800S 1600W 18" Subwoofer. Thoughts?

Thanks.

Questions

Sat, 20 Apr 2013 00:05:07 GMT

I have been contemplating upgrading my speakers, and have a few questions:

- Could I run the cata 12's as mains, with the Cata 8 as centre?
- Would the cata 8 be fine on its side? Would it be ok in a wall unit?
- As they are powered speakers, would they be easily run off a Denon 4520 receiver? Any different hook ups from regular speakers?
- Could the cata 12's sit on top of the HP subs?
- How far from the wall should the HP sub, and cata 12's ideally be?
- Seaton doesnt have surround speakers. Does it matter which surround I use?

Thank you for your help.

Which two of three subs should i chain on a .2 receiver.

Wed, 17 Apr 2013 17:51:08 GMT

I have two Sub HP's as stands underneath my L & R Cat12's and one F2 in the back left corner. Right now I have the F2 on one output from my Denon 4520 and the other output goes to my left HP then an XLR cable from that HP's sub out to the other HP. My question is there a good way to determine if the front subs should be eq'd together by audyssey or should I put the left or right HP in with the F2 instead?

I'm just wondering if the left and right HP's could possibly be offsetting each other some and would it be better to eq them separately.

I have still not run audyssey since I purchased the 3 cats and the F2 and was hoping to get thoughts on this matter before I do. (even without audyssey my system now sounds so much better than before!!!)

Your opinions would be most appreciated!

Replace my two SC-600 IF/IC

Mon, 15 Apr 2013 07:15:28 GMT

I currently have a pair of Velodyne SC-600 IF/IC with their SC-1250 watt amp under my stage area of my cinema and would like to replace them with something better. Ive been reading that Seaton is the best on the market, not sure if that also applies to home cinema....

I have also read that Mark can also build something that might fit into my spaces under the stage so I get a more integrated look. Can someone get back to me on this please and guide a new comer to Seaton?

Thanks in advance...
