While you can never go wrong with more subs. Having those subs and amps match is far more important. use 1 sub or match them. usually corner spots behind you are the best spots for placement or the corners in front of you theres too many environmental factors that affect outcome. There is not one size fits all. some experimentation will be in order.

I serviced both units. the c-19 belonged to another member of the site who sent it in for servicing. the preamplifier passed tests on the test equipment then was put into an audio system and monitored for a day. the day of shipping it was tested that morning again before it left. unfortunately I dont have crystal ball to see what happened to the unit between the time it left and the time it arrived. obviously something is amiss in the unit and needs to be looked at unfortunately. Parts labor and return shipping cost are all included in your 3 year warranty. Shipping it back is small price to pay…I wish the unit would have arrived in the same condition as it left but it didn’t A simple phone call voicemail saying ray this pos c-19 not working correctly need to send back woulda sufficed. as far as the c-16 the same service and testing was done to several other members here. Which no one has any complaints. now the treble gain is very subtle most times you have to push in 8khz switch to see a sizeable difference however my theory is you said the c-16 sounds like shit and treble has no gain, what I’m fearing is that pop was a square wave and tweeters don’t like them at all. I would verify your tweeters are still working … im sorry this didn’t go as planned unfortunately here we are. If you feel cost is too high to ship here nellion audio is in Michigan which much closer then California. you can send it to Greg and I’ll cover the repair cost. Either way the choice is yours. Ray

You have to push in the tone control switch for the treble or bass knobs to work.

David there should be no popping of any kind either there’s an issue or something is hooked up wrong. we know it pops with the c-19. Remove the c-19 and put the c-16 in. Does it still pop with the c-16? if it doesn’t and plays fine then the obviously the c-19 isn’t working correctly and you need to send it back. if it continues to pop with the c-16 then I’d be looking at the amplifier and all connections made. regardless of which unit is having an issue if any you’re covered. Thanks

10000uf 100v caps are sold out everywhere especially the 4 lead ones. there’s only one supplier I know that has 4 lead 10000uf 100v caps but they’re 10 each I only use 10000uf 100v caps on m500t builds. on tfm models I use a increased cap of 12000uf 100v Panasonic’s i can sell you a set of those for 12 dollars plus shipping

I think as far as the super tower sets go. I know theres a smaller one called the mini tower which was a 10” 4 way. tried to get the set 2 years ago but dude flaked on me is what it is

You don’t. Just give in

The longest hum on the planet

beware of the last 10 second 20hz drop will clip the amp like nothing

Wow that sucks. Sorry to hear. That’s the very reason why I have subs. Subs take the abuse not my towers. Towers play louder and cleaner are much happier. Haven’t blown 1 speaker in the in the 2 years I’ve been driving them. I’m using 2 m1.0t mkii opt2 amps 460 watts x 4 front towers can play at 132db undistorted output and the backs at 128db undistorted output. As you see I’m playing at high volumes. my subs are consisting of 2 American bass 15” dual coil 4 ohm subs. I built the boxes myself, use to build sub boxes when I was a teen. 4cubic ft twin ported and spiked through the carpet to the concrete. when David stopped by he heard them on a tfm-42 into 8 ohms. I purchased 2 tfm55s that I’m fully rebuilding then I’m looking to achieve 1 amp per speaker at 600 watts a coil x 2 so 1200 watts rms x 2. Speakers are rated at 1250w rms and 2000 peak. As far as powered subs I don’t know. As I won’t buy a powered sub. A decent high wattage powered sub was fairly pricey. I don’t have any knowledge on this hopefully someone else does

Subs are the only way to go. in fact when paired with electronic crossover (like dbx) you can remove the low freq from your front speakers which will play louder and cleaner with a lot less distortion and allow the subs to handle all low freq it is an unbeatable combination. My towers have a 15 3 12’s and a passive 15” radiator and my 2 12” Sony mobile es subs in my custom built 3 cu ft boxes laugh at the towers when it comes to punch and rumble 10’s are not big enough in my eyes anything less then a 12 is a waste a good pair of 12,15, or 18 is the only way to go
