Re: [Flexradio] More bass from Flex 5000A on Rx
Harry, I use the Bose Companion III which has the subwoofer. Like Harry says, it is really dependent upon how you have your receive filter set. There have been times when I was adjusting the RX filter that the bass was overwhelming which, in my estimation, doesn't enhance receive capability. I guess it's just a matter of preference.

All of that depends upon how low you have the receive filter set for as well. I do not know what you have yours set for, but I thought I would pass along that setting the receive filter to allow everything above 50Hz or even lower to pass through your RX1/RX2 could help. If you have already done that, then yes a subwoofer will definitely enhance your current bass response. You may find yourself, like me, adjusting the low end of the filter dependent upon who you are conversing with. 73, Mike W5CUL -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harry Williams Sent: Monday, June 30, 2008 11:01 AM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] More bass from Flex 5000A on Rx I have my Flex 5000a hooked to a pair of Bose companion II speakers.

Re: [Flexradio] More bass from Flex 5000A on Rx
I have no clue if this will work or not, but what if you fed a 5.1 enabled sound card the stereo output from the F5K into the 5.1 sound card's line in and then used the 5.1 sound card's DSP to enable the use of a sub woofer (and the other channels as well). -Tim -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harry Williams Sent: Monday, June 30, 2008 12:01 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] More bass from Flex 5000A on Rx I have my Flex 5000a hooked to a pair of Bose companion II speakers.
