I've been buying a few things on ebay. a couple of passive satellite speakers, an active subwoofer and an integrated amp.
When I got everything set up, the volume of the bass coming out the sub feels a low compared to the speakers. I can crank the volume up on the amp and there's plenty of bass coming out, but at that point the speakers are way too loud.
If I connect the same speakers and sub to my other CD player with inbuilt amp, the level between the sub and the speakers sounds far more even. I can crank the volume at the back of the sub right up to a level that's too high infact. That's something that's impossible to do with the former configuration.
* I have noticed that the other output on the amp, the headphones out, is faulty. It only plays a mono signal (i think) and only in the right ear. Could it be that both those 2 separate outputs from the amp (the sub and the headphones) suffer from the same problem? I'm not sure how to check for that.
my equipment:
sub: https://images.crutchfieldonline.co...000/1950/products/2014/13/779/g779X200W-B.jpg
satellites: Cambridge Audio Minx Min 12 (Black) Ultra-compact satellite speaker at Crutchfield
amp: https://tibo-electronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/TI435-AMP-5710646002225-4.jpg
Thanks, any help appreciated!
* EDIT: I've just opened the amp up and the headphone output was just a loose connection
