I think that I may have a problem with my subwoofer. I have a Logitech Z-640 5.1 surround system for computer. Untill recently, my subwoofer is doing alot of rattling as if it has been blown up. So, I used a flash light to look threw the screen the best I can. So far that I can see, the material looks perfectly fine. I don't see any holes or tearing. I was thinking that mabie the rattling is being caused by something loose inside. The thing that I hate about this unit is that it looks like I can't take this apart! However, in the back where the electrical and audio connections are made, it looks like there are screws that I can remove to get to there. But see, not sure if that will help me or not.

In your experiance, could a subwoofer tear in the inside only? What do you think could be causing the rattling sound?

Their web site is MaximumPC.com, but they only sell subscriptions for the CD/Magazine version ($30 year).  This link, for $12/year is just the magazine at Amazon.

Good luck,

To anyone who really cares, I took my system back to best buy because I had the two year warentee on it. When I did, they tested it out and agreed, it was toast. First of all, if a subwoofer rattles, that is not a good sign. The kind of thing you are talking about is that your large sub vibrates so much that it can move itself off of a smooth serfice.

Anyway, I bought myself a Logitech Z-5300. WAY WAY better system. Should of got it in the first place. Hay, you get what you pay for right? Thanks to all who helped me.! Thumbsup

Just bite the bullet and get a Bose system.Often copied but never equalled.You coul even take a wave radio and hook it up to your pc.

$99.00

$249.00 sounds great

Hears one for you Apple guys....Ipod dock

  Get rid of your big stereo speakers and amps.This covers it all

this one will knock your socks off

I know it's not computer stuff but if you're looking for a good 5.1 or 7.1 system that will also do a fantastic 2 channel stereo, consider the following. It's my exact set-up. You would have to find these particular floor speakers, they are out of production today. But Klipsch makes some great new ones, I don't think they produce quite the sound these do though.

The Denon and Klipsch product make a beautiful sound together.



Klipsch KLH 2 Floorstanding speakers



Klipsch RB-5II Bookshelves for Rear's, Sides and Center Back



Klipsch RC-3II Center Channel



And a Klipsch downfiring sub in your flavor of watts. I'm running 400w.


Then hook em up to this 7.1 channel Denon AVR 3802 at 110w per channel. Or any Denon AVR receiver.

Nice stuff Marshall.Right up there in quality and price with Bose.If you got the space for them they are real nice.Sit in a new Silverado with a Bose system and tell me what you think.

That is true, you do need space!
