2Wq hum

[BartJY]

Hi Folks,

My 2Wq has hum. But, I can only hear it when my ear is pressed against the wooden cabinet. All other times it is inaudible. Is this normal for that subwoofer. If not, how do I eliminate the hum?

Thanks

Bart, it hums because it doesn't know the words, LOL.  What you are hearing is mechanical hum coming from the transformer, which is normal.  If I were you I would not listen to your stereo with your ear pressed against the cabinet.  Enjoy.  RV

LOL! Fair enough. I'll stop pressing my ear against the cabinet.

Thanks

Give it a few bars and it'll try to fake it.
