BIC America Speakers SubWoofers Owners Thread

[Michelangalo]

Reduce the gain in ur sub and run audyssey again. It shouldn’t be calibrated to be at -12db. Keep running audyssey till u get -11 or 11.5 dB. A short cut would be first run audyssey at 2.1 for various gain values till you achieve 11 or 11.5 and then run audyssey with your full set up

I only got 2.1 for now So -11 or 11.5 DB should be ideal?

My current settings-
1. Speaker Config- Small
2. Speaker Crossover- 60Hz
3. Levels- >Front left- -2.5db
> Front right - -2.5 db
> Woofer- -1.5 db
4. Bass - > Subwoofer Mode- LFE + Main
> LPF or LFE - 80 Hz

Is it recommended to change settings after Audyessey setup?

After audyssey you will still need to tweak the settings. Crossover experiment 80-100 and speakers should be set to smalll. Sub mode should be LFE and not LFE+Main. Can’t say 11 or 11.5 is ideal and you may need to increase it to -10db or more based on how it sounds. Audyssey is just a start and you will need to manually tweak based on the sound stage.

I have my Bic subwoofer connected to a power strip. No UPS or Inverter.
Do you guys turn off the main switch or the subwoofer switch to off if not using?
Or
keep it on Auto all the time?

 

[efernand1]

Most of us keep it on Auto.....provided you use the system frequently. If there is limited use then you can switch off the sub from the standby mode.

I don't think there is any issue neither it consumes any power on standby. I just keep it in Auto as well. No UPS/inverter and I see 2-3 outages everyday as well. No issues so far (fingers crossed).

I am not worried about power consumption. Just worried that keeping on auto won't harm it. In case of led TV,s it's recommended not to turn off main switch instead turn on and off by remote. Was wondering if the same thing goes for recieved and woofers.

Well pricing a product is completely a seller's choice and would not want to comment on that.
I sold my 8 months old PL200 for 31K.
Get a hint.

Thanks for sharing.

I am in market for used sub. If any one interested in selling, do let me know
Thanks

I paid 77k in July 2019 for two PL200ii subs. Prices may have gone up now but I think the price quoted is high for PL200 which is a generation older.

The Seller may quote his price but based on condition and other aspects of performance and warranty if available you can perhaps review and take a call. It all depends on what type of sub you require and if this one or other brands appease your requirement.

Suggest you see also other ads if available and decide accordingly.

This post is going on for a long time. I saw it around 8-9 months back when I was looking PL200 II.
I would say its not worth it and I end up buying PL 200 II brand new from Jamsticks

BIC service center is in Mumbai. Amps of both my PL200ii subs developed problems few months after purchase. Jamsticks from whom I bought the Subs asked me to contact BIC service who in turn asked me to remove the amps and courier it to them. I paid for courier charges from my pocket for a safe and quick delivery.

I got the amps back after about a month. I had to assemble them back on my own.

Hope that helps to answer your question.

What is the going rate for BIC H100ii ?

I believe approx 35k varies from Dealer to Dealer, check with proaudio home and if you get a god deal...go for it...I can personally vouch for it...used it and before purchase, auditioned the F12 which is nothing close to the H100ii......the PL200 is the next level from H100ii
