Just got these speakers and the volume is really low, even when turned up to highest level. Am I doing something wrong?

Either you are doing something wrong or you are deaf. Mine crank pretty good. Great for computer and they also make my Galaxy Note 4 rock!

Mine certainly get loud. I would assume it is your source. Make sure the volume on your computer is up.

I would say to first research what kind of stock amp you have, along with the correct amount of wattage your current speakers handle aka "RMS"... These speakers are super clear but need the correct amount of power amped to them to sound bright in the highs and clear on the mids

I've asked the same thing and no one answered. The volume is plenty loud enough, but I notice there is 'vibrations' if I turn it up too loud. I'd love to know about speakers as well!

I wish I could answer your question. I have very limited experience with these speakers. I returned them a few days after I received them.

I installed theese speakers in a Astro cargo van, I dont listen very high volume, so they are ok for me. If you are looking for higher levels you should look for other kind of speakers.

Have you adjusted the gain? It also depends on the cables and speakers used. More power drawn from the speakers could result in less power per speaker.

i would look for something else. these dont have a very high db so its not very loud. plus they arent as crisp as a cerwin vega speaker. these distort too easily.

It may be that your speakers aren't getting enough power and it's protecting them from blowing a driver. Depending on how good your speakers are, they can take a lot of juice - more than the average midrange receiver can put out. You may need a separate amp.

First make sure your sound card output is turned up full. Then make sure the volume on the speaker is turned up. Then lastly return them to Amazon because they sound like crap and buy some Tannoy 401's and enjoy real music from pro audio sound. That is what I did

You need to be careful where you place them as the Bass can reflect on the walls. you also have to check the button at the back and let it flat instead of "boost". If you will use it often in the same place you may think to analyse the reverb frequency and use an equalizer to remove the bad frequency.Hope you like them as much as i do !

Hi James your comments were a Very Nice Surprise Thank YOU very much :-)I have also discovered that the reason I noticed the volume was a bit low was because I had the attenuator switch on the back in the wrong position because once I switched I noticed the volume increased which solved the low volume problem.I would post that online for others but I don't know how, sorryRegards, Gordon

I don't understand what you are asking. The power is ok but you have low volume?

To tell you the truth I don't even use them. They have an echo effect when you turn them up. Don't like that. To try to answer your question most of the others hit it on the head,make sure the volume is turned up on the speakers and make sure the base unit is on. Best of luck to you.

You could turn the volume way up if needed. I play mine at a low to medium volume so I think you would be just fine. Hope this may help you out. LRE

Your desktop is not supposed to "see" them, nor any other computer for that matter, if they don't make any sound, try this first: connect your speakers to your cellphone, iPod, or any other music able device and play some sounds, if they don't work, send them back, if they work properly adjusting the volume and all that, perhaps your desktop needs repairing. Good luck!

I seem to have the same problem. I am not well versed in audio components and assume that that must be normal. I am hopeful someone will have a better answer or can offer a solution.

Since the speakers are down-firing (facing downward), the sound is not as clear if they were front-firing (facing toward). Check this thread for possible optimum sound settings - http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1020612.
