AC Power thread from Cable Asylum.

I'm confident you are correct.

What I describe is the path the transient takes to get to the sub input..

Thanks guys.

HI Tony...hey, notice the deletions over there in the Heaviside discussion...took what, less than 12 hours? I'm so bad, pointing out poor behaviour..got another nastygram too...man, I'm just thiiiiiis close to "history".

Yes, I did notice that. Poor Keith Lockwood got caught in the cross fire. As you noted, they are not very tolerant of posters that do not follow their guidelines..which is really sad. Alot of good informations can be exchanged between members, but due to rule of iron fist, most of them end up in the gutter or simply get deleted.

Take a DVM, and measure the ground to ground voltage (NOT THE NEUTRALS) between the sub and your source (receiver) with the signal cable not connected. Then, measure the AC amps between the grounds..then, at each outlet, measure the neutral to ground voltage. (In my office, the outlets have between 1/4 volt and 1.5 volts between grounds with no office load..)

Then, repeat each while turning the light on and off..

Answer with a nice description of your setup (perhaps a crude drawing???):-), and then we can troubleshoot more.

That sound like a weekend project. I see if I can fiddle with scenario this weekend and get back with you.

FLZapped also mentioned problem being arcing of the switch due to the inductive kickback from the ballast. That also might be a problem since the light and sub share the same AC plug.

I will investigate more

Um, Tony??

Get rid of the light..or don't turn it on and off in time with the music..

I thought you were talking about the light being on a different circuit from either the sub or the receiver..

Cheers, John

PS..do me a favor, Tony...if you want me to see a post, use the "reply to this post" button, so I'll get an e-mail notification. I don't lurk here as I used to.

...you have seen fit to respond to a thread that hasn't been posted to since September of 2004...

Secondly...a link to cable theory as presented by a wire company?...yeah, I'm sure it's not even slightly biased...
