Thanks for all the input. I tried everything and yep the sub droned again, i.e. made a continuous low humming sound or rumble(sorry House, I should have written it as a verb, not a noun).
When it's a rumble in the scene, the sub drones until i power down, when it's a sudden thump, or blast it goes into the "helicopter effect" - sorry that's the best way to describe it.
Roode, my drivers aren't extending much at all... I will put in finding nemo after the movie is done and check it out. Can you tell me more about the fishbowl scene you are referring to?
Thanks everyone!
