I spent some more time over the weekend tweaking the sub, checking levels, watching movies, etc. I've found that since I listen at about 10-15db less then reference level I need to run the sub hot to get the bass output that I'm looking for and it's pushing the sub to the edge of bottoming. I'm...

That is one of the things that I changed the first night. That and turning off the DRC. I played with the sub some more last night and I've definitely come to realize that it's the source material I was using to test that was causing me some disappointment in the sub performance. I watched...

Unfortunately there is no room behind the theater seating for the sub. It sits right up against an outside wall and because the are big Lane recliners I would have to move them quite aways away from the wall if I were to try putting the sub there. Any thoughts on room sizing? When SVS Tom...

I did play this and although I did not have the SPL conversion sheet for the rat shack meter handy I'm pretty sure it was right on par with what it's supposed to be. I have noticed that my room has a good peak around 38hz so I'm going to need to mess with the PEQ and try to tame that down...

Ron, I'll get that pic to you probably tommorrow. As for bottoming out, I can't stress enough that it was only once and only during the THX clip. Perhaps it is recorded hot on the SWTPM disc thus causing the bottoming. I did not hear it at all during the movie. I'll let you all know more...

I'm just hoping that it's a setup issue. I know that even room construction can affect the bass you feel. Concrete floors absorb all of that ground pounding bass. In my case I have a 9 year old house built on a wood subfloor so no concrete there. I'll just have to check over all of my settings...

I calibrated with C weighting on slow response using Avia at as close to 83db as possible. As for the DVD player and receiver, I have the DVD player set to pass a 96khz/24 bit PCM stream through and use the receiver to do the decoding. The receiver was in DD mode (as indicated by the DD...

It's set at the default of 20 hz. As to the bottoming out, it only happened in the THX clip. I never heard it during the movie.

Where to start... I got my first real sub yesterday. It's an SVS PB12/Ultra. My previous subs were just the dual 8" powered subs that are built into each of my Polk RT2000 speakers so this was to be a big step up, at least that's what I was thinking. So I get home after a day of work and...
