I just ordered a 16-46pci as I mentioned in another thread a day or so ago. It was going well and I was getting nice bass and then I watched a few more movies today without really changing anything and am not really getting any bass if I'm more than a foot or so away from the sub. I have the crossover on the speakers set to 80 hz and the sub is a little above half on gain. Phase is in the middle and onboard crossover is disabled. My receiver was running anywhere from -30dB to -12dB and it only got marginally better as I turned it up. What am I doing wrong? I watched the explosion of the tall building in Independance Day and the bomb scene in Contact which SVS mentions in their manual. I also watched Stealth and didn't get much bass at all from that. The first film I watched (and got good bass with) was Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The only things I can think of I've done since watching Smith was do the auto-calibrate on my receiver with the little mic that came with it (Onkyo 803) and turn the gain knob down because it was bothering the dog (this bass was at about 1/3 when I was getting GOOD bass, now at more than double that I'm getting hardly any). What's the deal? Help?
Thanks in advance,
Patrick
