Yeah, I may need to look into getting an eq for the sub. It does sound like the really low stuff gets loud before it gets punchy when I turn it up.

Last night I turned the mains to small and sent the bass to the sub and forced myself to leave it that way. There is definately less bass this way, but I am going to try to train my ears to get used to it. I just can't force myself to listen to music with the sub calibrated at the same level of the mains though, it just sounds weak to me. Last night I had the sub at +5 and by the 4th or 5th song it was sounding pretty good.

I hear other posters from time to time talk about the kick in the chest feel from the kick drum, and I envy them. I wonder if you can only get this by cranking up the volume to well past 90db. I have some tinnitus issues so I refuse to go past 90 so maybe I'm just out of luck.

Any of you music lovers feel the kick in the chest when the volume isn't cranked?
