that is definitely my issue. in that the sub just feels like this separate sound source. I'm going to try the SPL setup this week.

If I use the internal test tone to calibrate what volume should I set the receiver on? -20dB? -15dB? what about a starting on sub level (I've seen 9/10 o'clock mentioned but thats just ridiculously loud for my environment) Once I do all the dB adjustments in the receiver for all the other speakers should I turn down the level on the sub directly if I have to adjust that channel excessively in the receiver to match the others?
