No Dr, if you read what I've posted, the problem lies when trying to calibrate multiple subs, to the same SPL as your speakers. I never said that I change levels for different situations. Even the Audyssey setup guy recommends calibrating each sub independantly to 80dB's prior to combining theme and running Audyssey. Currently, this is not possible for me, so I have to use something lower like 70dB's. Anyway, Axiom confirmed my thoughts.
