My room is 20X24X7. I need some help setting up the necessary dials etc. on the back of my sub. My volume is at 10 o'clock and it still seems too low.
Thanks guys

Trim on Flat Crossover on Bypass (since your receiver is most likely handling this.
Volume (Gain) 10 o'clock seems to high, unless you have the sub level on the receiver way low. Axiom recommends midway of the 9 o'clock position to start, which if you look at the dial you will be around 7 o'clock or so.
My room is 30 x 31 x and my 600 volume is around 8 o'clock, and -2dB on the Denon.
How are you basing that you think it is to low? Have you tried movies with low LFE, or are you basing it on music.

Also, have you experimented with sub placement? Did you do the sub crawl? That made a big difference for me.

I don't think Wheelz can do the sub crawl.

Oh, man, now I feel like a total jerk. I forgot the origin of the screenname. Sorry!

That is too funny guys. Unfortunately if I attempted to do the sub crawl, it would be an awful long one :-). I have only been using my sub for music so far because my home theater isn't hooked up yet because the renovations are not finished. On Tuesday I will definitely check out the settings that siquack suggested and get back to you guys. I do remember though before I had the renovations done and my room was smaller, I had the volume set between 10 and 11, but it did shake my entire house :-).

Do you have a Denon that has been unplugged for awhile?
Check the level settings. I know those things default to -12 for the sub.

Yes it was unplugged for a while. Unfortunately I won't be able to check any of the Denon settings until my television is hooked up and I can view the on-screen display. Thanks for the info.
