it's ported, well dual ported, but one of the ports is plugged (it's part of the design i swear!). it's also downward firing if that makes a difference. how can I recover my lost frequencies?

Do you sit in the middle of your room?

The middle of the room is a no no. It is full of nulls. Try moving your seating by a couple of feet. also try corner loading it.

It had been up in the corner but wife wanted to try it as a side table since it has such a nice top. that could explain it, i used to have the loveseat along the wall and the longer couch out in the middle. Now that the long couch is ont he wall it pushed teh sub back far enough. Thanks Rick!

Let us know how it sounds after the change.

That might explain it. The corner gives you quite a bit of low end gain. Is it also out from the wall in its current position?

Not very far. Maybe 8-10 inches or so. When it was in the front it was probably more like 6-7 inches from the wall. When it was where my couch is in the dead middle of the room I couldn't hear anything anywhere in that place. It is all coming together.

Steve -

Not to rain on the parade, but that response graph gives a pretty poor impression of the sub you're using (not just the room). I missed which Outlaw it was, just saw that it's a 12" sub. Maybe it is Audyssey working a number on the response as well, but the low frequency response from 40 Hz and down is going to be very hard to feel based on that graph. Almost makes me thing something is wrong with the measurement given your description of feeling the low bass in movies like Kung Fu Panda.

It looks like you're good in the 50-90 Hz range, but anything below that is really at such a low volume in those graphs that I doubt you'd feel most of the LFE in movies.

I'd definitely play with room placement if that is a true depiction of the response in the current position.

By the way, to place an image directly into your post, you use the third button from the left instead of the "link" button that you used. After clicking that button, just paste the link into the popup window and it will show up directly in your post.
