Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Subwoofer setting, at receiver or at the sub

Start with the receiver at 0 dB, and then adjust the sub gain knob for the rough adjustment. From there, you should just fine tune the level adjustment with the receiver.

It is optimum to use both so that the two points of controll aren't fighting each other. You don't want to be too high or low on the reciever adjustment, hence why to start with it at zero and get the sub "close" with it's own gain control first.

Every situation is different, but this should work in most cases.
