Hi casey,

I don't think the setting is too high. I am using a 12v trigger to turn the sub on, and it does not work sometimes. When it does not work, It may take a few songs for me to notice, or I may not notice at all depending what I am listening to. I do not notice any "localizing" towards the sub during any of my listening. Everything sounds very "spread out" as you mentioned. Tnanks again for all of your help, I very much appreciate it.
