Can anyone recommend some movies and specific scenes that have good low rumbing bass that I can use to check if I'm happy with my subwoofer level? I find that I'm not totally happy with the bass I'm getting from my stf-3. I'd like to test some movie scenes that I know should have some ... bone rattling bass and see how my sub responds.

Also in Finding Nemo, inside the whales mouth scene is pretty intense.

How do you have it set up? Where is it located and did you calibrate it?

Many scenes in LOTR:ROTK. My EP600 is 12 feet away from my couch in my 4000 cubic foot space. The couch was shaking, my jeans were flapping and the entire upstairs was rippling! I was seriously scared that I would create a rip in the fabric of space-time .

I did calibrate it with the spl meter but somehow it just doesn't feel right. It's sitting about a foot to the left of my left main speaker. So about 8ft away about 6 inches from the wall. The sub isn't even turned up a quarter of the way. I don't find exlosions to be a very good test. I need something that rumbels deep that I can really feel. For ex if someone says a certain scene from a specific movie makes their bones rattle etc then I should have a good idea if mine even comes relatively close. Obviously there will be some differences due to better placement and or sub. Just looking for a simple comparison.
I did try the first scene from Master and Commander but while the explosions sounded good and clear, I didn't see any windows shaking...

Every scene that has battles, special effects and monsters. I doubt you will be able to feel these scenes with the STF-3 but if you can, congrats! My EP600 starts shaking my house at 14 Hz.
