There's something wrong. That should be blowing you out of the room. Turn it down to at least halfway and tap the input cable a bit. It should thump loudly and rather dangerous-sounding-ly.

Is the power light on your sub on (green light by the power switch)?

The power switch is on and so does the green light.

Ichigo_Kurosaki,

The most likely problem you are having with your subwoofer is in the settings themselves which is causing the sub to receive not enough voltage from the subwoofer pre-out for proper output. That is noted by the -12 setting. It is highly likely this is the problem EVEN with the gain set to max on the subwoofer. Use the knob on the Ep350 and set it a little past half way and change your settings from -12 to +2 for the sub on your receiver and see if that makes any notable difference. If it does then we found the problem and we can tweak your system for proper calibration from there.

I think it is okay now. After positioning on the corner. It is making much more bass than I thought it would. My only problem now is with the M22. LOL

Corner loading would technically give you some more output. You should still try the settings I suggested. Its not a accurate setting by any means but it should tell you if there was a problem with your previous settings (low voltage) caused by the setting of -12.

Should I change the position out of the corner then?

For now, leave it where it is when you change the settings. If you notice more output after changing the settings, then yes it was a setup issue and you can than proceed to try all different areas in your room.

Placing the sub in the corner might not end up being ideal if you try other locations. It is possible that it might sound "boomy" or "bloaty" compared to other placements and vice-versa. You might also have to make minor tweaks to the settings as well.

Let us know if increasing the pre-out level from -12 to +2 works first.

I am not finding this now. I am gonna take a look on the manual. The only setting I am finding is a 0, +5 +10 and +15 thing. Is it possible to change audissey setup manually? I went to the manual setup but am not finding the sub settings to be changed!
