True...
But when properly calibrated, you only need so much.

Ah, if I could only calibrate it. I really don't know very much about this equipment. Chances are I have it too loud, but I sure like a lot of bass!

Ajax had a good link for calibration. With an inexpensive SPL meter...it is pretty easy.
Most people, when calibrating by ear, have the sub channel turned up as much as 10dB.

Here is a link that Jack provided in another reply. Here is the other link that was posted by Jack (Ajax).

Are there companies that will come out and calibrate your system FOR you?

Now that is an offer that would be hard to refuse.

In reply to:

I'm sure there are, but they'll cost you a whole heluvalot more than buying a Radio Shack Analog, or Digital, Sound Pressure Level (SPL) Meter, and a calibration disk like [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/630551982X/103-8231176-2075006?v=glance]. It's not that complicated, and everybody here will be glad to help you learn how to do it. Knowing how will serve you well.
Thanks to Wid for posting the links. I'll add a couple more.

OOOOOOOOOOO! DEFINITELY Take Curtis up on that offer. But don't think he's just being a nice guy (which he is). He just wants to hear that EP600, and I don't blame him ONE BIT!

LongBeach, forgot to ask. Did you get the 600 in the vertical format, or the horizontal format?

Coooool LongBeachBear you've got one awesome system! 
I'd suggest taking your time and calibrate it yourself. I've read recommendations to calibrate systems once every six months so if you can do it yourself you'll never wonder if things are just right. As Ajax says its not difficult, you learn alot, and will enjoy your system that much more!
One question, do you have your house properly anchored to the foundation...? If not I'd suggest you get it done, as that EP600 will cause your house to "walk" away.
Tell ya what, point your EP600 North and I'll point my EP500 South and we can generate our own Quakes along the western seaboard. Sound like fun?
Have a great time, Jag
