I wonder if I could change my screen name to bigsirquack or bigrandy, hmmmm My wife did comment last night that I appear to be eating to much, maybe that is a sign...

bigMarkS,

I had the same reaction to bigrandy's comment. Let's not go there.

Have a great day.

If eating too much results in that, ummm, result, then pass me another cup cake!

Well I calibrated the system with the spl meter and now I don't hear enough base. I also had problems setting the sub woofer settings. (Looking for advice). When I tried the "white noise"(radio station out of tune) approach on my sub I could not hhear anything.

I think there are requirements to be called "big" . I believe I fit 6'2" 300lbs.

Yes, Jim, you qualify. On the sub point, maybe you can describe in more detail what you're wondering about. Just throwing out some general points: maybe the calibration was about right, but you were expecting to "hear" more from the sub. Many set their sub level too high; the general idea is that the sub shouldn't be apparent as a separate source, rather that the impression should be that it isn't working, but the other speakers are putting out more bass. Other thoughts are that an 80Hz crossover is generally considered a good compromise and a corner is often the best location for the sub. Glad you're enjoying your Axioms.

Bigjim - not only do you qualify, but you are perilously close to having your own zip code!

I'm not sure how you performed the calibration, but let's assume it was correct. (My first 3 atttmepts were mixed ).

John is correct in that the sub should be somewhat transparent until it is supposed to show up. Spend some time watching several movies and see what knid of bass you get. There is nothing wrong with adding a few db to have the sub run a little hotter. Kind of a "season to taste" thing. If you still aren't satisfied, try to calibrate again .
