Do you adjust your subwoofer


I have kef reference 3 speakers and a rel 510 subwoofer 

 I keep the  crossover low and the volume low as well. It gives just a little extra down low

I was wondering if people bump up the subwoofer when using it for movies, just for the extra thrill

Beware of using the published specs to determine how low your main speakers actually go. Try to play a test track with defined frequency levels from Quboz or from wherever and hear how low your speakers will actually perform.

Then, set your sub crossover to enter perhaps a little lower than your main’s will actually play.

If I'm on a Tool jag and want to send ripples through my sternum, I bump my sub to about 1 o'clock or so.  Typically it's at about 11 o'clock.  All other adjustments stay the same.  

I have been using a Hsu for over 20 years. Really integrates with the speakers well. I switch between Tekton Lore Be's and vintage Linn Nexus speakers. 

I never felt i needed anything else. I use the high level speaker outputs on the sub. Great reliability. Not a single issue
