Does You Subwoofer Settings ??

I have made few adjustments.. I only play system when wife is out to enjoy music and probably good thing in few ways.. that the sound of system is sort of fresh and not tiring playing to much and saving my hearing even at 75 db ..

I turned the Sub 90 degrees and moved it out and this has helped... Also I had Sub set to high over my speakers and did not relize until I turned down sub and slowly brought it up ..My setting on SVS was 19 and now at 25...So wife goes out Friday will play some and see....My wheels are Custom one off Polaris Turbo Slingshot, .Harley Springer in living room for 25 yrs & Lotus Emira...2006 Jeep Unlimited Truck I built 2 doors.

Because no two engineers mix music the same way, there is no one setting for subwoofers, but you can get close.  That said,  since I changed from KEF Reference speakers to Sonus Farber Amati speakers, I am finding I’m not using the one SVS SB2000 Pro I have as much.

I had the old SVS SB 2000 duals...You had to get up make adjustment and sit and did not understand what I was buying purchasing the SB16 with App...This one Subwoofer makes me happier than my dual SB2000's..When I shut the woofer off today to listen to my Main's and then bring woofer sound back into match mains I knew I had it to high and still need to lightly balance slightly..But understand what you are saying without subwoofer and just. playing music and hearing pure music without a Sub at times could be a nice change at times..Enjoy You Music.

I didn’t see it mentioned, but a 16" subwoofer may not be ideal for music reproduction compared to a 12". I haven't heard the SVS 16 myself, but when I was shopping for subwoofers, I was advised against going with a larger one for my needs: about 90% music and 10% movies. (I currently have four smaller subs 12", and bass is sublime) Getting the sub placed correctly (do the sub crawl with an 80hz test tone playing. Play with phase and XO; if you have distance delay, play with that too. Sorry if this isn't helpful.

The SVS SB16 sounds more natural than my Dual SB10 's I had..

Like anything you get time time time to set it up and settings..

I am sure my tinnitus does not help in setting it up for my ringing at times is high and lower at times ...Makes what you think your hearing questionable..But I ask the question to see how others felt  with their subwoofers...And as you see lots of responses..But placement seems to be biggest of them...And its hard to get everything in right place when room was not designed for higher end audio gear and trying to get higher end quality sound...I am blown away with my system and as you know I am sure you are never totally satisfied and think I can get more from what I have..If its moving speakers, rolling tubes etc...I am very happy with SB16 do I wish I could adjust it little more for certain songs yes but 95% happy..

Thank You and will come back for references at times here.
