Subwoofer boom is too much for me...

What kind of sub do you have?   Where do you have it plugged in?

Ported subs are for watching Avengers movies, not for serious listening.

Boomy works for explosions, but not so much for listening to Ray Brown.

1. Sell the ported sub.

2. Buy 4 sealed subs.

3. Do some research on distributed bass arrays.

4. You're welcome.

Real curious about what sub you have.

Years ago, my first sub, was nothing but boom. It was a low price Yamaha. 

Next sub was a Definitive Technology prosub 1000. It was better, but still had a little boom to it. In hindsight, I figure it was intended to serve in HT.

Got tired of playing that game and went to a REL 10" sub and found nirvana. Properly set up, a good sub is hard to notice, except for a little more depth and better definition of low frequencies.
