Subwoofer boom is too much for me...

I think we (Agon posters) should start the new year on a higher note (😉). So often , answers to an OP’s question are used simply as a vehicle for expressing all that we think we know about a topic without addressing the most obvious and easiest things that should be part of the dialogue with the OP. Only a relatively small percentage of the respondents have asked of the OP, if only in an indirect way, the obvious questions/suggestions: “Have you tried lowering the output level of your sub?”, “If so, what was the result?”, Have you tried lowering the XOVER frequency?”, “If so, what was the result?”. So, OP, what say you?

should start the new year on a LOWER note= subwoofer thread 😁

Yes mikey it is called plugging the Bung Hole...

Not to sound dumb but how much does source material impact subwoofer settings.. The difference in bass from cd to cd and even vinyl to vinyl often has me running to my subs…

There is a setting in my processor that is for late night listening that tones down bass volume so as not to wake up family or neighbors while still having dialog clear. Most receivers have something similar that could be used instead of changing sub settings.
