Do you adjust your subwoofer

Never understood why some subs have remote control. I can see different settings for the home theater sub vs the audio sub (those effect in the .1 channel !). I found myself (on the HT system) often that the TV ADVERTISEMENT producer should start moving away from OVERCRANKING the sub channel (they seem to raise the level assuming that most people don't have a sub and their meager speakers otherwise would not make their effects audible). 

one of the most misunderstood things in audio is the amount of bass to have to enjoy movies or music is quite a personal thing, so by having a remote you can set it from your chair according to your preference.

Also, if you eliminate excess bass peaks first, you can raise up the overall bass levels.

It is not personal at all. The settings for music and cinema should be exactly the same if a system goes down low in the right manner. One uncorrected REL 510 is already 6 dB down at 20 Hz. Getting it flat down to 20 Hz would require quadrupling the power. Studies have shown that the most satisfying curve for sound reproduction in the home environment boosts bass up 6 dB at 20 Hz falling to 0 dB at 100 Hz then flat out to 1000 Hz with a slow roll off with 20K down 6 dB. This would require 16 times the power in a REL 510.  In order to get this right you will need another 510 and a digital 2 way subwoofer crossover such as a Mini DSP. You would crossover between 80 and 100 Hz with a steep slope like 48 dB/oct then you can get the correct boost with the gain control on the woofers. I listen to an acoustic bass go down the scale and expect to hear each note at the approximately the same volume factoring in room acoustics which can be a little tricky. But, if the bass gets continuously louder as it goes down, the volume is too high. 

I have a NAD M17 v2i processor, it's remote has an overall volume Control, of course, and additionally has three separate targeted volume controls for tweaking the surrounds, Center and subwoofer channels.

So if the sub sound tends to be too much or too little for a specific movie I can tweak it, same thing for the surrounds and Center as well.

It's a wonderful feature.

I also create individual settings on the remote where I can listen to movies strictly in two channel with surrounds and subs while excluding the center channel because sometimes two channel just sounds better for home theater sound.  I can also set it to include the center channel on the fly. 
 

Granite audio sells a deep bass tone CD. 20-120 hz. Full sweep and 15 sec tone test per frequency. Can easily hear peaks and nulls or ap a measure room levels.
