But what’s “too high”?? Tastes vary, and so do movie soundtracks, but your SVS is capable of tremendous levels of low distortion, low frequency bass - far more than most commercial subs. Take advantage of this, especially if you like action movies with lots of “.1” channel LFE action, and give the sub a bit more “bump” during calibration. Keep in mind too that the human ear is relatively insensitive to low frequencies. This, coupled with the fact most folks don’t watch movies at Dolby Digital reference level loud!, means tweaking the bass up a few dBs usually yields a better movie sound experience

speakers, as well as your sub, getting these bass wave forms to arrive in a com complementary, enhancing fashion is the difficult job of the phase control. Essen- tially, “phase” varies the timing of the bass waves coming from the sub. But don’t despair if you don’t hear much difference the effect of bass cancellation will vary by volume and frequency in your room, and no one setting is likely to ever be “perfect”. One simple technique to optimize phase is to find a nice “bassy” loop such as the menu of “Godzilla” and measure the loop’s SPL response at various bass peaks. As the loop runs, you can have an assistant adjust the phase control. When you see the most response on a given bass passage, typically that’s the set- ting with the least cancellation for the frequencies of the demo loop
