Thanks so much for the info.I well try this.

Thanks for your input. I never heard of these items. SPL meter,Avia disc?Where do you get these,and how do I use them? I"ve tried the auto set up .I use to be up on hi-fi,when it was just stereo,now with 5.1 subs it's all new.I just want to turn on my system and have it sound good! I think I have a good system,it may not be the best.Like my Dad says "it is what it is"

Hi,I am having problem with keeping Bass.I don't know if it is my amp,or sub? My system set up : amp: pioneer VSX-47TX elite speakers:Klipsch reference,except sub,it is synercy 2-RB25's front L/R 1-RC25 center 4-RS35's surrounds 1-KSW10 sub My problem is my bass.At worst,it's tumpy low bass on strong bass sounds.From movies,music. At best(after I play with amp settings)lots of deep bass(almost too much).This is better than none.What ever I do does not stay.Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong,or tell me here I can go for info to correct this? I have tried setting and re-setting my amp.This is what I tried : -In the channel setting- I set sub to +10,down to zero,to -10. -In speakers system setting-set all speakers to small,then all to large,and in this setting ,for the sub I set it to "yes",or tried "plus". -In expert set up- I played with the Bass Peak Level setting.I set this at zero,mostly.I tried it once at +8.I don't like playing with this,I don't know what is realy is for.Even after taking to the pioneer tech support. All is temporary,the setting never seams to stay.I lose bass. Am I thinking of the sub,wrong.I thought the sub was suppose to provide bass for all uses,or is it only for 5.1 use?If so I could use towers for the front, for music.It seams the sub works better on 5.1,than music. The only other dealing I have with a sub is with my Bose acoustimass 15's. All the cubes connect to the sub ,then to the amp.These still wrok good on my old system in the other room.I get good bass ,for movies,and music. Help ME Ohbie Wan Canobie,you're My only Hope! Thank for your time reading all this.You will be rewarded,for your good deed,somehow. fourbye99@yahoo.com
