A well adjusted subwoofer will be most noticeable by its absence if it is shut off.

Thanks Paul for making me understand how to set up the sub. Had a very very hard time understanding how to adjust the sub sound to pop up behind the speakers and also airy, at the same time, the volume is resolved at its best by ear indeed.<br>Also need to feel the sound, very important. :)<br>Oh by the way I have an REL T9x sub! (Thank god I didn’t finally sold it because I had enough of my wrong adjustments) 😊<br><br>Keep it up Paul<br>Thank you

As Paul recommends:<br>Get two subwoofers, not only 1. it will make the setup much easier in my (limited) experience -- just put them next to the speakers (either inside or outside) and start experimenting with crossover and gain.<br><br>Contrary to Paul's advice I recently found a way to quickly get the sound I want by setting<br>a) setting crossover freq to MAX, gain to ZERO<br>b) now carefully rise the gain, until a satisfying amount of base is there<br>c) try out: reduce crossover. if needed, take up gain at the same time.<br><br>Works really well with my RELs.

Hello paul and thank you for the knowledge you are distributing for all us audiophiles.<br><br>I don't get your explanation on puting the subwoofer in your sweet spot and listen to it from the speakers wall in order to find the right spot to place it.<br>It doesn't sound logical because the room acoustic is totaly difrent when you flip the sides.<br>Can you please refer to that issue?<br><br>Thanks allot 🙏
