The adjustable subs are nice but in my opinion, the real magic of the 5 is in its mid-range. Do you like how they sound with the subs turned off? If not, either there is something wrong with the placement or they are not good match with your amp or the speaker cable. What cable do you use?

Also, you need more than 200 hours to run the subs in. My 5s, not 5As, took over 6 months, probably close to 6-7 hundred hours.
