Did you ever buy too much bass?

I talk a lot about bass and integration of subwoofers in a system and I realized that I need to hear more about the experiences auidphiles have when they go buy speakers and put them in a room.  Did you look at specs?  Did you audition in the home?  Did you end up with too little or too much bass compared to what you were expecting??

Many times setup is half the battle ,go to Cardas cables they have a classic speaker setup, and if speakers have too much bass ,if ported plug the port with foam or pull away from front wall boundaries. ,that removes Bass reinforcement.

With subs the better JL audio with built in DSP - mikes is very good 

my brother has 2 fathom 12s  very nice subs 

I have the Svs 4000s and with the app and DSP Mike adjust to the room nicely 

a good tuned sub should disappear in the room ,

land to others Bass becomes directional when above 80 hz .

depending on the order of the speakers roll off normally under 10 db above the lowest bass of the main speaker , having 2 subs always better then 1 if of = quality to eliminate Bass nulls in the Room , and room the subs around if you-have the room ,wireless bass IHave not tried ,but others say it works ok.
