Does You Subwoofer Settings ??

Do most find that subwoofer settings are not perfect for every song you play ??

Last year went to a SVS SB16 Sub and 95 percent of songs it sounds beautiful.

But other songs has boomy sound and I have tinnitus and guess at times think it may be my hearing ...

But at times would like to get a professional in that understands all the adjustments the SVS has that I do not understand..

Do others have this issue or is it that Subs can not be adjusted for every song that is played and the way it was recorded causes this at times ???

Tried to correct title Your Subwoofer Settings !!!

As I mentioned earlier, do the sub crawl method to find the spot(s) where it’ll likely sound much better and very possibly mitigate the problem.

And I agree that you should add a second sub when possible because it makes a big difference, again assuming you have them properly set up. Best of luck.
