Question for sub woofer users


I'm kicking around getting a sub for my Quad 2805 speakers.  Here's the question;

Are subs "set and forget," or do you have to constantly fiddle with output volume and crossover point with different recordings?

Thanks in advance,

Bob

Volume too high and placement in corners or close to a wall . Then it will stand out like a sore thumb .
No problems with a sub here . Set it and forget it . Glad i lucked out incorporating a sub i guess .
Read in a book that a good place to set a subwoofer is as close to the listening position as possible . Have been using that method for a few years . Works well . You would think you would sense the sub being so close , but the bass seems like it is emulating from between the speakers . Pretty cool .
