Subwoofer

Can anyone if possible answer why my subwoofer goes into stand by mode all the time after just a few minutes of playing  if the song is base heavy its ok movies are better in paticular new films but i find myself always adjusting the gain up and down its a Sunfire True Subwoofer MK IV have mains center and rears set at 90 hz as the sub as well should i open the hz on the sub all the way but it gets to boomy i like tight tight bass at lowest db.I know this is a hard question to answer is it possible the sub itself is just getting old using old Sony ES 9000 for pre/pro. Thanx for the rookie question.😀.

Had a look at the manual for the Sunfire True Subwoofer MK IV and there is unfortunately no option to bypass the Auto on/off function. Because newer movies are usually Avengers-type they are full of low end, but if you watch dramas or listen to non-metal music, you are going to have issues. The maximum crossover on that sub is 100hz, so you are already almost maxed out.

My advice is to dump the sub and by a used Rel 5 or Rel 7.
