Do you adjust your subwoofer


I have kef reference 3 speakers and a rel 510 subwoofer 

 I keep the  crossover low and the volume low as well. It gives just a little extra down low

I was wondering if people bump up the subwoofer when using it for movies, just for the extra thrill

I use an SVS 3000 Micro sub in my home theater system.  Using the SVS app, I have set up and saved two settings.  I use one setting for TV listening at low volume and another for listening to music and movies.The low system allows me to get good sound without the bass booming up to bedroom that is right above the home theater/family room.  My spouse is very happy about that.

The SVS 3000 Micro has transformed my modest home theater system.  I have five NHT Super Zero speakers mounted on my walls and the crossover is set at 120Hz.  Using that high crossover and a bit of subwoofer EQ, I get big sound with the tiny acoustic suspension Super Zero's. 

I have a Hsu Research STF-2 which has worked fine for me with the Vandersteen 2ci. I have tune the sub where is seamlessly with the 2ci to a point where is like a house curve response. This usually a boost in the bass region and a downward slope to the high end region where usually around -3 to -6 db below reference. So to answer your question,  you would need to do it once after you figure out the right placement. Find a well recorded music with a full spectrum response.

Wow I haven't heard the NHT Super Zero speakers in years!! 90's I think? Back then l had the Paradigm 20's bookshelves with the Paradigm Servo 15 sub Very few people back then had a sub in there system I've heard really good things about the SVS Micro 3000  If you have room you might consider adding another Micro 3000  I have two SVS Ultra 13 subs and I'm in bass heaven
