Yamaha RX-V863 Owners

[donutman925]

I have a question for owners of this receiver. I have Klipsch's RW-12d subwoofer plugged into this with the monster 18' ultra 600 THX subwoofer cable. The sub works and is set at 9db, but to me it doesn't seem like its kicking in for most of the stuff I'm watching. I used yamaha's automatic ypao sound thing. The one thing I was thinking is that where the sub is in my room is the only place i could put it and it was sitting about 2 feet away from the microphone. After I did the automatic sound test it did come up with an error saying the sub was too loud. I am the type that likes a to hear and feel the bass most of the time. I am new to audio and was wondering if there are any settings I need to change in the yamaha for it to kick in more.
