ok so i just bought this subwoofer and hooked it up. i have it at 0 phase and crossover at 100hz. i have the sub volume at about 75% and did a mccac sound test on my pioneer sc-05 and it set the sub to -9.5 db. this left virtually no bass except from the towers. so i manually put the sub to -3db instead. but still not much bass. help!!!!! what does everyone set their subs to usually?

Drop the crossover to 80Hz and see what happens.

You also may want to relocate the sub to a different location and redo the MCACC.

Turn the phase up to 180 !! & it would be best to have the sub A couple feet from any walls !!

• On the back of the sub, turn the crossover to its maximum point. You will set this in your receiver's menu.
• On the back of the sub, turn the level to 60%.
• On the back of the sub, set the phase to zero.
• In the receiver's menu, make sure the subwoofer and all speakers are turned to ON.
• In the receiver's menu, set all speakers to SMALL.
• In the receiver's menu, set the HIGH PASS FILTER (crossover frequency) of each speaker about 10Hz to 15Hz higher than the stated low end frequency response of each speaker (this number is stated in the speaker's manual or the manufacturer' website).
• In the receiver' menu, set the HIGH PASS FILTER of the subwoofer to 120Hz.
• Run the calibration program again.

You can adjust the settings slightly if you don't like the results of the calibration, but don't overdo it.

i have the pioneer elite sc-05 i did a lot of what you mentioned. im not understanding where i change the "high pass filter" of each speaker including the sub as well. the overall setting for the crossover is at 80hz.
