Default anyone with the onkyo 606 and polk rm6880?

If so can you give me a pm? I am having trouble with my setup with regards to the subwoofer.

To sum it up, i have the front L / R and center speakers connected right now and sound is great but from the subwoofer out into the sub its just super low. I turn the gain up on the reciever and on the sub but its still super low. A guy from polk said to test the sub by putting the rca inputs into my bluray and feed the audio to the sub and yeah at 1% volume its loud, and bassy. For every other setup i try with the receiver its just super low. Even when i wired the recievers front R/L to the sub, and then had the output from the sub go to the front R/L .. still the same. The only way i have been able to get any kinda real response is from turning the sub gain 75%, raising the gain on the EQ +8 for sub, and raising the volume to like 30+ which is getting loud for me. I was going to try lowering the front/center gains on the reciever to like -db's and keep the sub 0? (to raise the overall volume higher to get sound but leaving the sub the same) I don't know if that would help though

Re-run Audyssey and make sure double bass is on. Adjust the gain to around 3/4. Adjust the distance and levels on your receiver as necessary.

I re ranAudyssey and i changed the distances. It made my speakers -11 and -10 db and the sub -9, but i raised that -9 to 0 and it seems to be better now.

I have no idea what it was.. i dont get it.. its still needs tweaking though because its still lower than it should be, but i'll mess with more settings
