Thanks! other info on system:

206.100.159.2

In case someone has further advice here is some more info. about my system:

Denon Avr3300 reciever
3 Marantz MA-500's for mains, center channel (These are being shipped presently - not yet installed)
Mission 774 mains, 77c1 center 77ds rears. DefTech. Pf15tl sub
Pioneer 525 dvd
Rotel rcc945 cdp
Soney Wega tv
Monster 10 ga. 4rcl speaker cable
Monster THX subwoofer cable
Audioquest Ruby interconnects

All speakers set on small with all bass below 85 Hz. to sub.

Denon has built in 85 Hz. crossover so I have the low pass on the sub bypassed. The gain is between 1/4 and 1/2 way up. The Phase is set at 0.

Carpet floors over a concrete slab - This is good to keep boominess out of the floors, but the sub doesn't pass those low end freq's through the floor for that rumbling bass like it would with a suspended wood floor. There is a noticeable difference in low end from sitting on the couch, to sitting on the floor right in front of the couch - the sub vibrates the couch but not the floor. One can actually "feel" the bass alot better upstairs throught he wood floors than when standing in the same room of the H.T. on the concrete slab floor.

Thanks for your suggestions everyone! Any other sub "tweaks" are welcome!
