Audyssey sub settings quick questions before running

[lovinthehd]

The gain/amp is set by a remote and I just keep turning it down until the indicator that was provided above is to the left of the green area where Audyssey wants it.
I have 2 RSL subs, a 12S and 10E. Yes they are different sizes but RSL said they designed them to work together and I confirm they do.

I like William's idea. Maybe just manually set levels on each sub vs using the remote. Maybe even doing a reset on the avr in case it's a glitch.

Are you setting each subs level individually first?

Yes, the first thing Audyssey does is go through the 2 sub levels one at a time. The above green spot it wants the subs. You set one and then the other.

Ok. So what happens if you set them each to be half way into the red on the left? This would only be to see what audyssey does. From what I remember, even though it’s not “in the green”, audyssey will ask if you want to proceed anyway. Select yes and it will still provide accurate EQ settings etc, but will just have the subs at the appropriate level. You can then bump the trim however you’d like. Or start over with the subs closer to the green but still in the red.

When I ran audyssey I was never satisfied with the bass output following calibration but that was the rooms fault not the software. When i was eventually able to do a good acoustical treatment including large bass traps in the corners the calibrations improved but i always gave the bass a boost to suit my personal tastes.
