You know, I'm not sure on that one, but I believe all bass is affected, to all speakers including the sub. What I'm not certain about is whether the LFE portion is modified as well. I'll have to try it out on my system this evening and get back to you.
If anyone else knows, please chime in.
....it's doubtful the surround receiver market would add what is not really necessary, JGarcia, I don't know, but let's go with "maybe', the sub's reinforcement raises also....have your wife raise the bass tone control/compensation to the mains regiment, and stick your head right in front of the sub's firing, and ye' shall know, haha....you won't like it, and she won't look different later, haha.....
.....I say again, if this is the case, raising the bass of the mains regiment to "acceptable-with-the-sub-turned-off", and the bass tone control is 3' oclock OR above, once again, "without the sub", you're probably going to hear whompy-mud when you kick that sub in....
.....I am going to trust the posts that have said, let the sub do it's job.....
.....whether it be realism concussion cut at 40 with groups, or chest slamming bass guitar at 70, CRANKED, haha, once you elevate in mains regiment speakers that are, I'm going to say, "more", flat top to bottom, bass and treble, the more you'll want them that way....the highs are hardest to resolve, though, and you'll probably give that treble-raise up last....but that's with subssssssssssssss, arf........
