need help!! extreme bass!!

Agreed.
Should also add that you need to know exactly what frequencies you’re dealing with, and by how much. SPL meter is a bare minimum for the toolbox.

Yeah, I should re-emphasize that I have provided a couple of "quick and dirty" tests to help determine what you are dealing with, and you ( @Rickroll ) can likely make some improvements, but if it is room modes you are dealing with; REW, Umik, and miniDSP are the true way to get the actual facts and get it under control (aside from room crawl/sub placement).
However, I think these Q&D tests will also be useful as stepping stones to become familiar with why you would want to invest the time (learning) and money into the miniDSP/REW system!
That said, you might be lucky, or, not so picky (as long as you are happy, it is good!), and get away with sub crawl and/or manual EQ as a solution!

That is the problem with these calculators - they are generally limited to unrealistically (for many of us) simple boxes.
You can do thing like do the calculation of all permutations (IOW, if your room is 16 feet wide, but has a 6 foot wide opening to the dining room which adds 12 more feet of width, you can run it with widths of 16 then 28, but depending how many such situations you have, it gets unwieldy! And I cannot think of an approach to address the vaulted ceiling!

Yeah, the angled ceiling is hard to deal with. Mine is like 9’ on the left, and 11’ on the right, but the “right” side of my listening room is actually the peak of the ceiling and then drops into the kitchen. Average for cubic feet is easy as the height would be 10’. The hard part is what does the angle do. I’m my mind, the vertical mode gets reflected off the ceiling and sent into the kitchen. More interesting is that my LR is sunken by a foot, and I have a bank of cabinets between the kitchen and LR. And so on...

IMO the 120’s don’t go deep enough
(29hz per crutchfield) for real HT, but I think it’s possible you could benefit from a umik-1 and a minidsp. Square rooms are hard to deal with acoustically and my hunch is you have some serious peaks that audyssey isn’t pulling down for whatever reason. If you can get the peaks to come down, the bass will be overall smoother and in many cases you can actually turn it up, and it still won’t be obnoxious.

Showing your age with thinking the Onkyo has Audyssey

Rofl.
Truth is, I missed what AVR he has. Don’t know how....could definitely be my age. Or that I have kids. Yeah that’s it. Kids!!!

Blame the kids, sell them to science.

Hmmmm. I like this!!! Hell, I should sell myself too!

What's the going rate I wonder?

 

[William Lemmerhirt]

Lol!!! Definitely LESS for me than my kids.

Yeah I figured as much....rather than the whole, our best bet might be in parting us out!

Man you got that right! Some of my parts aren’t with much at all...others though! Lol
