I've a 8040 5.2 setup - very low Bass audible at my seating position (Room - 22(L)x14(W)x8(H)). Subs can't be moved - any ideas how to fix this issue?

I have not had this problem. Position of the speakers in the room makes a difference, close to a wall or corner can affect the amount of bass reflected. Def Tech has allowed for this and placed a knob in the back towards the bottom that allows you to decrease the amount of bass of each individual enclosure. Other than this, you would have to decrease the bass output from your receiver.

Vikas, you don't mention what you're using for receiver or surrounds. My setup is approximately the same give or take a foot and the bass is not problem. I'm using the Def Tech 1000 surrounds and a Pioneer SC-1523 Receiver.

Something is wrong. You should have to cut the bass down. What type of AVR receiver are you using?
1552691
I don't know what type of reciever you have). Most of the new ones onkyo and yamaha provide you with an app that automatically sets up the room for you. There is i believe a cd that does the same.

Vikas, like others that have responded this is a very odd situation. Did you your Audio Calibration Mike to set up your system? Not familiar with the Yamaha setup but generally when you go through the setup you get an opportunity to accept or change crossovers, distance, volume, etc. and did you notice any difference during setup in the bass sound between the left and right speakers. I did a test based on your scenario since our rooms are about the same configuration and did not notice a discernible difference in the sound. One last question, are your speakers set to large or small (mine are set to large). It's very hard to do remote trouble shooting but hope this helps.

No. The speaker is on the bottom of the enclosure, however don't worry that it will not project the sound. Just stick this subwoofer in a corner of a room and it will fill the room with bass. I am very satified with mine!

If you're still having issues, you should probably give more details. For example: what receiver are you using? and what are your subwoofer settings on the receiver set to?

I have no clue but i haven't tried that. Be sure to adjust your audio settings from the device (Pc, phone, tablet or laptop) first then adjust the subwoofer. It still sounds good for the price.

You should let the subs burn in for about a month and it will start to sound better. Twelves are really meant for low frequency bass and in my opinion sound best when playing frequencies below 150 hz. I set mine for 100 hz down. Eights are better for mid-bass frequencies, but my twelve got much better the older it got.

I have a powered sub also and am using the LFE.btw...I did some experimenting with the Speaker Settings because i actually have small bookshelf speakers for my surround setup (Energy CB-10 frt and Polk r30 back). So I set the Speakers to Small for the front and back and the Sub defaulted to 'Normal' (I think that's what it said) and it sounds much better now. Hope this helps.

First check your computer setting for the card and then you can also adjust the volume of the bass with the knob on the back on the unit. hope that helps

Yes, the sub-woofer is down firing. The sound bar will fill a room but there is a sweet spot when sitting in front of it.

I have the same setup as you mentioned. I used a splitter thinking I would be achieving a fuller sound. Sounds great to me. Good luck. Bill

I have mine connected to a Denon X-2000 and have no issues with bass. May be the source. Did you use Audyssey? I have a sub connected as well but the speakers alone have a very nice range (highs and lows). Breakin time always helps but you should hear the bass from dual 8's. Sorry I can't help further.

ChrisI have the same situation, the sub is in the far corner of my combined kitchen / family room, to the far left of my TV and sound bar. The location in the room makes no difference as far as I can tell. In fact the setup menu lets you adjust the sub for location, but I just leave it on the default which sounds great.I am planning to get on remote speaker to sit behind me in the kitchen so I will have full surround sound.Good luck to you!

It sounds like you shouldn't run Audyssey with Bose speakers. Just go through the tone test and try to level out the output. Then adjust to ear. The bass module isn't a true subwoofer so there may be problems there. Also, Bose is rather...um, proprietary about their products, so it doesn't surprise me to see the speakers don't "play well with others".

Surrounds aren't designed to carry a ton of bass. Just enough to fill their role as a "surround". Your front/subs should be carrying the bass load. Since bass is non-directional, it is projected everywhere. Mids and highs are directional and the human ear can locate them easily as they should. Go to a theater with a decent sound system and you shouldn't be able to locate where the bass derives from but the mids and highs are easily pinpointed.

I believe it is down firing. I found that the subwoofer needs to be near the soundbar- I tried putting it behind my couch and it just sounded weird. I have it right below the TV and it sounds much better there.

Not necessarily, should be placed where the bass Output is most pleasing to your seating arrangement. Experiment with location to take advantage of the room's acoustic response. Check the internet for hints on subwoofer placement for much more and better advice than there is room for here...

It's a wireless subwoofer. Place it anywhere in the room to improve the sounds quality.....more specifically the low bass sounds.

i felt the same way, but i think it has to do with the source. i tried listening to spotify thru mine and there was very little bass, i felt disappointed. but then i watch a movie with dts and the room was shaking. its not as powerful as a dedocated sub, but it has some power if the source provides it
