I love the subwoofer&acute;s power, but is there any way to control the intensity of the bass that blares out of it? Don't want to disturb nearby neighbors.

Short answer, no. Not manually. Depending on what you have these hooked up to you'd need an equalizer app or program to turn the bass down. I have these hooked up to my PC and Android phone and both have an app called Viper4Android / Viper4Windows that can control the bass output. But most music players like iTunes and Windows Media Player have built in Equalizers that you can turn the bass down with.

The bass is OK but you are definitely not getting the same lows as a subwoofer will provide. For me however this is preferable, as I don't think my neighbors would enjoy resonating bass. If you don't have that problem, I would recommend a subwoofer if you really want the full bass sound.

Absolutely no problem here. There are two knobs you can use to control volume, the volume control and the master control. What really disturbs the neighbors when it comes to music is actually the bass. Lots of people (ie kids) love to have the bass so that it vibrates the entire room, and this vibration can really carry ... especially if you're living in an apartment where there is someone living above or below you. This amp has lots of control and I think you would enjoy it immensely.

Rich, it is also going to depend on whether you have EQ control on your mixer. If you do and you are using the high pass filter, you are in a lot better position because you can cut back or extend your bass with your EQ knob. Sub is not as affected when your crowd shows up because the lower frequencies pass right through the people for the most part. I set EQ bass at middle and then put sub's volume where it sounds great for the space. Then I can use EQ to subtract bass in the early evening and ramp it up as the older guests (who are the most sensitive to bass) leave the party and the younger crowd really wants to jump. If no EQ on your mixer I would place the sub in a location where you can manually adjust volume as the evening progresses. -Nicholas (aka DJ Chester Chomp) AnchorageDJs.com

Wow that actually sounds like you have an awesome speaker setup. The only thing I could say, and this happened to me, when you turn up the volume it obviously makes your bass bigger which can make your speaker wires shake and touch each other which will throw it to protect mode....check it out and let me kno

Yes u can control the sub-woofer. There is a button on the top when depressed u can have a lot of Bass or not so much. I have mine on the not so much bass and it is plenty of bass. In the more bass it rumbles to much and is a bit over powering. The unit should come with a remote control u can change settings from your chair. Remote control is very fragile so if u buy a new unit take care of the control. Once set use your vol. control for the TV. I love my VIZIO sound bar great unit makes all the difference in the world in the sound. Especially if TV is not mounted to the wall. The speakers on most all HD TV"S are on the back side that redirect the sound off of the wall.

As with any speaker, you can only turn it down. If you have a weak source, you'll need to amp before it gets to subw.But I see no such control with the zvox for sub-output. There is bass vol up/down on remote. Only mention on topic I saw: The ZVOX suggests you turn down its own bass and set the crossover on the sub.

No, there is no bass control. There is only one volume control on the speakers.

Using some sort of audio manager (I use Realtek HD Audio Manager) also since the is a built-in bass controller for the sub there is no need for bass control through software unless tweaking for movies, music, etc...

everyones answer is wrong, this system has a built-in EQ that automatically adjusts the bass even when you turn it all the way down, this is so you get the best sound no matter what but it does make it a little bad when you wanna keep things down at night and want zero bass lol. it even says it in the description "Dynamic, real-time bass equalization maximizes bass response while minimizing distortion" ive been trying to find a way to snuff the bass out at the spot where all the speakers connect but i havent figured anything out

Hello, you can't disconnect it but there is a dial to turn the sub intensity up or down. It is located on the speaker so it's convenient.

Probably worth buying a more advanced subwoofer.... Thought mine was but unfortunately my RCA connection to my subwoofer did not work so I tried connecting my subwoofer to my two front speakers. Don't know if that is the proper way but that thing is delivering a thumping bass

Yes, in fact, you can set the subwoofer so it only engages at certain low-frequency volumes.

I havent tried that but i can tell u that SB16 had awsome sound for its price... Like how u can adjust sub and store it separate... Pretty loud and no distortion.. Am currently looking into buying another one once they go on sale... The sub is 100watts hope it answers ur question

Do you hear any sound or no sound at all from subwoofer? Check if accidentally you changed the mode to "Night Mode", in this mode there is very low sound from sub.

There is an input to bypass the amp called "speaker level input" but that would really take away the nice part of this speaker. I would try to get a line level output from the mixer if possible and use the subs power

The only solution i found was to put a bit of electrical tape on the holes on the top of the unit, it muffles the sound a bit. But it is still too loud for my tastes.
