I recently changed amps and had to recalibrate my subs for a different gain factor. I did so by ear and it sounded good with a solid, tuneful bass.
While watching a movie with the processor in the mix, but the subs connected to the preamp secondary outputs as the mains amp, it didn't rumble, I thought it was going to take down the room.
For grins, I got out my sound meter and Stereophile test tones and worked the bass down to be in line with the main speaker levels. I was nearly twice as loud as I should have been. It also sounded a bit too polite for rock and roll. And the explosions on TV didn't wake my up any more.
