     also, is your subwoofer turned “on”? We don’t mean “is your sub- woofer amplifier on?” but rather, is your avr sending a bass sig- nal to your sub amp? This can only happen if you say “yes” (or “on”) in the “subwoofer” selection during the setup of your avr’s setup menu.  is your receiver connect...

    But what’s “too high”?? Tastes vary, and do movie soundtracks, but your svs subwoofer is capable of tremendous levels of low distortion, low fre- quency bass — far more than most subs in this size or price class.
