There is a s/w level control on the lower half of the remote. Press the right arrow until desired level. I have mine at the max; 8. I to was slightly disappointed at the volume, however, I found that moving the subwoofer to a different location made a huge difference. I have the port facing one wall and the sub the other in the corner of my home. I also found a noticeable difference when facing the port to the open room. When you disconnect the sub, you will notice how much it really puts out. If you are looking for ground shaking bass, this is not the system for you. It's enough to enjoy theater quality sound.Hope this helps. There is a s/w level control on the lower half of the remote. Press the right arrow until desired level. I have mine at the max; 8.

Hey Marc, as Roger pointed out, the level control on the remote is what can help plus placement. We hope this helps you.

I have the same problem. The sound is so low and I have the volume up as far as it will go . I bought this for my porch and I do not use it because I can't hear it. I will send it back.

The soundscape has a fixed crossover on its LFE output. Connect the sub to this and turn off the crossover on the back of the sub. I added a sub also - it helps for loud rumbly effects.

Unfortunately, the unit I got didn't allow separate control of subwoofer volume, and it's pretty strong. The speakers on the bar are the best speakers I've ever owned, and the sub volume hasn't been too much of a problem. I unplug it when I'm using the bar when someone is asleep upstairs.

All you have to do is turn the volume down to zero. It will not come back up by itself and will not interfere with you surround sound system.

i sold this sub. incredibly awesome sub. and i kinda had your problem. you have to fine tune the sub with your receiver. distance settings, double bass setting if you have it. basically have your receiver get all the bass to go to the sub and amplify the sub through the receiver as well. if your not using a receiver, then your doing it wrong bro. otherwise just mess around with the settings on BOTH sub and receiver to find the perfect sound.

I don't think you understand how this works. You use the level control to get the output to match the level of your main speakers, not to set overall loudness. So where you set it has to do with the rest of your set up.

Same answer as others. Dont see the point in changing them, what you could do is buy a subwoofer that would give you an incredebly sound. Good luck!

yea use the control and on the sw button which is subwoofer lower all the way down to desired bass sound, I tend to keep it at a 2 or 4 max since it has a loud bass to it

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".

You need to buy the Sub Woofer for your system. You should also contact Bose for recommendations, but there are differences on each Acousimass System.

If your subwoofer has speaker-level (high-level) inputs you may connect the left and right channels from your amplifier to those inputs. You will still have to connect them to your speakers to have all the frequencies of sound. If it has one LFE input you have to use the SW preout from your amplifier, you cannot use the left and right channels

There is an adjustment for volume in the speaker function. Just push the speaker function and adjust the volume using the up and down arrows.

Yes the subwoofer has a level control wich is the volume control. If you turn the level control nob the sub gets louder. Also has crossover nob and line level or lfe inputs. Hope this helps you. Btw the subwoofer is great. Give it a try you will not regret it

Is the subwoofer working and correctly hooked up? If your still not getting sound try setting your main main speakers to small and the crossover to 80hz in the receiver speaker setup menu and subwoofer should say yes next to it. If your speakers are set to large subwoofer should say "plus" next to it on the menu.

I have yamaha powered subwoofer.Makes me feel like I am at the movies. SPll are great speakers but a sub will give you thunderstorm sound. Just check if you have a sub out on your system.

Wire your speakers normal. But drop the resistance on the sub. It should push it no problem
