Thanks. Thats about what i expected. I dont think i have a problem per se, and i think i have it inetrgated with the mains pretty well, but if i turn the sub volume up too far then the bass overwhelms the sound from the mains and the tonal balance gets too dark/warm. I currently have the volume at roughly one-third of max setting, so your suggestion sound about right. Lower it to say one-fourth of max or maybe a hair lower and then fine tune by ear. My system is mainly for music and i'd rather have a bit too little bass than too much. Reason for adding the second sub isnt for more volume but for smoother balance and better soundstage. I was amazed at what the first sub did for sounstage "realism" for lack of a better word. The room just came alive. Hoping the second sub just improves on that aspect.
