Begin with the Low Pass Filter set to a mid-point (e.g., 100Hz) and the Volume knob at a low setting. Play a familiar piece of music or movie scene. Gradually increase the Volume until the bass is noticeable but not overpowering. Then, fine-tune the Low Pass Filter and Phase switch to achieve the most natural and integrated sound with your main speakers. The goal is for the subwoofer to enhance the low frequencies without drawing attention to its location.
