I am actually glad to know that more and more people are learning about subwoofer rather than plonking it in and set the gain high up to produce 'whoompa whooommpa' floor shaking bass while overwhelming other details from speakers.

Very agree.Some type of peoples always like to KEBOOM and shaking neighbours house and the same time overwhelming other details like you say biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
For me subwoofer main tasks is to produce LFE that it must produce.Ngam..ngam..Not to much KEBOOM and not to lack KEBOOM.

Qustion:
I will increase 3db sub level after I have done auto calibration.From what I have read before,auto calibration cannot do accurate sub level compare to others speaker due to LFE. So if soon I want to calibrate using SPL meter,just set to c-weighted slow response and adjust volume level gain at sub until it reach 75db..correct me

Yes I have read about that too.  Apparently Two small sub, properly placed, will sounds better than one single bigger sub in that effect.

If you go to thx.com, they have a simple guide on how to place two subs in THX configuration.  First choice is actually opposing each other in the room. 

For those who are buying new amp, do opt for dual sub pre-out as a feature.  It helps a lot.

Better go for Denon 4810 coz it has 9.3 pre-out. Effectively, 3 sub connections. Yay!
