I using YAMAHA RX-V467 AMP.

I go to MENU->SPEAKER SETUP->CONFIG->SWFR (i actually MAX the sub vol in my AMP).

I select Music setting. The sound is very clear for vocal. Is just the BASS is not SOLID enough.

I using normal RCA cable.

I had this sub last time, there's nothing wrong with the settings, the sub is a bit too polite and driven hard will cause it to distort and vibrate. If you want a better sub, go for Velodyne CHT series.

izzit Velodyne CHT-10 ? approximately how much ?

For the Yamaha YST-SW315 i need to turn it nearly max only have the "punching" bass sound i need. Haizz...

Some more, from 0-140KHZ for me like no different

Put the Sub in the corner of the room

Ok, so your sub lacks the "solid" sound you want. First you have to determine if it could be the sub itself (i.e. not high performance enough) or your placement.

A sub is not "plug and play". To get the best out of a sub you have to experiment with placement. Please check out some of the articles on sub placement/positioning on the net. Then experiment with moving your sub around. Like azbro suggested try putting the sub in a corner (this helps to boost output).

If after some experimentation your sub still not giving you what you need, then perhaps it's time to upgrade to a better sub.

ic.. for Movie this kind of Sub sound is ok.

For music i really hope that the bass sound like BMB speaker XD. Solid and heart beating enough.

I believe that your source of audio / music also affects your audio / music quality.

Hi Azxel those sources u meant is Cable ?

I found out down firing is not really that powerful too.

I think azxel meant is whether you are playing music from bluray, CD, mp3, flac, etc. As you know some are lossless, some are lossy.

Personally, while there is some difference I think those differences are minor (or maybe I don't have golden ears like others ).

As for down firing sub, there are many threads about this on other forums:
