Subwoofer crawl is the top choice when it comes to calibrating your new sub.I am in to HT for a long time and have used multiple subs but not once i have done it. So out of curiosity i decided to give it a shot. Without the subwoofer crawl i have already calibrated my sub. As i have my HT set up on my Bedroom i some times watch sitting in my bed or on a bean bag placed on top of the bed. So i tried in both ways ie with the sub placed on the seating position on both the bed and the bean bag. I played some action scenes and some music but when i crawled in all the possible positions where i can place my sub,all the positions sounded the same. And also the bass sounded very week and flat and at some scenes couldn't feel the presence of the subwoofer. So whats wrong here? And also it raised few doubts as well. For example I blindly place the sub at one spot, run audyssey and then do the sub crawl method. Audyssey will calculate the sub distance from your seating location with the sub volume knob set to 50%. So here while doing the sub crawl method do i need to reduce the volume or keep it in 50%.
 
- Disable Audyssey (because it is already configured for compensating the standing waves generated from your original position)
- Set sub to 50% and move to listening position
- do your crawl thingie and move the sub to newposition
- Re run audyssey to optimise for new position
 
The subwoofer crawl is designed to help you (subjectively) find the relatively best place for the sub in your room. So, volume levels ought not to matter.
Ok
- Disable Audyssey (because it is already configured for compensating the standing waves generated from your original position)
- Set sub to 50% and move to listening position
- do your crawl thingie and move the sub to newposition
- Re run audyssey to optimise for new position
Ok will try this method next time
