new subwoofer help

[ssf]

the thing hapeening is that if i sit on my chair my usual place i cant hear bass but when i sit on floor just in front of my subwoofer its deep bass wtf is happening?

Did you place your first mike position where you sit on your chair at ear level ? If not, start from there and place the other positions relative to this position. Check the levels set and let us know. With the receiver and speakers that you have, you will get the sound that you are looking for. Get the basics right and then you can tweak the sound to your liking with the numerous features available in your AVR.

I guess you are doing something wrong while calibrating. I had a PC 2000 and it was good for movies.
Assuming your room is small to medium, the subwoofer is very much capable of doing what it is supposed to do.
I would suggest you to read about the basic Audyssey calibration and do it from start. It is not that tough and meant for laymen like us. You may need to do your research on the net and do it patiently. Repeat it till you are satisfied.

I did sub crawl today and put it on tmright corner deep bass is now good but mid bass is lacking

Audyssey Dynamic EQ​

Audyssey Dynamic EQ® solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ® works in tandem with Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 to provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level

I have a feeling that the Front L and R speaker distance is wrong. You would need a good volume to feel mid bass. Besides, Old SVS are not good in midbass region. Not sure of the Pro version. For this budget its either deep bass or midbass. Its hard to get both. SVS is good in deep bass and Ascando is good in Midbass compared to SVS.

Mostly the front speaker distances may be wrong or try inverting the phase behind the subwoofer to see if it is ok. Also double check the + & -ve wire connections behind your speakers and amp so the phase is proper and not inverted.
Do your calibration late at night with fans/Ac/fridge etc off. Take a camera tripod if possible to mount the mic with the narrow tip facing the ceiling.

The mic should be atleast around 6 inches away from the walls to avoid reflections.
While calibrating for the subsequent positions, the mic position should not be more than 2 feet from the last position measurements taken.
Keep subwoofer level around 50% approx volume or as prompted on the screen by Audyssey.
After calibration, you may need to manually tweak the volume levels of all the speakers/subwoofer as per your preference. Keeping the sub very close to corner walls may make it sound boomy.

Boomy is when the bass is not tight & generally the room is the cause. Take the sub a little away from the walls to avoid reflections and adjust the volume to your comfort level.
Would suggest you to read about the frequently asked questions (FAQ) at the Audyssey site.

for any budget, if a sub is capable of deep bass, it should be able to do midbass without breaking a sweat.

Deep bass or lows like 25hz(without audible distortion) comes at a price. In most of the case if a speaker or a subwoofer is doing good with lower bass but sounds hollow with midbass, it has more to do with the room modes creating a null at the listening spot than speaker itself having a problem. For example my kef floorstanders as per measurement, and their own white papers should have flat bass until 35hz. However in my room I had a huge null at 48hz and the kick drums lacked impact. After playing with the ports and trying out placing acoustic foams at various spots in the room, at one spot I hit gold, suddenly bass sounded quite thick full and impactful. But my previous speakers before the KEF, sounded just fine without any adjustment either the foams in the same spot.

The way in which different speakers interact with the room is different. Every time when we change something in the room we need to play with placement or acoustics in the room to get it right. To some extend we can use eq, but that totally depends on the driver or the box can handle any boost we provide them.

The subwoofer can be tuned for low bass or midbass. One has to sacrifice for the other unless you have a very good budget. There is the reason why REL sounds so good even though it doesn't go lower. Because it is tune to mid-bass. I am not a subwoofer expert. The live PA woofers are great in midbass but don't go necessarily low

May be the room modes and phasing issues. Did you try changing the front speaker distance?

I cant move as have no space
