  • Ibealaoke Chukwukeziri Fine-tune the crossover frequency. This determines the point at which the subwoofer takes over from your main speakers. If your main speakers are small, a higher crossover frequency (e.g., 100-120 Hz) may be appropriate. For larger speakers, a lower frequency (e.g., 60-80 Hz) might be better.
  • Usoro: If the bass sounds weak or hollow, try switching the phase between 0° and 180°. The correct setting will result in the most impactful and coherent bass.

Make small adjustments and listen to various types of audio content to find the optimal settings for your room and preferences.
