Sub seems to not get louder with volume increase. It seems to be overpowering at low volume or boomy then as you increase volume the front main speakers seem to take over.

Try adjusting the frequency cut off of the sub and also play with the gain control on the sub. Turn your system up to where your front speakers are sounding as you like. Then try adjusting the sub to match the fronts so you have a good balance and blend.

    I wanted to add that you may not be able to get a perfect match at low and at higher volumes due to differences in speaker efficiency. Some speakers need to have more or less power to them for them to sound good. So try getting the balance that sounds good by adjusting your controls on the sub and on your amp.

What r the best settings for a Power Acoustic PEQ-73 7Band passive eq, electronic crossover, sub woofer level control

Depends on your room, speakers being used, size of sub woofer, amp set up ect.
There is no "best setting" for every application. If that was the case a variable control would not be needed.

Some rooms are boomy, which would lead you to turn down low freq's. Some rooms are very splashy, in which case high will need to come come down. Some rooms are very dead in either lows or highs, in which case those freq's would need to be increased.

To get a baseline on what your rooom is like send some pink noise through your system and analyze it with a RTA. (real Time Analizer) There are free apps you can use on your phone or pro audio products that do a very good job. With pink noise being pushed through the system you will see what freqencies are naturally louder or softer in your room. Then you can adjust that real time on your eq and see the changes.

This will set your room to a flat response, however lots of people don't like that sound and want more punch,growl, or clarity. In that case simply adjust the low, mids or highs to your own listening preference

Tip for your home theater system: tweak your subwoofer level and crossover...

An important tip regarding your home theater system is to Tweak subwoofer-level and crossover controls:
Test tones and meters aren't the final arbiters in the bass department. If your sub's bass is boomy, thick, or uneven, first try lowering its volume --most people complain that their sub louder than necessary. Next, if your satellites are very small, the crossover control should also be set to its midpoint or higher. Bigger speakers produce more bass on their own, so they sound best with the sub's crossover knob set at or near the bottom of its range. Finally, moving the sub out of the corner and closer to one of the front speakers may produce smoother, flatter bass.

Volume keyboard

Go into function and look for the volume setting for your main voice - could be R1. This will give a numeric value of 127 or less. It sounds like you need to increase it, try 100 as that is usually sufficient.

Nokia 6303ci -low speaker level.Volume bar-on max.After clean -same.Someone told me that for this model is normal low speaker level,but I don`t think so.

If the original recording is on low volume then you will get louder sound on the player device while if the recording is at high volume the you get low levels on player. try recording at lower volume settings on the phone. Then when you play it it will sound louder on increased volume.

What settings to put on Rockford fosgate Prime 250.1? one P1 12 4 Rockford Fosgate speaker, in atrend LSV 12 vented box. With JVC radio that has the sub woof, MID. What is MID and what setting to put it...

Need to know what JVC deck you are referring to so I can give you optimal settings. Mid is the mid-range of frequencies... ones that are sent to your door speakers' woofers, not the sub-woofer. So set that to whatever you feel sounds best, probably low in my opinion. Subwoofer set it as loud as you want, it depends on what kind of music you listen to. If you want your bass to be "boomy" then set it high. If you want it tight and crisp set it low.

Auto adj is auto adjustment for when you turn the sound louder it increases all settings accordingly. I always recommend putting that on 5 so if you ever want to crank it - the whole system gets cranked.

Thanks, let me know if you have any questions or concerns, just reply to my answer here and I will be right back with you.

By attaching amplifier with speakers and dont attach woofer there is increase in volume or not? my audiio system model no. KDR-506AND MY SPEAKER MODEL NO. 6922

No, it night seem like it because there will not be any low fequency noise from the sub to match. But, if your bass overpowers the rest of the sound you will need to put an external amp to your mids/tweets

Volume stays low won't increase

Your volume limit on your ipod is probably set low. To check it, go all of the way to the ipod's main menu and go to settings. Then go to volume limit and put it where you would like it to be if it is too low. Then go back to your music and play it. Turn the volume up to your liking and it should work and play louder.
