Home Entertainment system 2022 to 2023
Welcome to my new home Entertainment System for mid to late 2022 I sold my 7.2 Sony Muteki and went all Sonos this time around.
The main reason why I went Sonos is you can control the entire system via your iPhone,
it was funny when I went to JB HI-FI I told the sale’s man I wanted x2 Gen 3 Subs and x1 Arc the said are you shore you really want
X2 subs? I said yep he was shocked I said what is the power output of the sub because I love to feel the bass, he replied it will make the walls shock.
I thought to my self really people always say that we couldn’t test in store because the software the store used was limited then I ask can I adjust
The sub volume separate from the overall volume? As it was my 1st Sons system he said you should be Able to.
They only had x1 gen 3 sub in stock so we had to wait for the 2nd gen 3 sub to come in.
When we got home we set the Arc and x1 sub up and play some bass songs via YouTube my mate and I both said WTF were is the bass I had the volume on 60 to 70
We bother like the sales person was full of shit house was shacking my ass.
I adjusted the bass EQ put it to +8 the bass was still shit then my mate found a guy Peter Pee on YouTube thanks to him we learned all about Sonos.
He went through everything he show all the sound settings then I checked my sons app and found the sub volume it was set to 0 so I cracked it to +15
And holy shit I said we found the magic button I could feel the bass in my Wheelchair and that’s just 1 subs.
When I got the 2nd sub it sounded way better and even bass that’s why I want x2 subs in the 1st place for even bass.
Here are my current settings I use for movies. But when im playing music the only Thing I change is the sub volume from +4 to either +10 or +15 depending on the type of song.
here are some pic’s of my setup i will add more as i update it:
I will put pics up showing what my setting I use for movies, If i’m playing music i just turn the Sub Audio to ether +10 or +15 depending the type of song.
Here is a google doc link with all my Movies on my NAS (always being updated) (last updated December 8 2024)
