Every time you raise it by a numbered increment, does it just raise it by a certain # of dbs? Thanks, trying to figure something out!

Depends on the sub but usually not; that is, there is no standard for dB/number. Many AVR controls are calibrated, however.

It's just amplifying the voltage given to it by the pre amp or receiver. Ideally your pre amp has enough voltage headroom that it isn't clipping the output signal which then would send a clipped signal for your sub to amplify. You should ideally try to keep your level on your receiver in the -2 to +2 range and then adjust your sub amplifier knob to get your desired output
If Audessey calibration is used, from what I have been reading, raising the sub knob is NOT recommended after Audessey set up.Quote:
