Hi all,
So I've been really enjoying my month old BIC F12, but I can't help wondering how much I'm pissing off my neighbours.
As the title suggests, I am in a semi-detached home. The worst part (for them) is that the best spot for the sub is in a corner in the basement along the wall that the houses share.
My question....does anyone have any experience or knowledge living attached to someone who owns a sub? I know this is highly subjective....but I really have no idea what they can and can't hear/feel. I know there is a soundproof-ish wall between houses, but not sure how that translates to sub frequencies.
Sometimes at night when I'm watching (last night, How to Train your Dragon) my wife will call down from the bedroom and tell me that the pillows are shaking and politely (sometimes) ask me to turn it down LOL. I feel bad, but...hey! I enjoy it lol. I would feel REALLY bad if the neighbours felt it the same amount. They dont have kids though, so that's a plus, and I almost always turn everything off at 11 pm.
I usually listen to my movies with the receiver volume at 40-45 out of 75. The sub is calibrated properly, it's at -2 dB on the AVR and 4/10 gain on the sub.
Curious to get anyone's input.
Thanks

PS - I know I could just ASK them, but I don't really want to know the answer!! LOL.
