Subwoofer placement in the room is probably the problem. Many years
ago, I had a friend who used Altec theater systems with a 400 watt
Crown amplifier. He complained about the lack of bass at his
listening position ... which it turned out, was in a null. At other
room locations, the bass levels were so high they were intolerable.

To find your best subwoofer location, first place the subwoofer at
your listening position. Then, while feeding it a low frequency
signal, walk around the room, listening along the walls, at the height
the sub woofer would be, either by ear or with an SPL meter, for the
loudest location. Then relocate your subwoofer to that location, and
you should have the problem solved.
