How should i set my surround sound speakers to get the best bass?

I have an Insignia 6.1 Channel receiver with 5 RCA 80 watt speakers and 1 RCA 80-100 Watt Subwoofer. I want to know how i can set these up for the best possible bass. I have messed around with the settings a little bit and i know i can change all of the speakers from a -10 to a +10 I am wondering how i should set these for the best bass. I have tried to turn all of the speakers down but the subwoofer, but the sound that comes through the speakers is distorted. Any help would be appreciated =)

You'll have to look in the "Insignia" owner's manual to figure this one out...But ALL home theater receivers have a special set-up menu...The section of the menu you're looking for refers to the SIZE of your speakers.

You can set your 5 speakers to "LARGE" or "SMALL"...And you can set your Sub-woofer to "YES" or "NO"...This doesn't refer to actual SIZE...It decides where the BASS gets played.

If you set the Sub-woofer to "YES" and the all the speakers to "SMALL", you'll get better bass...Also, the Sub-woofer itself has it's own VOLUME control on it (usually).

Also, try placing the Sub-woofer in different corners of the room...You'd be surprised that moving a the sub a few inches can make it twice as loud as before...But move it around and play with it...Find the best bass possible.
