Magnifi max ax sr poor bass?

While i use the my system for the movies it is not a problem but when i want to use it for music, even with music mode and bass boosted to the maximum on the equalizer bass still remains very silent. I would love to boost bass without boosting overall volume levels. I can feel that subwoofer has a lot of power left to play more bass but without increasing volume level it is very low. Not sure if they can improve this with a firmware update?
Only other audio set i had in the past was 'classic' logitech 5.1 speakers set for my PC and i was able to boost there bass a lot so whole house was moving, would like to have such possibility with Polk too.

    Sound tracks in movies have boosted/artificial bass. Music doesn't.

    Room placement has a great deal to do with the quantity of bass any sound system can produce. Try placing the Polk subwoofer close to a wall or corner in the room. This will dramatically increase bass response.

    Thanks for answers, i'v just found the rtings review, and noticed that they say that magnifi max ax sr has Bass Adjustment but no Subwoofer level adjustment and i think this is true core issue that is causing my problem
