Volume level increase after a year +?

I am curious did anyone sub's volume level increase over time, from the initial SPL setup? The increase is significant (from 11 to 20) on a max of 30 scale (Velo DD-15), so I am curious. I thought something is wrong with the sub, but everything else is fine, so it's a bit disconcerting on the "why and how" part. TIA.
I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    It's a little known fact that Velo subs have little gnomes that live inside each and every sub they sell.. they must have gotten dead **** drunk and forgot they raised the volume level.

    Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa! ;)

    Did you change the cross-over in your receiver or subwoofer?

    no, which is a good point, though. I had tinkering with both cross-overs setting, from the pre/pro and the sub itself. Right now, I let the pre/pro set at 80 and turned off the sub setting.

    the new (higher) volume level was the result of recalibrating the sub level, since I upgraded the firmware to version 2.2.0 which wiped out the old settings.

    Actually, this time around, the result is better, the sub blends a lot better with the front speaks.
