What are the rest of your speakers ( set-Up ) so we can give you advice?? If you have 600 series speakers then the sub should match in timbre and are known to be great for HT.
Are you an HT or Music fan? Is it for stereo use or Multichannel? How did you set up your sub and what is the set up of your Processor with the Sub? We need some input from you to give you an answer.
Hope to hear from you?
Cheers

I have all 4 602.5s3 for main and rear and a lcr60 for the center channel
i have the speaker setup to small on the denon 3805 which i will be upgrading to a rsp-1068/rmb-1075 combo next week. i am about 60 percent home theater 40 percent music. i listen to music in 2ch plus the sub for music, the crossover in the denon i have played with between 100hz and 80 hz i normally run it at 80Hz the sub volume level is about 1/4 of the way up and the lfe is 0db on the denon

I have the asw750 and it was like that as well...not very tight. I would suggest 1st playing with the location of the subwoofer (I moved it away from the corner). I also treated my room with a few acoustic panels and played with my receiver adjustments and it sounds much more tighter now. The quality of the movie/music source also seems to make some slight differences. Play a good quality cd that has a lot of bass and play with the location and settings as a start.

My system
B&W 703
HTM7
DS7
ASW750
Yamaha rxv2600

the sub has 2 line inputs and my receiver has 1 sub out, i currently only use 1 cable going out of my denon to my sub, i threw a Y cable in at the sub so i now use both inputs at the sub and it seems to make a big difference.

i always thought it didnt matter (its mono). i am a bit confused ops:

What is the source of your CD player?? That could be the problem too !! Move your Sub around ,and try and keep it to the side of your room..I mean against the wall ,but in the middle of the room, as sometimes that can fix the problem!! Just suggestions, but do try them ,as they may work for you.

I experienced the same with the ASW675 and the ASW700/750... I believe they're all great for movies, but since I was looking for a more musical sub (i.e. tight bass) I eventuelly went with the Velodyne SPL-1200R. Now that's one tight sub! Looks fabulous aswell (not unimportant...).

I always thought the ASW 750 had very good tight bass. Anyway, that is what a friend of mine has, and I thought it to be very tight and accurate. I have the ASW 855 and 2 of them by the way,so I know what is tight bass ,and the 800 series SUBs have just that ,and very musical with movies or music!!
Sorry, I personally prefered the ASW 855 over any Velodyne sub in any category, and That Is my honest opinion ,and my ears,
Cheers.

I use an ASW800 with my N804 and am very happy with the tightness of the bass - not muddy at all. In fact, if I could find another ASW800 in cherry I would buy it just to have 2. At times I turn off the sub to just listen to the N804 and there is defintiely a difference to be heard.

I have the asw750! And as a drummer and bass guitarist, I know that word TIGHT!! I´m sure that you can get better, but the asw750 is fantastic! :T

I have an ASW750 integrated into a 2-channel system and I'm very pleased with it. Good tight bass.

My only criticism of the ASW750 is the lack of a remote volume control. For good integration it is essential that the volume of the sub is just right. This means adjusting the volume for each new CD or DVD.

I have found that the best integration is achieved by having the sub dead centre between the floorstanders at the same distance from the listening position as the floorstanders.
