Read his reply, he has asked. Not everyone wants to put up with bass filling their room when they want to relax.

Oh haha

Well unfortunately that is part of living in detached/semi detached houses.
If it's not at unreasonable hours (let's say past 10:30pm on a weekend)  then you should just accept it or put up with it.
They have as much of a right to watch movies as he does to complain.

There a difference between watching a film and watching one at volume. Every now and again yeah but every weekend is a bit annoying. It would ruin that Friday feeling knowing your neighbours are going to start wacking out bass at 7/8pm when I have just put the kids down and want to chill with a book.

I think that he's not quite appreciating how this is affecting you, if his response was "I'm doing all I can, it's the wall's fault". Turn it down or stop using the sub is the correct answer.

Maybe invite him round to see how much it intrudes, so he can see your point of view.
Sideways yo!

Give him some of his own medicine.  but still at a reasonable time of day that he might not like,  then he should appreciate the situation your in.  Eg a 8am sat morning movie day  :happy2:

Keep a detailed diary of anything that you personally consider to be unreasonable. Then write to environmental health.

Correct. In certain cases they will come and install a sound meter.

Alternatively something from the REL range of subwoofers should even things out.  :evilgrin:
