Ask them what they did to set it up. If they did nothing more than just a calibration using a SPL meter that's probably not enough. You really have to experiment with room placement, and do a lot of subjective tests with real source. Even if a sub is calibrated, it can still be far from optimal. Proper sub setup is somewhat involved.
