Hi Erik,
SAM helps your bass go lower, not louder. Because a lot of bass is in the region around the 40-60Hz you will find that without SAM you can play louder and achieve more 'noticeable' bass. The 20-40HZ region that's not as noticeable asks a lot more from your woofers and SAM will drop the bass to protect them when you crank it up.
The way I see it, when you use SAM then acoustically, you're practically changing your speakers. Because they sound different you should approach them as new speakers and re-do your speaker placement. Some of that extra bass might now reflect from your walls and interfere with your mids and highs.
Good luck. Keep us posted.
Cheers,
Pim
