Rooms have peaks and nulls. Square rooms are notoriously difficult for home cinema sound.

I would play some music with strong bass that you familiar with and sit where you normally would. If the bass is weak of overbearing, move the sub to a different location and try again. The 'subwoofer crawl' works similarly in that the sub is placed in the main listening position, music played and you crawl around the room until the bass sounds best, then mark that spot and put the sub there.

Then run Audessey on the Denon (sub volume at - 10 to - 15) and see what dB the Denon sets the sub to (something around -5db would be a good result). That gives you some headroom if you wanted to turn it up.
