I did that once too to smooth the XO point - worked for me too. Shhhh - don't tell any of those other guys - you know how they are! Anyway, enjoy the new toys. Thanks Mr. Zing!

Your suckage increaseth exponentially! Did you get any tips from Tom V. regarding the distance between the face of the woofer/driver (on one side) and the nearest wall? Could you explain your "cascaded crossovers"?

Re: Decisions, decisions ... Denon 3313 or Marantz 6007 or O For future reference/FYI guys, here's a fix for those bad HDMI boards - older models but may work for newer ones too. Only a few $ for you DIY'ers...

Yes, I got the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 preamp and the Dayton EMM-6 mic. The setup works very well with the REW program. My computer is a Lenovo Thinkpad W520 w/Windows 7 64bit. The learning curve wasn't bad either. The REW forum can answer any questions that come up but the program is amazing...

Beautiful job Jam!

For starters, it depends on whether you want the light to "wash" the wall or not - i.e. position close to the wall so it puts a lot of light on the wall or farther out so it just shines on what's below it. Other considerations would be symmetrical locations on the room ceiling, etc.

Thank you Tom

Yeah, I wasn't clear on "overlapping" either. Not sure how you'd configure eqpt to do that anyway unless you set receiver to send bass to both the spkrs & the sub and then set the sub's XO higher than the spkrs.......... Anyway, my understanding is that (like you said) it wouldn't fix a null...

Zing - you might be interested in reading this article I found - pretty comprehensive info, 3 pages on sub setup. Much of it supports what we already know, but it goes into a more detail than what I've read before. http://www.hifizine.com/2011/06/bass-integration-guide-part-1/ Too bad...

My room is about 14.5' wide by 21' long, avg ceiling ht about 10'. The back of the room has one large opening to the dining room, another to the entryway, and another to a hallway. The size of the room seems to be a good fit for my sub according to articles I've read, but the openings I...

Very kind of you Mr Zingster. If you don't mind me asking why are you replacing it? Not enough oomph or just a bad case of upgrade-itus? Why 2 subs? To balance out the response in your room?

Some current sub mfrs like Power Sound advertise that they have amps with DSP. Does anyone know if this actually improves a sub's performance? From PSA: "DSP amplifier is specifically programmed to produce an unsurpassed transient response to minimize ringing and one note bass" Also, have the...

Yikes!! :happy-smileygiantred: :eusa-clap:

Hmm.... deep South Texas.......... Illegals tunneling under your house maybe?

Any utility power lines & their transformers near your house? Any of those capacitive "touch" on/off lamps in the house? Any electronic lamp dimmers in the house? You might try shutting off circuit breakers one at a time to see if it's coming from one of the house circuits.... Also, as DIY...

Keep this up and Batman will want to swap caves with you! :handgestures-thumbup:

Have you tried changing the aspect - Full vs H-fill vs Just etc. to see which one works best?

Have you calibrated it with DVE or a similar disc?

In a dedicated HT or listening room where you turn all the lights off, speakers can be f'n ugly or beautiful, but who cares about the appearance if you can't see 'em? In a living room, however, where the lights are rarely all off (at night) and which is used for other purposes, which would...
