Last attempt at this....SPL of your sub vs. mains

[jamhead]

OK. Last time. If this doesn''t work, computer is out the window (''cause it aint my fault I can''t figure this out /idealbb/images/smilies/9.gif).<BR><BR>Using your Rat. Shack meter and cal. disk, what SPL level do you have your sub calibrated to when compared with your other speakers. (What does the meter say- forget about corrections, etc.)

[jamhead]

OK. I think it''s working. Woo-hoo!<BR><BR>Well, after a mind-boggling event like that, I think I need a beer!

I run mine pretty hot. I am going from memorie but if I remember right mine is roughly 5-10 DB''s higher.<BR><BR>

[jamhead]

Wow. 5-10dbs hot! And you''re using RF7''s too!<BR><BR>How''s music sound with that? I guess if your crossover is set to 40hz, you''re not getting much out of the sub with 2 channel (CD material), correct?<BR><BR>I run mine about -1db. Running mains as small, crossover at 90hz (damn yamaha, I''d like to try 60hz for the mains and 80 for the center/surrounds).<BR><BR>So far, it seems I''m running mine shy of others here.<BR><BR>C''mon people, let''s see how everyone''s running theirs.

Your right, not as much info on most 2 channel below 40hz, but there is some that surprise me sometimes. The movies though....thats when it gets fun. I thought I had my windows rattle treated.....but last night we watched IRobot and I discovered they arent even close to being rattle proof./idealbb/images/smilies/9.gif<BR>

My sub is the same level for SACD/DVDA playback sense my pioneer 578a has weak bass output and with adjusting the gain structure on my componets I really can''t boost the bass any. <BR><BR>Other than using direct mode on my reciever, my sub runs about 1 to 2 dBs hot.
