I hadn't thought of that. All processing should be off when first measuring the sub.

Yes, in support of that idea, I give you this example.

I am a PSB fan, but in A/B comparisons I found the B&W Sub of a similar price much better than the PSB sub. The B&W reached down further and really kicked harder than the PSB - and it was slightly cheaper. Music made the comparison much easier, but HT showed a difference as well. Let me know if you want more info on these two.

I really normally have some great low response. I think the placement (hopefully) has a good amount to do with it, it was the recent placement which threw everything out of wack. I'll get new measurements once it's up there.

I'll double check on audyssey. I think i turned off the EQing effects of audyssey and just left the speaker distances intact.

That was the first shot from simply moving the bugger to the corner. As you can see that's a pretty significant improvement, and a lot more indicative of what i feel during movies.

If only i could get down to the 10-15 Hz range, THEN i'd be in business!

After seeing Jason's new graphs, I'm thinking a Behringer may/should be in my future. Do I need to get a separate microphone with it?

That looks a lot better. It looks like the sub only reaches down to the mid 20s though.

It does indeed. it beats the pants off of 50 Hz though! All just with placement, now I just need to see if there's anything else I can do to tame it a bit and fix the peaks and valleys

That looks a whole lot better Steve. One thing to try is changing variable tuning on the sub. You can also get different results just by moving it a few inches. Did you move your seating position from the middle of the room? You do not want to be seated right in the middle.

I did move my seat up a bit, enough to get back into a good spot I think, because re-running the sweeps was almost identical to how it was from quite a bit closer to the sub. I have the tuning on "max extension," the other option being "max output." since i have my sub turned up to maybe 2 or 3 on the dial I decided output wasn't the priority
