Re: Setup: Have I done it correctly?

Does the way I did my set up of the subs and FBQ make sense or is there a better way? For instance, should I have done the sweeps with both speakers playing at the same time to adjust for a combined frequency response?
I do think it makes sense, but since you're feeding the Velo sub a different voltage waveform on its right channel compared to its left channel, I wonder if it wouldn't be wise to see how it all looks in REW when the three subs along with the ribbons play in concert. There might be some filter adjustments you need to do...

Should I adjust the input level? If so, at what stage should it be adjusted (e.g., prior to doing the AVIA calibration)?
Adjusting the input level usually just involves tweaking the subwoofer trim output on your processor. In your case you have the X-30 with its rather large gain capablities connected before the FBQ. How do you propose to increase the level of the FBQ? If you turn the X-30 up, the three subs and high passed output will increase in a wholesale fashion. What have you accomplished? The X-30 is acting as your bass manager and has removed your capability of discretely controlling what is sent to the FBQ, has it not? Not a big deal though - you are getting 4 LEDS..
