OK. I have almost EQ'd my sub to my mains. However, my amp is maxed out and my BFD lights up the red lights up sporadically (input level) at a reasonable loud listening volume for me on "Darla Taps the Glass". I will usually listen at lower levels, but I would like to be able to crank it up to this level or a little higher every once in a while. I could use a just a few more dBs for my sub level, but I don't want to clip the BFD. My receiver sub output level is at "0" on a -10 to 10 scale.

If I switch the level on the BFD from -10 to +4, does that give me a little more headroom? Or am I not thinking straight?

I am some very large cuts in the upper frequencies because of the large hump in my un EQ'd IB response. Maybe this is why I need more juice compared to people with standard subs?

Thanks,
Pete
