Re: Cut or Boost? How Much


I think I got it. I raised the gain knob on my sub from a quarter turn to about a third and remeasured with REW. Here are the graphs of the initial (unfiltered) response and then the final one with the filter. (This is with a 5dB house curve from 30 to 100Hz)

However, after I applied the filter and checked the level of the fronts versus the sub with Avia DVD, the sub was about 4 dB lower. So I raised the gain knob on the sub to just shy of halfway and the levels matched. Did I do that correctly? I didn't think I needed to touch the signal from the receiver, as to that would mean I would need to REW the whole thing over again.

Here are the graphs:
