Sub Phase Effect


After some quick and dirty REWing, I've tested a few different speaker positions and have, for now, decided on what seems to be the best performance setup. My sub has a 0/180 phase switch, and I've tested the sub's integration with the mains on both settings. The graph below shows the 0 degree setting in red while the 180 setting is purple. I've left the sub on the 180 setting. I don't have any room treatments yet (planned) or a BFD - any suggestions on ways of improving the response? I also experimented with changing the sub distance in my receiver, but it had absolutely no effect on the 180 setting response. I didn't try it at the 0 setting. Is that normal?

I cringe at the thought of doing all these measurements with pen and paper like I first started doing! Thank you REW!
