Re: What do you think?


This graph is the best I can do, aside from boosting the frequencies, which I refuse to do. Also, my listening is 99% movies/games and 1% music.

Also, how does the input level affect the output? Right now I have my sub level in my receiver set at -9.5db and the volume on the subs tuned so that they all add up to 77db on my spl. I initially had the level at -7.5db, but I found that the bfd seemed to clip easier. If I raise the reciever's volume to -11.5db, and increase the sub's volume then it didn't seem to clip at my normal listening volume, but I chose to stay at -9.5db on the receiver. The reason I am asking is I want to know if the input level affects how loud the sub will play during a movie as I increase the master volume on the receiver. Does the bfd restrict the maximum db that my subs will produce in room? For example, I watched a scene from a movie and with the subs only playing I got 108db on my spl at -8. When I increased the receiver's volume to -6 I still got only 108db on the spl, shouldn't it have increased?

Thanks
