Hey Shacksters,

I've just helped a buddy put in a JL Audio F113--his room is 24' D x 12' W x 9' (sloping toward to the front down 8" from 16' back). He has an 8' opening on one side into a large family room which has the stairs going to the main floor and the rest of the basement (i.e., very leaky).

With the F113 placed in the front L corner (next to the side wall toe'd in slightly and forward from the front wall about 2'), we ran the auto calibration with the supplied mic and it kept flashing that the volume was too low. So, we finally had to have it just a touch off max level (about 5:30 on the dial where 12 is half-way).

It sounds great--especially Jurassic Lunch and chapt. 12 on the Island, but I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing in the setup which is causing the sub level to be maxxed like this.

Help much appreciated!

Thanks,
Phil
