Brucek,

I see your point, I'm pretty new to this so I didn't look at it as cutting it 20db in that 45hz-63hz range. I was just trying to introduce a house curve. Do you suggest decreasing the amount of cut I did across the whole frequency range to bring up the levels?

When you say headroom, what exactly am I listening for?

When I re-calibrated the speaker levels after I eq'd the sub I did have to increase the gain on the sub from about 1/3 to just under 1/2. As far as a test I played the depth charge scene from U571, at about -25db on the volume control overall sound was quite loud and the bass was enough I could feel the impact thru the couch and the pictures on the walls were rattling around.

thanks,

Mike
