Oops, my bad. Did adjusting the sub phase or distance help reduce the dip?

P.S. Just realised you're in Oakville!
Ok, I played around with it again on the weekend and here is where I ended up:

Sub only - BFD Filters on:


Mains only - no filters


Mains and Sub - BFD filters on, Pre/Pro Notch filters on, phase at optimal


I thought it looked pretty good, so I did a bunch of listening tests primarily with movies. And while it sounds ok, its lacking a bit of the hit you in the chest "oomph" that I'm looking for.

I also used my pre-pro to listen to it at frequencies between 20 Hz and 120 Hz. It seems reasonably even to my ear, so I'm not sure where the "hole" in the sound is, or if its just my perception. Any thoughts? Is my house curve too shallow?
