Hey Matt,

Sorry, I must have missed your post yesterday; not sure why...

I would guess that the left/right will be a stereo combo on a single 1/8" jack. Use that one (with a stereo 1/8" to L/R RCA cable) to an analog stereo input of your receiver (though you will only use the left, most likely). From there, you should be able to generate a signal to the receiver. You can do a sweep or use the tone generator in REW to see if you can hear something. Keep the volume down at first. I might suggest starting with a 500 Hz tone (sine wave) from the generator. Slowly increase the volume on your receiver until you can hear something.

From there, we'll do a soundcard cal and some input/output level cals, and you'll be ready to sweep! I still might be able to help on the phone, but you know how time is tight. My wife already thinks I spend too much time here (I do!), and she'll think I'm really nuts if I go to the next level!

Oh, I just noticed that you said this:



I know I noted it above, but that "out" is going to the receiver or preamp, not the BFD.

Good luck!

Also, did you ever get the EP2500 to sub thing resolved?

Yes got the EP2500 to sub resolved.

Based on my read of the REW help guide, it suggests that to Calibrate the Soundcard I should connect directly from Input to OUtput(of the soundcard)....problem is I am not getting a good test... I get a message that "the highest measurement is -87db which is too low and I should check my inputs/volume/etc. It say it is probably a feedback loop....I checked to make sure my "monitor button" isnt checked but can't figure out what else to do.....

Also, it does say for testing the Sub alone that I should connect directly to the BFD...Is this correct? I know that going directly to the receiver will test all speakers but first I wanted to just work on the sub....then I'll go to the receiver...make sense?
