Re: My first REW graph, do I need BFD



If your crossover point was the usual 80-90 Hz, I’d say you look pretty good and you don’t need a BFD. However, since you’re dividing at 120 Hz, the BFD could smooth out that raggedness between ~75-120 Hz. If you don’t try to boost the bottom end (below 50 Hz), and limit adjustments elsewhere to maybe no more than +/- 6 dB, you should be fine. If you overdo it, you’ll know because the sub will make all kinds of rude noises.

As an aside, I notice the spec sheet you linked said the KX extends to 35 Hz. M&K seems to exaggerate their low freq specs – my 8-incher was supposed to be good to 25 Hz; didn’t even get close.

Regards,
Wayne
