Wow - I'm not quite sure how this thread got so confused. We have people assuming that I somehow think the JVC sub was better than the IB, and that I thought the IB was "plug and play". Please, make no mistake - that's not what I've said. I do plan to get some equipment, and use REW to fine tune the setup. There has been NOTHING done so far, simply because I'm in a learning mode, and have not had a chance to sort out what I need, or a time to acquire it.
The IB sounds good, but I have (evidently) a preconceived notion of what my starting point should be, and this isn't exactly it. I think I need to disengage from this thread until I have had a real chance to figure out my next step with the BFD.
I do appreciate the help so far, though.

were due to much higher harmonic distortion than you have in your current system.

No, not likely, at all. I had 4 12" Kicker Solo-Baric subs, with an 18" Cerwin Vega in the back of a GMC Jimmy. Maybe it shows my age, but at the time, this was a serious monster. (capable of making people sick, proven several tiems over)

Once again maybe a little harsh but why build an IB if you havent bothered to figure out how to use REW yet?
|
Because the IB sub was perfect for my room - out of sight, and no wires to trip over. Maybe a stupid reason, but it was a winner for me. Plus, I don't like giant enclosures.

As for the 60 hour week hope they pay you well cause that would kill me

60 hours is my minimum week. I've been all the way up to 100+, with the median being around 75. I am self employed, so there is plenty of motivation to work hard. And yes, I'm paid quite well.

The best advice i can give is check everything... Everything... form the amp to the drivers wiring etc to make sure everything is running fine, if it is then get REW up and running ASAP and show us some graphs

Yeah, everything is working good. I want to interface directly with the BFD via my laptop, (as little manual work as possible) and I'm having a rough time trying to figure out which MIDI inteface to use. I'm trying to be cheap, telling myself that I will only use this a few times. But to be honest, I have no idea how to make a good buying decision on this equipment. I've read threads on different modules, but just can't bring myself to part with the required cash. A character flaw that I'll overcome eventually, I'm sure...
