Also your sub seems to be strong on the top end and weak on the bottom end, which is not good. At least that’s what it shows in its present location. Speaking of... Quote: |

| If you’re going to equalize the sub, then you need a different approach. You don’t have to worry about finding the location with the smoothest response, because the EQ is going to take care of that. So, you want the location that gets you the best output and extension, and response that is “equalizable” (i.e. no more than about a 15 dB spread between the worst peaks and depressions). If you haven’t, I’d try a corner, if you have one available. Hopefully that will get you extension closer to 20 Hz, and get your overall response strong on the bottom end and weaker on the top, which is typically what you want.
Hopefully someone else will chime in about your other questions.
