[font="Comic Sans MS"]... notice that your blue sub-only plot looks a bit different than your red front speakers plot, but your green combined plot looks just like the red one. This tells me that your mains are overpowering your subs. IOW, your subs really aren’t contributing anything useful. Maybe you should turn them up?
Do you think it can be because I connected the mains in parallel, and according to an online review my RXV 2700 is sending 272 WPC to the front ???

When you said: "turn them up" I'm sure you mean the volume/Gain on the sub amp, Right??? ... when I calibrated the speakers I set the sub 5db higher than the rest (80db).

... it appears your mains have better extension than your subs. Have you tried corner-loading the subs? ...
I agree with you about the speaker extension, like I said I think the 272 WPC has a lot to do with it ...

One of the subs is placed in the corner (Velodyne VRP 1000) and the other is inside the riser near the back wall (is like 2' from the rear corner); this is an Infinity TSS 750 sub.

I know that I need better subs, but that for the future ... I already more than I should at this time

What is your suggestion, Should I change something to get a better response or is this way okay???

By the way, I wasn't kidding about the smell ... even my kid ask me: What is burnning???
