I use the bass management in my player. For testing with REW, I hook the output of the BFD directly to my subwoofer input. My receiver blew up when I fed a signal from my XA2 (pink noise) after turning up the speaker levels in it to match the subwoofer without eq. Levels were at 0 and I played pink noise in the XA2 and the reciever blew up and without any speakers hooked to the amplifiers. I use analog out to seperates. It is on repair and I will get it back soon. Since my subwoofer was playing -2dB bellow reference for me, I turned up the volume. My AVR quit working a day or so before my BFD arrived.

I thought getting an additional subwoofer might help since even if they do fix my receiver (or I get a new one instead that does 15+ for subwoofer) that I will not be able to boost the LFE input with bass management enabled because my receiver defaults back to 10+ for analog because the speakers are set to large. An additonal subwoofer would allow +5dB boost I need for having my speakers set to small in the XA2 and possibly extened the lower extention in a vertical stack array. That is why I asked about a second subwoofer. I added two additonal filters to the topmost graph on this thread other than what REW had recommended. The large cut was -17.5dB.

edit: yes I use the computer-BFD-subwoofer for setup.
