Stretch's room EQ efforts


Hello all. Having spent a few evenings futzing with REW and getting the basics figured out on my Mac*, I've finally got to the point of being able to take some measurements. What a great tool this is! Thank you John for the software and thank you to the expert users like Bruce and Wayne for all the support and advice.

Here's my first graph, with a few caveats. The sub used was an old 12" JBL that our home's previous owner stashed outside under the back porch to go with some outdoor speakers around the pool. It's roughed it through a good few freezing Boston winters and frankly I'm surprised it still works at all! It'll be replaced by an Epik Castle in a week or so, I hope. (Ship it! Ship it! Ship it!) Location was the usual starting point, up front between the left main and center channel.



Much appreciate any thoughts from the gurus about what this may indicate about the potential of that position -- which I'm really, really hoping I can get away with. (Don't much like the look of that null at 43Hz, though.) I've got a BFD still sitting in the box, but am not going to bother to do any EQing until the decent sub gets here. (Ship it! Ship it! Ship it!)

(* I'll be happy to write up a cheat sheet for other future Mac-using noobs, if that'd be useful? Could either put it up at the top here, or in a thread of it's own.)

Thanks.
