subwoofer settings

[evan]

I have a rocket ufw 10 , which has xover , parametric eq, gain and level, what settings should these be on if hooked up to the dsp 1124

Id say try and leave the oboard PEQ "off" if you can. Leave the crossover where it blends best with your mains. Gain and level, id say if your receiver works on a -10 to 10 scale start with your LFE channel at around -3 to ensure you're not sending a clipped signal from the source. Once you get everything nice and flat raise the gain on your sub amp to level match with the rest of your system, or calibrate it as hot as you like (I like 5db hot ) and you're set. I found that after getting things flat I had to raise the volume on my sub to compensate for this.

I have an SVS with similar controls, and also leave the PEQ off. The only deviation is that I also disable the crossover and let the processor handle what it sends to the sub. But I would guess having the sub handle this as well shouldn't be a problem.
