Some measurements I took..

[canaris]

I finally got around and had the time to take a few measurements... my setup is a 4 driver IB(tempests) sub powered by a Crest 2600 at 2 ohms... or 1100 watts per pair.



First measurement no eq.



I took a few more... to be sure and one with a +5 boost at around 20 hz..

You guys see any area I can improve on?

Thanks...

[brucek]

Your sweep measurement should be set to 0Hz-200Hz and then the graphs posted with a vertical scale of 45dB-105dB and a horizontal scale of 15Hz-200Hz. No data is required. Post graphs 800 pixels wide.

I would say it looks quite good, but you need some EQ around 35Hz and around 55Hz. I would remove the boost at 20Hz.

I'd remove the 20 Hz boost filter and use a couple of filters to lower response below ~40 Hz to the 75 dB Target Curve. Then maybe cut the peak at ~55 Hz.
