House Curve Question

**GregBe** · **05-20-09, 05:01 PM**

I recently picked up an Elemental Designs eQ.2 sub equalizer. I only had two major peaks in my response, so the eQ.2 (which only has two bands to eq with) was enough for me. I set it up last night, and pretty easily would up with a straight line house curve that is about 12dB up at 18hz from 80hz. I read from Wayne's article that he prefers to level off the curve below 30hz. I am almost afraid to mess with things, and let well enough alone and be thankful I am getting such a powerful response all the way down to 18hz.

Any thoughts on messing with things to get the 30hz and below info flat?

If it sounds good, forget about it. There's not an enormous amount of information below 30Hz anyway, and what's there may make your home shake a bit more - nothing wrong with that.

The question is kinda moot since you don't have any other filters to play with that could change the shelving from 18 to 30 Hz.

The article has a link to a thread where people are using (IIR) 25 and even 20 Hz shelving. They say it works for their tastes and their rooms.
