Hi folks
I've just started using REW and would appreciate your feedback on a few 'newbie' questions:
1. Measuring The Lows
When measuring the low freq's, I've been running the sub and full range speakers and rolling test signal off at 200 Hz. Is is correct to use all speakers or should I use the sub only? (Bearing in mind, the sub xover is at 75 Hz with the main speakers).
2. Measuring Full Range
Ok, the logical assumption is to run the sub and the 2 full range speakers while measuring the full range (which is what I've been doing). Is there any value in testing each FR speaker individually? I imagine the interaction between all speakers running is going to show up problem areas (modes/peaks/dips) better.
3. House Curve
I've read the in-depth posts on this: very interesting and thanks to the contributors. I loaded one of these low freq curves (starts 31.5 Hz @ 0, to 160 Hz @ -17.5) into REW and it plots as a LF upward scoop when viewing the full range EQ response. If I match my low end to this, I've got a bucket-load of bass. Is this correct?
Any replies much appreciated

ps the depth of knowledge on this forum regarding REW is bordering on staggering for me. :yikes:
