Ok piece of junk subwoofer ... Waiting on a 2 new ones --> Onix Rocket UFW-10 BFS. But this is what it looks like for now ... Obvious learning the program for the new ones. I know it looks like Jaws' mouth with all of the peaks and dips. Does it look like I'm doing it right? Comments? suggestions?

Looka about right , Now add some filters and notice the difference. What is your sub gain set too? You might be able to raise it a bit (as long as you don't clip) for a pretty nice end result.

Well good thing you mentioned the filters. I did apply them in REW. Since I'm not using any type of external EQ. Besides seeing what could be in REW what other way can this information be put to real world use?

This sub is a piece of #%@* trust me The gain is pushing it with minimal audible clipping. This is more of a test mule for now to make sure I understand and can use REW.

Ah, got it. Without an EQ that you can download the filters to, they won't do much for you. What you can do (if it's possible) is try to move the sub to various locations and run some sweeps. That migth be give you some good start locations for the new sub(s). Unless you are like me and the sub is sort of stuck in one place.

Well at least what you just said is what I "thought" was right from a ton of reading. I do have some options and plan on exploring them to find of course the flatest response

Thanks a ton for your input and confirmation!
