Here is the first measurements I have made with my DSP. I ran two flat sweeps with no EQ. Then ran the EQ utility in REW and ran again. I'm seeing very little change. Thinking I could possibly be doing something wrong. I am running the sweep with the Main towers operation with a Xover at 100Hz...

Hi, After spending hours reading through many threads on this forum, I decided to give it a try with REW, hoping to somehow improve the sound in my theater. I just got my Umik-1 from Cross-Spectrum and played with it last night. I followed the instruction from minidsp on using the Umik-1 and...

Hello everybody. I'm very new to all of this, I will do my best to be as precise as possible. I bought a NanoAVR HD in the hope to improve my systems sound. I've read a load of tutorials, which aren't always as clear, but still remain with alot of questions. I will go through the steps I took to...

My name James I have bought 2x 18" mach5 2012 Christmas drivers Brand new I also have ep2000 Want to build two sealed sono subs any help is appreciated.

So confused on REW - read the manuals, threads, etc. Have a UMM-6 Calibrated Mic with HDMI out on laptop to Onkyo 809. This is my first sweep...well 20th, but still 1st day. First issue is I keep getting LOW LEVELS when I test level prior to the sweep, even running at +1 on the AVR. Then I...

I have read many of the articles here about BFD sub equalization. I have adopted Ayreonaut's house curve and added a low frequency roll off to protect my sub (Klipsch Sub-10). I still do not know much of what I am doing. I know that it is said not to add if you can help it but I do have a...

Hey All, Thanks in advance for reading through this and giving your input! Intro See my signature for associated equipment. Also, FYI, the UMC-200 only allows for 3 bands of PEQ settings for the subwoofer channel. Finding the best spot, and 1st measurement In my non-dedicated home theater...

So, yeah my med doctor recommended I should involve myself in a hobby. It would be a good complement to the meds, keep myself from getting so agitated, and distract me from the hallucinogenic side effects of the drugs he's giving me. Sooo, I unveil my Master Plan......... Behold My first...

Hey guys, I'm brand new to this sight and have posted a couple of times but mostly just read. I've been reading a lot about the THT Sub and it sounds like a great project. I have the space, time, and help (an entire wood shop full of cabinet makers at work if necessary) to get something...

Hope everyone is fine and happy, covered in sawdust, smeared with glue, and wrapped in speaker wire. Let me tell you, I’ve always wanted to build a Linkwitz speaker ever since I saw his Phoenix design. However the lack of time and money, courage and such prevented me from attempting this...

Well , ran the headphone output to the preamp input and this is the waterfall graph I came up with. Any help with interpretation? Looks quite the mess to me. 2 channel audio only system here. It was quite difficult to generate the graph, any technical tips?

While framing my HT room I decided to put the back wall 16" away from the concrete wall. I filled that space with Roxul in hopes that it would act as a bass trap. At the very least it will give my old home some serious R value! The remaining walls use standard 2x4 studds and are filled with one...

Decided to take the next step in tweaking my HT setup and grab a BFD1124P to play around with. After doing some reading, I thought I would try and aim for a "Hard Knee" target curve. Suprisingly, after running a fresh Audyssey after hooking up the BFD, Audyssey Dynamic EQ did a fairly good job...

Hi all, I'm not only new to this forum, but also new to the home theater scene. After a lot of research and reading on forums I decided to buy the Epson 8350. I also want to make (paint) my own screen. Our HT is in our basement and 95% of the time the room will be completely dark when watching...

Hey Guys newbie alert first and foremost. I am looking to incorporate a sub-woofer into a window seat that has yet to be built. I have never done this before so any and all suggestions would be helpful. I am probably going to let my receiver handle the crossover. I hope to use the KISS standard...

Hi, This is going to be my first attempt at building a subwoofer. Im going to use 2 Peerless 12" PR and 1 12" Peerless XLS. The amp I wanted to use is the OAudio 300w BASH amp. I made a winISD project and was wondering is someone could take a look at it and tell me if I can make any...

Hi, in my hectic household, I very rarely get time where nobody is about, Kids at school etc. I had enough time for one measurement. Not sure if one can learn much from my graph, but I've tried to set my DEQ 2496 by ear, and every time I change from music to tv to radio, I'm up and down with...

Ok, I just starting learning how to set filters on the BFD last night and ran a couple measurements this evening to test out. First my filters and then the graph. It's a Sunfire True sub MarkII, in an odd shape (triangle space under stairs, and opening to stairway, etc) low ceiling (6' 10")...
