First Post, Noob, links and answers

Hi, I have 2 15's in an IB arrangement. I have a Behringer DEQ2496 and ECM5000 microphone, 400wrms at 8ohm and a Linux Ubuntu pc with XPsp2 in VirtualBox.

1st. I'm using the bedroom above my lounge in this arrangement. First bad to tell you of, I have my IB manifold in a Corner:yikes: ,(WAF in affect), and the bedroom has less volume than the lounge below. Straight away upstairs is boomy, so will need some serious bass trap,(WAF again).

2nd. I'm not disheartened, and have had an amazing sound already. Now, I want to get the right sound, so I've turned my attention to the Room EQ Wizard. Before I get going, is there any reason I can't work this in a Virtual PC? My OS is Linux and I tried installing REQW in it, but it just wasn't happening. I already mess around with Wavelab 5.0 in Virtual and it works fine. I have a dual core cpu and 1.7 gb of ram and a Creative Soundblaster live 24/96 pci soundcard.

3rd. My second bad. I don't have an SPL meter. I've seriously overspent to get the above, can I get any results using the SPL meter built into the DEQ2496? I'd really like to get going so even if there is little accuracy, I can get a feel for the REQW.

So, I guess I need links and your thoughts on this. Hopefully later, I can treat the boom, I reckon I'll still get, upstairs.

Thanks

Mike
