In Reply to: EQ and subs - preliminary results posted by bartc on January 2, 2009 at 07:30:57:
I use a similar solution for the modest HT system. In that space where I have little ability to experiment with placement, I had 12 db peaks at 63 and 120 hz with smaller dips at 80 and 100 hz. Since it is a ported design, a tad of boost near its low end cut off of 30 hz helped as well. Measured and audible results are far better. I did, however, have to run the EQ off a cheater plug because it introduced a ground loop.
Because the upper peak is beyond the *usual* range where subs are added (say 60-80hz), I got the best results by moving the high pass for the mains and the low pass on the subs upward to 120 hz so that they can be part of the equalized solution.
