Here are the numbers of my tempest response.
20hz - 90db
25hz - 91db
30hz - 93db
35hz - 103db
40hz - 104db
45hz - 107db
50hz - 107db
55hz - 107db
60hz - 106db
65hz - 101db
70hz - 108db
75hz - 108db
80hz - 106db
85hz - 102db
90hz - 101db
95hz - 100db
100hz - 103db
100hz - 103db
110hz - 103db
120hz - 92db
130hz - 96db
140hz - 103db
150hz - 101db
Note: At 30hz point and on when I try to play sine tones at reference level, due to violent shaking in my apartment I have to lower down the reciever volume to 10db. So at 30hz the actual response is 83db and I add 10db.
According to the numbers, is my sub normal? I saw a lil dip of 10db at 120hz and was wondering if I can flatten that out using my old Kenwood Equalizer? The range on the Kenwood EQ is 60hz - 15khz. I'm guessing that if I use the Kenwood EQ, it will not help boosting the any freq below 60hz right? Or is it by flatten out the response curve at higher freq will also help out the low freq? Any suggestions will greatly appreciated. I'm still trying to maximize my sub output without spending much money. Don't get me wrong, my sub sounds awesome in movies/music. Just like someone here said "the upgrade bug has just bitten me..."
