The Svs PB ultra13 finally arrived at my home yesterday. Now im trying to get it to work with my paradigm servo 15.

When calibrating the speakers are set to 75 db om a test signal, and using one sub the output is around 80. Ok, using 2 subs now should give me a 6 db increase. So what do I do ?. Adjust the level down on the subs so they still have a db output of 80 together, and if I do that, what does the 6 db increase means ?

If I dont adjust it down it reads 84-85 db, which is 10 db higher than the speakers and seems a bit to much.
