I know this is not the best place fot this thread but if you want to test your sub and see what it will really do the new War of the Worlds DVD is the one to use.

Pioneer 1014/1015 does not have autoEQ, just setup.

I have had the 1014 in a 20x22 room and it didnt have enough juice but I think it would work ok in your room.

I would adjust the phase on the subs, and no unless the radio shack cable is broke it shouldnt make that much difference in SPL output.

I agree with the above poster. You are not supposed to use the BFD that way, it is used to make cuts to peaks in your FR not boost low areas (more on that below). The largest boost you should make is 3db but IMHO don't even do that. Now the reason why you have nulls is the interactions in your...

Mains are -3db at 35hz (RTi8) Center is -3db at 42hz (CSi5) I havent measured surrounds (Rti4), Polk has them rated at 50hz. With my other Polks I seemed to benefit from a little room gain and they faired better than speced by Polk. I'm probably pushing it with the surrounds using a 60hz...

Update and Information: I am using a H/K 335. I am using the dedicated sub out. The sub I am using is a JBL S120PII, it's -3db at 24hz in my room, BFD'ed and +/- 3db through 100hz with the exception of a 6db dip at 70hz. It's not that the bass above 80hz is very loud, it is not even really...

Thanks John

Is there any harm in using a predefined crossover on your AVR and setting the crossover on the sub to the same value to get a steeper crossover? What I have found is that when using a 80hz crossover the sub still gets way to much info. For example - I have set my crossover to 80hz and unplugged...

Matching surrounds would be next on my list if I were you.

Looks like some great choices to me. No need to change anything. IMHO, stick with the larger surrounds.

Thanks for the paper Chu. I appreciate it.

Me and John are thinking kinda alike on this one. My first suggestion would be to check H/K's ebay store for a refurb, next up would be the Pioneer and my last choice would be a digital Panny but at 250-300 dollars they will all provide great bang for your buck.

Room interactions could be causing this as well. Room treatments may be of help in this situation. Need more info on the room size, layout, speaker positions and materials in the room.

I am going second eddieZEN's recommendation on Outlaw equipment. Arcam has a good reputation for being very musical and is worthy of an audition as well. eddieZEN - Kudos - Im surprised your not telling him to get a Panny.
