All I needed was the Radio Shack SPL meter and a cd w/test tones. I bought Stryke's BassZone Test CD. If you have a CD burner, you can make your own tones for the cost of a CD-R by downloading the NCH tone generator. Just select the frequency/length of tone, save it as a .wav file then burn it...
Well I had a huge peak from around 36-56hz and a smaller one smaller one around 70-80hz. I didn't realize how much this affected my reproduction of bass. After eqing, I'm now +/-2db from 15-90Hz, it did wonders for music. I can email you the excel sheet if you want to see how flat the response is.
Hey Micheal, Just wanted to say that the best thing I did for my HT was to add a quality subwoofer(SVS CS Ultra). The second best thing I've done is adding the Behringer Feedback Destroyer.
