Jeff, thanks for the advice. I gathered that calibration was very important after reading many posts on forums like this. But, my questions arose because it seemed that most everyone that referred to this process had much more sophisticated systems than mine. I would like to maximize the quality...

Here's an update on things. Fed Ex attempted to deliver my sub yesterday. I missed them by minutes! GRRR. So, they will try at least two more times and then I'll have to go to them to pick it up. Bummer. That's what stinks about them requiring a signature to leave a package. My cables from...
