After making the proper adjustments for the Radio Shack SPL meter, here are the readings
Hz db
16 79.5
18 79
20 79.5
22 76.5
25 78
28 84
31.5 81
36 84
40 91.5
45 93
50 93.5
56 93.5
63 85.5
71 77.5
80 78.5
89 75.5
100 67
111 79
125 78.5
142.5 88
160 86.5
Note that the crossover between sub/mains is at 80 Hz. To me, this looks like a disaster. I got the SPL meter in the first place because I could clearly tell that my bass response was uneven when listening to music. It's pretty clear why I was able to discern that, looking at these readings. Anyway, I live in a dorm room right now, and I have no other place to put the sub other than where it is. I guess I could try to fix things with a parametric equalizer, but this looks to be a problem beyond just equalization. I figure I'll try to do better with placement when I move to my new place. Any comments?
