I'm attempting to compute my room gain for my room. Currently I have my full 7.1 setup in a 14x13x8 room. I used the Room Modes.xls spreadsheet to compute the various frequencies. It seems the lowest two frequencies are at 40Hz and 43Hz which seems to agree with what I've observed with my SPL meter.
My question becomes what happens below that point. Some people have said that you get a 12dB per octave increase in the SPL below that point. Some information I've come across seems to indicate that room gain has a 'Q' of .6. This gives a different approximation of the room gain than the 12dB per octave rule of thumb.
Which is correct?
