Your in-room response is 20-80hz +/- 3db!
That is *awesome* linearity considering the problems that could occur with room modes. Not to mention incredible extension compared to virtually all other major subwoofer brands. Nothing left to do now but enjoy it

Ned,

Thank you for the reply, I did not know if I should be concerned with the dB drop at 31.5Hz.

Well, you could boost a little at 31.5, but you're going to lose amp headroom if you do that, so I would recommend against it. Plus, it might just be a suck-out frequency that no amount of boosting is going to fix. I agree that basically you have a great respose curve, and I would just enjoy it!!!
Nice setup BTW

Ron,

I do believe you are the first person on the planet to check the response of an SVS above 200Hz. Seems we could handle Bose Accoustimass modules after all. ;^)

If you have the tones (be very careful not to do them too loud or too long. Very hard on a voice coil, sine waves) maybe try below 20Hz? It'd be interesting to see how your room placement is working to keep the low bass from rolling off. In any case I agree with every one else here in that you have a very good in-room response. You might be able to flatten the 30-50Hz area but as Richard says it'd be best if you simply enjoy your great bass for a while before giving that much thought.

Ron,

My test disk stops at 20Hz. Do you know of any test disk that will go below the 20Hz range? I am very pleased with my dual CS+ subs. In my room they are at least twice as powerful as the regular CS model.

Also I am proud to be the first person on the planet to check the response of an SVS above 200Hz. I guess the title of this post should of been a little clearer.

Thanks RB

Stryke has a test CD that goes down to 10Hz. Just go to the Test CD section http://www.stryke.com/ . Hope it helps.

www.autosound2000.com has the $15 #101 disc...sines to 10hz.
You can DL Spectraplus( www.spectraplus.com) and use it's tone generator feature to make sweeps down to 1hz if you want.
Be careful running anything at more than low levels though.
You might be able to tame the peaks and dips a bit with the addition of an EQ...but it's always up to the end user if the price will justify the improvements. The art351 might be a good choice hear as it does have sliders centered at 31 and 40hz.(along with 20,25,50,63,80hz,ect...and a user adjustable subsonic filter.
