how to setup a sub for flatline response I have no experience
Ok I'm sure you all still remember the franken sub I'm thinking of creating. Though I've never had a real sub period let alone one with all the tweaker knobs adire has on there plate amps. I'm totally in the dark as to how I would properly setup it up in any given room. I've heard of using test tone cds and an spl (which I recently got) which I would feel would be best for me to learn to how to do seing as I've never really heard a stereo running at a good flat response. So it's not like I would be able to detect room gain peaks or loss by just my ear and I'm also under the impression it takes more than a good ear to do that anyway then again I could be wrong. I'm thinking I need to learn all this before I buy a sub so I may learn something that could affect my decesion once again EX: you guys said large subs are more difficult to setup esp in a small room. I've never seen one of these test cds for sale nor do I know what frequency range they cover as in do they also help dial in highs? I require a lesson and ya thanks for all the help you all have been given me I've learned alot here. -Mark
