Hello Tony,
Sounds good. I know from fairly extensive experience setting up my own and other systems with dual subs, that precise positioning of sub#1 and then sub#2 in relation to your designated listening seat are the key factors in achieving best results. I suggest taking your time to ensure accuracy and using the sub crawl method if you lack the more expensive room correction gear alternative. Assuming you don’t currently have the room correction gear, here’s the sub crawl procedure:
1. Hookup sub#1, place it directly in front of your designated listening seat and play some music with good and repetitive bass. Set the Volume level on each sub to 50%, the Phase to in-phase ("0") and the Crossover Frequency to 50 Hz.
2. Beginning at the right front corner of your room, slowly walk in a counter-clockwise direction around the perimeter of your room closely listening for an exact spot where the bass sounds best to you (powerful, solid, smooth, detailed, dynamic and natural). Remember to take your time, move slowly, listen closely and repeat from the beginning until you find the exact spot.
3. Once you’ve found the exact spot, move sub#1 to this specific spot.
4. Hookup sub#2, place it directly in front of your designated listening seat and play some music with good and repetitive bass again.
5. Beginning at sub#1, slowly continue walking in a counter-clockwise direction around the perimeter of your room closely listening for the next exact spot where the bass sounds best to you (powerful, solid, smooth, detailed, dynamic and natural). Remember to take your time, move slowly, listen closely and repeat this step from the beginning until you find the exact spot.
6. Once you’ve found the exact spot, move sub#2 to this specific spot.
7. Sit in your designated listening seat, play the music with good and repetitive bass again and verify the bass sounds very good to you overall.
If the bass does not sound very good to you, unfortunately, you’ll need to repeat the above complete procedure.
If the bass does sound very good to you, the normal next steps are to optimally set, or fine tune, the Volume, Crossover Frequency (Low Pass Filter) and Phase controls on each sub. Since you’re going to set the Crossover Frequency at its lowest available 50 Hz setting, you’ll just need to optimally set the volume and phase controls.
Later,
Tim
