That’s the unit I mentioned upthread. It is inexpensive, comes with a calibration mic, allows you to do repeated cycles with different mic placement and enables you to DSP just the subwoofers. That’s what I use with the 15 inch Rythmiks. I run it through another line out on my line stage. The main speaker system is not getting any signal from it and remains entirely unprocessed.
Very effective, both in terms of performance and cost, especially since I’m running those subs very low-- as mentioned, roll them off at 55hz on a 24 db/octave slope. The trick is dialing in the main speakers and woofers once the DSP does its thing- manually adjusting gain (including through use of a good SPL meter), phase, roll-off of the main speakers, their crossover point, etc. Still takes time and effort, and no remote, but it works well for me.
