Hi StreetD,
Here is my own process (I have DD18).
1. Let it autosetup for the basics.
2. Play Acoustic Music with Bass...something you are familiar with. Clapton Unplugged, Amos Lee...and go into the main menu and select the Memorizeable Option you wish to adjust.
3. Say Option 1.
- then while you play the same track over and over...and over...just adjust the frequencies (boost or lower by up to 6db-8db or more)...and sliding these boosters/lowers wherever you wish between 15hz and 120hz
4. Go to 2nd page
- Then play around with the cut-off option...lower or raise it.
- Then finally, play around with the volume.
5. Keep Saving/Exiting Menu and hearing whether you like the Acoustic Track with bass or not. Guitar near-mike will tell you if your mid bass is too bloated...because the strings will not play evening...too much bloat and you will immediately hear it on close-miked guitar where suddently a couple of notes will be huge/fat/overblown.
6. Then save that...and go to hip hop/rap, orchestral, and then rock (nickelback)...or something with a heavy kickdrum.
Feel free to come back with further qustions....once you get the hang of it...it takes you 30 seconds to a minute to do further tweaking after you have finished the initial setup...and can listen at length over time to see if it is truly even across the spectrum.
Finally, if you wish, the Auralex Gramma subwoofer isolation platform cost $60 is extraordinary in ensuring tighter bass that comes thru the speaker...and not thru every floorboard, wall, cabinet in the room. Worth a go.
