On a good day, the subwoofer comes with a specialized parametric
equalizer that allows you to tune it to any reasonable room. On a
slightly worse day, the user provides his own equalizer, hopefully
a parametric. On a slightly worse day he uses a 1/3 octave graphic
eq. On most days, miseducated to pathologically fear equalizers by
the high end establishment and its dupes, the hapless audiophile
has no control over the situation other than buying and selling
subwoofers until he blunders into the right one.

Equalizers are nothing more than a band aid.

That's old fashioned thinking.

They don't properly fix problems with room acoustics.

Depends on the nature of the problem.

Go ahead, elaborate on that...

Nahh Dormer, you aren't worth the trouble to try to educate.
