Folks, I have a pair of BnW 803Ds I want to run with a Sub. I have a huge
room to fill (28' X 17' with 17' ceilings) and need a sub for it. Speakers
are rated at 35Hz - 28kHz ±3dB on reference axis. Lowest setting for sub
is 50hz. That would be a 15hz overlap. Would you set the sub at its lowest
hz setting or something else? I have it set at 50hz and a low volume, just
enough to give me that last few HZ the room sucks up without bloated base.
Any rule you follow for this or just tune it to what sounds best?
I set it to match the output of the main speakers (802Ds in my case)
using test signals, a microphone and an RTA. You can probably get
away with a Radio Shack SLM and a test disc, too. After you have set
it correctly and lived with it a bit, feel free to adjust to taste.
