I agree. I wouldn't touch it. Congrats. I wasn't near as lucky.

Anyone interested in a BFD? :rolleyes:
Yeah.....I agree with the two Davids.
I'm going to be adding some bass traps to my room over the next couple of weeks. If I still have peaks then I might get one. Right now I have a couple of nulls that I'm hoping to kill with the bass traps.Quote:

Ed, you are lucky. I had a couple of huge peaks and a nasty dip or two if I remember correctly. If you are super anal about it, you could tweak a little here and there, but it ain't bad the way it is.
Well, I set up three filters per a suggestion from a semi-experienced BFD tweaker. So far, the sound seems to be cleaner, with better definition, giving percussive sounds a bit more snap. It seems like I can turn up the sub level now without suffering from any boom. I like what it has done so far.
Per Craigsub's advice, I will be adding a fourth filter to give the lowest octave, centered at 28hz, a 6db boost. He had the same sub in the 90's and said I could get good EQ'd response to 25hz.
So far, I like the effect it is having. I will post more after I add the 4th filter and take some new measurements.
Okay....I added the fourth filter and took spl measurements.
18hz @ 63db
20hz @ 67.5db
23hz @ 78.5db
26hz @ 87db
29hz @ 92db
32hz @ 93db
36hz @ 92.5db
39hz @ 91.5db
42hz @ 90db
45hz @ 89.5db
51hz @ 88.5db
57hz @ 88.5db
63hz @ 88.5db
72hz @ 91.5db
78hz @ 92.5db
84hz@ 76.5db
90hz @ 89db
102hz @ 87db
114hz @ 76.5db
126hz @ 79.5db
160hz @ 80db
Pretty good results for a small investment. +/-3db from 26 to 80hz for a ten year old sub ain't too shabby!
I read through this entire thread and now I'm completely exhausted!
Can you just pay somebody to come in and EQ your stuff? My DIY
interest kind of stalls at this level. I just want it to sound good:-)
My wife and I would love to see Phoenix........hint hint.
There are EQ's that are much simpler than the BFD. They just cost quite a bit more currently. I expect prices to fall as more companies get into it.Quote:
