It is $99 everywhere now. I love partsexpress but their shipping can be ridiculous. If you have a favorite toy store that offers free shipping you can probably save a few bucks.

I don't have the invoice in front of me but the shipping from Parts Express was quite reasonable on the BFD. I like their customer service so I tend to buy from them when I can. Shipping on my sub was only $12.

zzounds.com has it for $99 with free shipping.
Finally got around to ordering my BFD yesterday, so it should ship today. I'll post back when I get everything up and running.

Nothing against BFDs (what's a BFD?) but there hasn't been much response to my original post. Am I out in left field or do I have valid observations? I'm in the process of moving so I haven't done any serious A/Bing yet.
If I were to guess, your sub was probably boomy because of where it was placed in the room. If you have a SPL meter you should run a FR graph.Originally Posted by CraigT

What is your crossover setting when using the sub? How did you calibrate your sub? You have a VTF model have you tried the other setting for music?Originally Posted by CraigT
Quinn,
I run at 80Hz crossover. For calibration I use the MC 900 Foot Jesus method. That is, I put on the most bass heavy music I have and adjust the sub level to where it is not overpowering. I'm guessing from all the talk about balancing with meters and such I'm going to have to invest in one so that it rules out level balancing as a possible culprit. So after I've done that I'll check back in and report my findings. I'm convinced it is related to signal conversion but I have been wrong at least once before
Craig,
Last night I was listening to one of my favorite CDs, something I had not listen to much in a while.
My pre/pro has an auto speaker setup function....sets the levels of the speakers (not EQ)....and I had not listen to the CD since I ran the auto-setup.
Anyways...the bass did not sound good/right....no definition and bloated/boomy. I lowered the sub channel by 1dB......and it sounded great again. I was amazed that 1dB could make that much difference.
