Current sub placement is kinda fixed based on spousal approval so that's just the way it is. It's really not bad in our primary listening seats so I live with the weird boomy spots in other areas.

I don't remember offhand what the crossover is set at, but the built in subs in the 965's are spec'd lower than the sub I'm currently using by a few Hz. I'm hoping that there being two of them and not trapped under the table they'll give us better results. smile

Where do you have the crossover set now and what is the -3db limit of your current front l&r.

I get that the sub is where it has to remain. I am just suggesting it might be tunable.

I read online that the sub is intended to cover frequencies below 150 hz so it is probably already doing all it can at this point. The LCRs are all 3.5 inch mid-range speakers so they won't be much use down low. I would think the built in subs will add a lot of oomph to your system. The sub in the corner is getting all the boundary gain effect it can use now so if it sounds good I would leave it until you can get the new speakers into the system and check out some good LFE movies.

Thanks for all the help, guys. I got the new speakers in place and redid the SPL levels on everything. I still need to play a bit more with the crossovers and sub levels but it already sounds fantastic. Huge improvement! I'll probably mess around with the settings some more tonite. The wife enjoys the end results but the "noise" from doing all the set up stuff can be obnoxious to her so I try to do that sort of thing while she's out.
