what is the best way to set up the sub eq settings

Is this the one with the built-in parametric EQ filter?
Plot your response with a test disc and 1/6-octave test tones. This will allow you to identify a “hot spot.” If you do have one, just reduce it with the filter and you’re good to go.
You may find you have more than one problem area – if so you might want to look into getting an outboard parametric EQ like the BFD.

If you require some test tones, or decide to get a BFD as Wayne has mentioned the snapbug site is a wealth of information.
Also as Wayne mentioned, until you measure your in room response, you will not know what is required.
Good luck and congratulations on your new sub.Richard

I'll second what the guys above already said. I have dual SVS PC-Ultras, and for now the eq's on them are off. I've got a BFD that hasn't been calibrated yet, but I'll be using it to control the subs, especially since I have two, to fight any cancellation that may go on.
Just remember one principle- with eq's, you can LOWER a frequency where you're getting a volume INCREASE, but the reverse is NOT true. You can't raise a frequency volume dip.
Measure the room response! (best by measuring the volume output of every 10Hz freqency range at your primary listening location using a SPL meter)

Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

just recieved my new fujitsu and was wondering if anybody could give my a clue as far as calibrating the plasma and what settings have worked for them. plugged it in and plasma was just way too bright. Also wondering if it is worth getting it ISf calibrated or if using video essentials is good en... -

Someone gave me a 12" speaker from a JBL PB12 sub cabinet, then tossed out the cabinet. I figure I can match up this 250w rated driver with PE 240w plate amp. The simple down and dirty way out is for me to reproduce the JBL box. I have the outside dimensions but no real idea of the port tube numbers.... -

I'm considering buying a Yamaha RX-Z1 or RX-V1. If I do, I'd like to add a parametric EQ for more control over the sound in my room as well as my subwoofer's response curve.
THe problem is that the EQ will add distortion to the signal. I've heard of folks using the Behringer Feedback...
