    JL Audio Fathom

    I would like to know how to properly calibrate the JL Audio Fathom F113, I have followed the instructions from the manual but was wondering if there are other tweaks I can do

    If you have experimented with positioning and followed the setup/eq instructions successfully, not much. The only limitation of the f113 is the single parametric filter. If that's all you need, fine. If you need more, it ain't got it. The best suggestion would be to use a measurement/analysis program to see what it is doing.

      Is it worth it to have an acoustics engineer optimize the system! I am still waiting to see how good is the SSP-800 before upgrading my pre/pro?

        Dunno. How happy/unhappy are you? How would you characterize the issues you are dealing with? What are your room acoustics issues?

          I had Rives Audio give a sense of what I was looking at and I need huge bass traps ops:

            Start there. Do you have any way to assess the room/system acoustics other than with your ears?

                You could try the Room EQ Wizard.

                I'm considering doing this but my laptop doesn't have the right connector. Therefore, I need to pull my server out of the office and use it since it has a better audio card.

                  Yes, I use the Room EQ Wizard with a BFD to EQ out bass. Good stuff.
