What to do next ....

Hope that's a fisheye lens

Lol pretty sure it’s a panorama.

Btw, room looks really good @Patrick Kennedy

Sounds fine but what does "set level to THX" do? What did you do with the phase setting? Does something sound wrong after you did this?

iin the manual of the subs, it is recommanded to set THX when calibrating the subs.

For the phase i left it to 0

To me so far i like it alot, but for the subs i dont know. Having two subs is a breath taking experience. But what is the best setting for the subs, it is hard to tell. Should a subs vibrate when there is explosion on the screen? or is it to high a level.

Yep. That’s why I like to add 4-5db in the AVR post cal. I also have a minidsp so I’ve built a house curve. It rises from 200hz down to 18hz by about 5-7db at 18hz. Then I just let the content do what it’s gonna do.
Yes subs should vibrate when there’s explosion on the screen. But definitely NOT if there’s not an explosion. Lol!!

Thank you

Your quite welcome. I like it.

Might consist rug though.

so should i set my subs level to 0 and only increase the AVR subs level?

Not sure what you mean by vibrate. The box or it rattles on the floor or ? Best setting is what you like in the end. I generally like a little bass boost too, but I would recommend adding it in the avr rather than changing gain on the subs (and only after you calibrate). Don't know what "0" on the sub itself translates to at all, they're all different....

I mean the room in general and the couch

Yeah, they can do that. In some rooms it can cause rattles of pictures and bric-a-brac and such, a little museum putty can work wonders. You can even get your couch to vibrate even more by putting the sub right behind it or even adding a transducer in the couch itself (often called bass shakers).

Holy frak, its crazy stuff. It never end.

Yep! We call it “the rabbit hole”. Welcome to it!

I dont have audyssey... on YPAO. Each time i do an auto calibration i get different result. Sometime its only by a small and sometime bigger difference.

The last auto setup gave me -2 on the subs
And the other time i got +4.

A 6 dB swing seems a bit much for subsequent runs of the auto-calibration system. Try to be cognizant of whether there are external sources of bass noise like HVAC, refrigerator, truck , plane overhead, etc. Some of these noises like HVAC or fridge we automatically filter and hardly notice because they are commonly in our environment, but the microphone is not very good at making the distinction.

I can vauch that i was alone in the house and no external sound could be hear. I also was in the basement

Is it possible the gain on the sub was different on those runs?

 

[Patrick Kennedy]

Is it possible the gain on the sub was different on those runs?

yes it was
like last week i got +5.5db and the left subs and 4.5db on the right. Yesterday i was at -2.5db and -1.5db

Those are the gains on the subs rather than results of level set by ypao?

I have no idea whats the difference between both gains and level

Looking back at your pic of the sub controls, the sub amp's gain control is labeled "level". My question is is it possible that the level on the sub changed between the different YPAO runs?

I always put it to to THX when i calibrate my AVR. In the manual THX correspond roughly to 0db. Than i crank up the cross over to max also. Phase is always at 0.


The crossover switch is at off. For the EQ i really dont know if i should put it to extended or THX
