SVS PB12-plus setup

[djreef]

I would say that depends upon what your REW shows. Both your sub and your prepro have correction limitations. My room has such terrible nodes that I PEQ'ed both of my Plusses, then ran YPAO (Yamaha's PEQ), and then polished them off with a DSPeaker Anti-Mode 8033 subwoofer PEQ. There are a lot of filters in the loop, but it's the best I could do. (Remember, when trying for a flatter frequency response, it's much better to cut peaks than to boost dips.)

Not to worry, it might be a little work, but you will end up loving your new SVS.

Ya, it's frustrating trying to fill a real good suckout.

The REW measurements will tell you (and us) everything. Get to it! Also, give us a shout if REW is giving you problems.

Thanks Tomorrow for the additional info. I just need a little patience in trying to get everything sounding right.

In order to maximize the performance/output of the PB12-Plus, set the gain as high as possible and the AVR sub channel level as low as possible, while still maintaining the same overall calibration level.

Example - if you are at -15 on the subwoofer and 0 on the AVR sub channel level, set the subwoofer to -3 and the sub channel level to -12. The calibration level won't change, but the sub amp will make more power.

Does this hold true for the older bash amps as well?

Thanks Mr. Mullen for the input. I have talked to you a few times on the phone and you have been very helpful. My PB12-plus is really sounding great now for movies and music.

No - the BASH analog gain stage behaves very differently than the Sledge digital gain stage. Typically a BASH amp can be driven to full output by a typical AVR with the gain set to around 10 o'clock to 12 o'clock.

Excellent news. If you need anything else, give us a shout.
