The problem is my MFW-15 bottoms out every so often in many action movies. The beginning Paramount stars sequence in ROTF, Hellboy II tree fight scene, Ironman when he walks out of the cave. At first I did not notice it and just enjoyed the growl and hit the MFW gave for it relatively cheap price. Then it was a gurgle here and flap ther. Then the Stars sequence in ROTF made the sub flap like a dying goose. Now I notice it more and more.
AV123 sent me a new driver but it performs exactly like the old one. Bottoms at the same scenes.
So, I got some test tones and a 33-2050 spl meter.
Auddyssey MULT EQ XT wants to put the SW level at -1.50 but I have it backed down to -4.0 with the sub gain at 10oclock and the Denon AVR volume at -21.
I have attached the measurements I took and some basic pics of the room below. The DB readings can be a little misleading as anything below 30 hz is not much of a tone just a bunch of flapping or distortion. At 30 hz it is a little distorted. At 25 hz it is distortion and flap. 20hz is straight flapping noises.
The room is 13x26x9 with some soffits and such I figure brings the cf to 2800-2900 . I have bass traps in the front and the room is sealed
Can anyone look at these readings and see if there are any clues that my set up is flawed?
The sub is located in the front right portion of the room. Six inches away from the side wall and five feet from the front wall. Just below and in front of the ironman poster. hard to see in the pic.
Sorry for the long post but these are the details.
The file I grabbed says it does spl correction but I am not sure if it is for the SPL meter I have but the original readings are listed in black
