How's everyone doing today? As always thank you for making us a part of your day.

There are other videos on YouTube that get into more detail and more steps. But this video is one of the easiest to digest and implement. The others, try as they might, still manage to make it intimidating. They might be more detailed and better, but if one has a hard time following them and end up not implementing anything at all, then "perfect is the enemy of good".

Waiting for part 3 of this series.

Great Video Andrew and Kristi! Extremely straight forward and well explained! Out of all the subwoofer/REW vids online, your explanation is one of the best out there!! Thanks again!!!

[cafiveohsrockbandremix]

Great tutorial to finish off the series. For home theater applications, what I have found works really well (for me at least) is to EQ the subs as flat using PEQs on the output tab of the MiniDSP software and then run room correction. After room correction, I use a Low Shelf Filter on the Input tab PEQ. Center frequenzy at 35 hz, Q at 0.8, and boost to taste. I find the 4-6 dB of boost is about right, but I also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ which already applies a house curve. This setting gives me a really enjoyable house curve that starts gradually rising around 50 Hz. I like this curve slightly better than the one most YouTubers use because it still gives incredible deep bass impact but also reduces chestiness in the vocals.

Hello Andrew and Kristi, thank you so much for getting the second part out so quickly!! The video was excellent and very useful! My vote is yes to a follow-up video with multiple subs (3 or 4). This is the type of content that adds so much value to your channel, learning is a life-long journey!! Thank you so much!

[trevord]

Great video. I have SVS subs and an Anthem receiver. Is it better to use the SVS software to EQ the subs or Anthem’s ARC software ? Or maybe a better way to ask the questions: when you have in multiple options/places available to make adjustments how do you decide which one to utilize?

[lfazio]

Very NICE Andrew. These educational series are my favorite hands down! This is some of the most critical and useful pieces of content you can offer your viewers, especially for those entering the hobby, and even those more seasoned enthusiasts that have not yet encountered MDSP and REW. Investing early in ones musical journey on the likes of the MiniDSP, mic, and REW allows for an easy option to deal with room acoustics; absolutely one of the most critical components of any systems. The impact of these adjustments deliver value far beyond what most understand. It can save a customer signifcant money if hobbyists will "tackle" this process before spending hard-earned dollars on say, better DACs, amps, speakers, and cabling - if your room is creating problems, no amount of money spent on components will resolve the problem. Again, one of the single most important pieces of content you have offered your viewers!! As always, thanks for being there and for all you do! EXCELLENT!!!

[EvilMii]

Fantastic, easy to understand information for non-tech nerds! Can't wait to see the 2 sub setup. I recently got the RSL 10 MKII and I want to add another! This sub has changed my whole world coming from a cheap polk. Great work as always :D

[crm]

Thanks for another great setup video and no, I could care less about a two subwoofer video😂 I would love to see you add a Chapter 3 to this series by showing how you implement Dirac Live. I assume Dirac Live comes after the speaker and sub eq steps.

A friend of mine wanted to build an DBA (Double Bass Array) with miniDSP Devices beside his Genelecs and i can say, its a nightmare to setup. He had so many problems with the miniDSP devices because even the Support have no idea, when you build up complex setups like Arrays - they cant help you. After two months of frustration sended back the stuff. Ìm very happy that ive an Neumann Sub incl Monitors where the software is easy to use but still very powerfull and you get awesome results out of it

[ElitistReviews]

God damn, you made the most easiest and the most pleasing mini dsp REW sub setup on YouTube.

[davidratajack]

I'd certainly be excited to see a video similar to this one that looks at dual/multi-sub setup. Also, would you be willing to address how to optimize the phase and timing of the main speakers and subs using a MiniDSP device? Thanks!

[movie_av_impulse]

Some of the best parts about this series that you're doing, which by the way I love. Is that when I do upgrade my receiver my subwoofer, and Atmos speakers. I can relate back to this series and learn how to do it. And if I hear other people talking about it, I can always refer them to your video as well. Keep up the good work. PS you know the base heads are going to ask for you to do two subwoofers next 😂

[ajjb]

This series of videos has been outstanding!!! Please keep them coming!!

[johnd]

Thanks! Do you think the less expensive microphone will give you very similar results in data? Obviously, this cost difference isn’t significant after spending thousands of dollars on audio equipment, but I was just wondering if you thought the cost difference would generate a noticeable improvement in calibration.

[mncn]

Oh wow you finally did a vid on this. Nice! I have been running the miniDSP HD 2x4 for over 2 years now. My Marantz AV7005 has dual sub out, but I run only sub 1 into the miniDSP and run three subs. MiniDSP by far is the biggest upgrade to my bass. Even more than adding a 3rd sub in the rear. FYI - you can export from REW then import into the miniDSp, no need to type it in.

[tonymaldonado]

Thank you…do not know how I missed this video…most rew videos how to measure only …thank you for showing us how to start correcting the problems

[jayist]

I appreciate these videos in this series. They’ll be saved and used when i set up my audio systems in my new home.

[mohamedahmed]

Well done! I like how clear and coherent this was. I used roughly the same approach. I'm glad you highlighted that the most important step is to place your sub correctly at the beginning. EQ can only do so much to fix poor placement.
