Re: burn in, you’ll have about 20 hours where they sound pretty good! Then the next 70 hours will sound like ass and you will question your sanity. Then they will slowly improve bit by bit for another 70 hours, at which point they will sound pretty good! But even then you are not done. They will continue to improve bit by bit for another 50 hours or so and then they will be truly outstanding and you are hearing them in their full glory.
Yes I am at step 2!! I am glad you told me, I would have thought something went terribly wrong. I have a buddy coming over to measure this weekend and dial in the speakers vs the subs, do we need to wait until after they are done burning in?
Here is what I have gleaned from Danny’s videos and from the forum.
1. Set speakers to where they sound best.
2. Set phase on subs to 0 then 180 to determine phase relation the higher output of the two setting is closest
3. Measure the speaker one at a time no subs find the low frequency accounting for room gains
4. Measures the sub one at a time and set the control to allow for a (here is where I get confused) 6db difference or a 12db difference? I know the goal is to sum as flat as possible.
5. Look for peaks or troughs in the response and use the controls on the sub to correct.
I am not experienced and my friend who is helping has some, but I wanted to be sure I am getting started correctly.
Thank you, Kelly
