Speaker Calibration

Hi,

Been calibrating my system today using a SPL meter instead of the Pioneer auto setup my question is...

Using the test tones provided by the amp I have set the LCR RL RR to 75 ish db, when it comes to the sub do I do the same ?

I'm now off to do the same using the VE BR.

Yes, but make sure you use the slow response on your SPL meter, and also set it to 'C' weighting.

Hope this helps.
