My search has ended, I think you can get low psi gauges, but I feel the difference in psi isn’t quite worth the chase.Thanks for testing - the search continues!

I couldn’t find anything remotely reasonable that worked between 0 and a couple of PSI. It was all £100+ territory. Will have a other look before the year is out.My search has ended, I think you can get low psi gauges, but I feel the difference in psi isn’t quite worth the chase.
For anyone interested, I found an analogue gauge I'm hoping is accurate enough (I think between 0 and 1 is a loss but between 1 and 2 PSI I think it should be OK)I couldn’t find anything remotely reasonable that worked between 0 and a couple of PSI.

So to answer myself, I tried this recently and it was an absolute disaster. In retrospect, being sat on the sofa obviously massively changes the output of the board and trying to get it to integrate into the rest of the system is a complete waste of time. Based on the comments from Admbar I think I was probably on the right track first time round!Are people doing much with the MiniDSP to set up the platform?
Must admit I haven’t really bothered - I dialled in some delay so it felt like it was in time with the subs but haven’t done anything too in depth.
I stuck in the basic single line PEQ boost recommended for the Behringer amps (I am not using one but I preferred it, so suspect my Crown XLS is similar in that regard) and also a low pass filter. I have to redo all my measurements as I’ve stuck in some room treatment recently so all the gear will be out again anyway so will “Do it properly” soon and see what difference it makes.
Really interesting, I went the opposite of this, it felt really weird with the sensation happening before the noise of something like a gunshot in John Wick for example, and that was just with no delay, let alone (the equivalent of) a negative delay.Hi Harkon. I have my HB set up slightly different to the majority. Using the Minidsp, i have the subwoofers EQ and time aligned to each other. I then have the subwoofers group delayed to the HB, so the HB is at 0ms and the subwoofers in my case have a delay based on my perception of what feels natural. You feel seismic activity before you hear it, so you'll know when it feels right for you. This is the same for most people.
I also have the level set lower than the subs, although after measuring, not this low. I'm surprised you're getting output at all between no BEQ, the rolloff and this lower level tbh! Also looking to play about with moving the LP filter but after my experiments I don't think the platform interacts that much with the subs once people are actually on the sofa. At least in my setup.Where I differ is that a lot of people like the rolloff higher, say 30Hz+ for example. I personally found this very distracting. I discovered that during seismic activity, we only "feel" up to 10Hz. Because of this I set my LPF at 10Hz in the minidsp with a butterworths 48dB/octave. I also have the level set around 25dB lower than my subwoofers. Since the cutoff is at 10Hz, you dont really need to worry about interaction between the HB and the subs. I dont bother with bass eq for each movie as I cant be bothered with changing it for each movie. I find that this works very well for me personally, but fully understand other peoples preferences differ. The OH hated the HB until I got my settings tweaked to this, so it must feel right if shes not complaining about it.
Nice one! Any pics? What does your built consist of?
What size tubes are those?All built. Awaiting speaker cable to wire it and then learn how to use the Mini DSP to set it up. Took the opportunity to build it whilst the wife had taken the kids out. This proved to be a rookie error. After I’d finished all the cuts and screwed the sheets together it started to get dark and damp outside. Still no sign of the wife and then realised how heavy three sheets of 18mm ply is. Was an absolute mission getting it back in to the house.

Here you go, after a few months this is what I settled on.Any you guys running a custom house curve on your HB, if so, care to share your settings?
What’s your bypass settings
