Hi Gang
My saga continues.
My two SVS SB 1000 Pros are in and powered up.
Right now I have them in a stereo configuration coming off my WiiM Ultra via a pair of Y-splitters to their RCA R/L in ports. So that’s:
WiiM Ultra (R) RCA-Out -> Y-splitter -> SVS Sub (R) RCA-In // -> NCx500 RCA-In -> Speaker
WiiM Ultra (L) RCA-Out -> Y-splitter -> SVS Sub (L) RCA-In // -> NCx500 RCA-In -> Speaker
Everything is cooking. However, nothing is flawless…
I do not currently have the Low Pass Filter enabled on the subs. I have Room Gain Compensation enabled on both subs at set at 25 Hz. I have 2 PEQs setup for both subs. One low Q at 50 Hz. Another low Q at 85 Hz. The resulting graphic is what WiiM’s RC software (with their custom PEQs) has come up with:

I’ve tried to affect that dip at 50 Hz a dozen times. It’s immune to PEQ. My theory is that it’s a resonance between WiiM’s RC wave and my house’s flooring / frame that can’t be addressed without a building permit. It’s a 1940’s home. The floors are right on top of vintage steel beams. There’s a pronounced vibration when WiiM sends out its wave that I can feel in the seat of my pants. It was there when I ran RC with just the mains as well. So it’s not just the subs. However, the effect is more pronounced. Regardless, I don't think moving the subs to another location would make a difference, but I’d be interested in your thoughts…
The other thing on my mind is whether to use LFE or keep the stereo configuration I have running right now. Thoughts? Is there value in running LFE vs stereo? It’s easy enough to switch out.iI’d thought the stereo setup would lend itself to better matching between the speakers. I didn’t intend to high pass my mains (Wharfedale Linton 85s - they extend to 40 Hz), but I was going to low pass the subs. My thought was to do that manually via the SVS app, but I wasn’t clear what I should set it to. Any recommendations? WRT blending, is that best done via volume? Once the low pass was established that is.
Thanks in advance!
