Having a 7350A sub not being used at the moment, I set it up with the GLM Kit, with 8030C monitors. Sub sits between the monitors, which are beside 8330A speakers on identical 24" stands. The 8330A pair already have their own 7350A sub, and in my room the second sub is not needed with them.
At first, the sub output was weak. GLM would not let me increase the level, so I backed off the level of the monitors by about 4 dB with the rear panel controls, also turned on bass roll off dip switches. Much better. This all makes sense, as the 8330A/7350A GLM calibration reduces monitor levels in my room by about 4 dB to match properly with sub.
Phase adjustment, balance adjustment, and time of flight delay are, of course, not available with non-SAM monitors. The Genelec website has info about adjusting phase when not using SAM monitors, which I have not done.
Time of flight delay and balance would need a different measurement system. I've found these to be two important aspescts of GLM calibration; they make a big difference in soundstage and imaging with the 8330A/7350A in my room.
Overall, I feel that the full potential of the 7350A sub with 8030C monitors is not being used, and would not recomment this setup to others, unless it is a stop-gap measure until SAM monitors are added in place of non-SAM monitors.
