I'm currently trying to figure out how much room gain i get in my "casual movie watching/gaming room", so that i can choose a fitting subwoofer for some infrasonic Bass, when I've got some money saved up.
My room is 4.5m x 2.7m x 2.5m -> Room Gain should start at ~38Hz.
My Though process was that i can measure the slope of the response of a Setup/Subwoofer in my room and compare it to the anechoic response to figure out the Room Gain.
Is that a good way to do it? If not how can i do it better instead?
My Subwoofer (SVS SB-1000) has a anechoic response that has a 32dB/oct Slope below 20Hz, F3 at 24Hz:
Here is what i measured in my room (with and without some EQ), but I don't know what level to set the anechoic (green) at for a fair comparison and what range to chose to get the slope / calculate the Gain.
Problem with that measurement at my MLP is the Room mode at 34Hz that makes it hard to see where the Gain starts.
If i choose the slope like this it would mean that I get ~11.12dB/oct gain which seem like it's too high, cause 12dB would be the case in a perfectly sealed room. Is my method too inaccurate? (32db/oct - 20.88dB/oct = 11.12dB/oct)
What would you say is my room gain? (if it's possible based on my quick measurements)
Any input on the topic and/or sources other than ASR would be appreciated! (I already looked through all i could find here)
