The A.R.O. automatically equalizes the rooms single highest peak in the bass response. I believe the D.A.R.O. equalizes multiple frequency bands within the bass response. The only manual adjustments are the Phase and Polarity prior and Level Setting and the E.L.F to taste after the Optimization.
Refer to the JL Audio CR-1 manual for more detailed manually adjustable settings using the suggested CR-1.
In a room previously crawl test mapped we located the F113 in the rooms second largest mode and ran the subs monaurally L/R summed.
Using the Velodyne DD-18's Room Optimization we were able to see the graphic affect of the A.R.O. We then slaved the F113 from Velodyne's Auto EQ eight frequency bands and nine Manual adjustable parameters.
While the 13" F series was stunningly every bit as potent as the 18" Velodyne it benefited a great deal in the crossover region by comparison.
The room and personal taste will dictate placement, daisy chaining, mono or stereo.
As a result of my short time with the F113 I currently use two DD-12 Plus' daisy chained in summed monaural. I think your gonna love it.
