How to set up Velodyne dd15

I have a velodyne DD15. I set it up using the auto correction setup. Now i amm reading this isn't the best way to set it up, leading to poor 2ch results.
What is the best way to set it up for music? I don't have a RTA. I do have the Rives test cd and Radio Shack meter if that helps in setup. Thanks.

Lloydelee21,
Great reply. Will try those tips when i get a chance. I just bought a Subdude, which is probably similar to the Auralex.

Lloydlee,
What do you have your low pass filter cutoff set at?

Thanks guys. I connect the dd15 with a set of seperate speaker cables from the amp.
I am not using the dd15 to crossover my main speakers. I run them full range. {Living Voice IBXR's}

I ran the auto setup and it has a "hilly" response curve.It does connect to a monitor.. I can take a pic of it tomorrow if it would help.So after you run the auto correct, is what is left considered flat response?

What would you calll "big dips or bumps"? I have read it is best not to boost base volumes, only cut them.

LL21,
So, are you saying run the auto setup and pull everything back to within +3/-3 of 0?

You cut off the base at 45hz? I only tried it at 80hz, will have to try it that low.

I usually kept the volume low, around 5 or so. Otherwise it gets overpowering. Maybe if i cut it off lower it can go up in volume?
