Subwoofer 101 Needed...

I have just picked up a used custom made 15" subwoofer to supplement my existing speakers. It came with an extensive array of variable control parameters. (Please see included photos.)

Sub 1

Being a Newby to the world of subwoofers, I would like to ask for a bit of guidance in their use. What would I expect to hear/measure (using REW) using them? (For example: varying Q?)

I am not interested in thunderous AV, but rather an unobtrusive refined extension to the bottom end for listening to classical, jazz, world and occasional pop music.

I look forward to your thoughts and appreciate any assistance. Thank you!

Hi immatthewj,

The links are little rectangular boxes labelled Sub1 and Sub2. If I tap on them with my (Android) phone I have the option to preview or download.

Eric,

Some interesting ideas, thanks. (Like blocking the ports of my main speakers!)

I will tinker and explore.

Thanks Eric,

That link is quite a discourse on 'Q'! I will tinker, listen and measure in that order...

The icons are links to images: you will have tap and follow link on Imgpile.com. 

(I couldn't figure how to actually embed an image...)
