Subwoofers with room correction built in?


Who has experience, good or bad or whatever, with the built-in room correction/DSP/EQ that newer subwoofers (except REL) come with these days?  I’m excited to try the system built into an ELAC sub 3070 that’s coming my way soon, but I want to be realistic.
Thanks.

   You didn't mention much about your overall system or if it is your first venture into adding a sub to your system? One of the most challenging projects of all. If this is your first attempt of adding one or not, room correction may be important but not the primary concern.
   So many factors to consider......room acoustics, placement of sub(s), etc. Seems that getting the basic performance should be of primary focus before fine tuning with room correction. You may want to seek advice from millercarbon who has lots of good advice about subs, especially the use of multiple subs.
   Please don't infer that I think you're new to subs but your original post didn't give many details. Not intended as an insult but there is quite a lengthy article about subs if you're patient enough to read it.
