TUNING Sub - Speaker/GenesisV. Anyone?


I have a pair of GEN-Vs (with active subs powered by separate amp) and am having trouble tuning. The subwoofers' amp allows you to set the subwoofer cut-off frequency (up to 120Hz) as well as, subwoofer (relative) volume, and phase (the GEN Vs fire front & back, phase invert).
Anyone out there with sub-woofer -> speaker tuning experience? My main power amp is a Symphonic LIne RG7.

A very timely thread as I recently acquired a set of the Genesis V. I followed a similar path to that suggested above, tuning by ear. I then checked the response using the Spectraplus RTA program you can download off the web. It confirmed my settings, which with a little more tweaking produced a very flat result below 200Hz with the exception of some room boost at 30 Hz or so. I have the crossover at 85, gain at 17 and phase at 180.

I have noticed there is a bit of a dip at around 250-300Hz. There was some talk earlier about having the speakers 6-7 feet apart to help couple the mid bass. Mine are nine feet apart. Would bringing them closer togethr help?

Thanks
