Ok thanks for checking on this for me. I will reduce by 6db and redo the sweeps when i get time. This do indeed make sense.

So why would my running copy of REW give a different delay then yours using the same mdat file.

Here is the mdat of subs and mins after trying my hand at time align and EQing the subs. Here are the settings i used for the EQ and house curve. Subs to mains not time aligned in this mdat.

Ahh got it, yes that makes sense. Yes the message was like that but also had 11.3% distortion listed i think. Ill do another sub sweep to confirm.

Hmmm ok, so why would the subs output only need to be decreased, are you inferring that from the latest mdat. With that said the front sub came with a distortion warning when playing the sweep.

And this is the routing for dual mono correct?

Ok followed your instructions and routing chart. Attached is the mdat. Let me know if it looks ok and we will proceed with next step. The below mdat sweeps have no EQ or time alingment done yet. The are base sweeps following your method.

And I understand the chart above perfectly but again my question is, when playing the left channel sweep with timing chirp, wont the low freq from that left channel sweep give inaccurate results of the channel being measured (say right sub) as it will measure the left channel low freq and the...

LOL yes you are correct, i do not see it, no fault of yours, i just havent been able to understand how the sweep with timing reference dont interfere with other speaker measurements when that sweep actually plays full range along with the speaker i intend to measure. I will study your response...

Because I dont know any other way to perform the sub measurements, i need to keep the timing reference playing from the left main as this is where ive chosen to play it for every other measurements. How do i play the sweep with timing reference and not have the low freq not play from the main...

Im pretty sure the mdat I pasted in above were only the main speakers. will post another mdate file later with subs in there as well I have the mains amp connected to o/p's one and two on the minidsp, the rear sub (side wall to rear of room) is on o/p 3 connected with a SVS triband wireless...

And i think i figured out a way to not have the left main with timing reference not interfere with the subs measurement. Basically I just set the high pass crossover to 500Hz. Sound ok to use this method?

Here are the mdat for my mains however im confused as to how to perform the sweeps for the subs without playing one of the mains as those have the timing ref included. What am i missing? If i perform the sweep with one of the mains playing as well it would seem that the lower freq output of the...

Ok so the first of a series of basic questions as i proceed through this. As i am familiar with REW in taking measurements the conventional way with the laptop connected via HDMI to AVR most of my questions will be around taking measurements with wave file sweeps as im sure you already assumed...

So as I posted in another thread I plan on using my MiniDSP 2x4HD as a preamp for both my mains and subs (dual SVS SB-3000) with it being feed with a Sonos Port streamer. The mains (PSB Stratus Goldi) are powered with an Emotiva XPA 2. The connection between the Sonos and miniDSP will be via...
