Correcting speakers without subs

[Ofer]

I have carefully placed my two subs using REW and RTA to a degree that they are almost flat. When AL corrects the subs it does so individually and doesn't take into account the interaction. What I want to do is have AL time align the subs and speakers but leave the subs frequency response uncorrected. I have tried to do the partial correction filter below but the filter created produced no sound when loaded. How and if can this task of having the subs just time aligned and the mains corrected be achieved?

Audiolense does not support that. You can treat the two subs as a single entity ... a sub with two drivers running in parallel. It will still do individual correction, but also a combined one. It's the closest you will get.

Thanks Bernt I have tried that before. It never sounded good for some reason. How will that bring me closer to my goal? also are there plans or a way to measure the subs together and make corrections that take into account their interactions in the room?

You could wire them in parallel and just let Audiolense see the couple as one single sub. They maye have a small timing difference between them, but if you place them symmetrical I believe it will be insignificant at these frequencies. And if you don't want to correct their combined response you can create a target where you trace the measured and filtered response in the region where the subwoofer is used.

Thanks, I have went for the second option just cutting the major peaks with the new target. It now sounds great with rich base.
