Okay, so I can get a little bit long winded sometimes...
But while I am think about it, I have done TONS of research, and one thing I thought of, but have NOT seen discussed ANYWHERE is calibration vs. EQ; specifically in what order to do it.
Based on my limited experience I say EQ first, then calibrate after. If your sub is not flat, when you calibrate with a wide-band pink noise signal, I would *assume* the meter would react to the highest peak, causing the frequencies at the peak to be calibrated correctly, while all others would be too low. In my mind, this would cause the sub to seem "not loud enough" with real world music.
That's just my own take on it though...
