All of the speakers should match, including the sub. Some test disks (DVE, I think) do need to have the sub calibrated 10 db hotter than the rest of the speakers. I don't remember why.



Encoding error. Joe Kane Productions screwed up and recorded the .1 track 12db less than they should have. When I use DVE's 6.1 tones for calibrating my side and rear surrounds I set all the speakers to 75db and the subs to 85db to compensate. With Discwasher and Avia you can set all the subs/speakers to 75db. With the RS SPL correction factor the sub will be 2-3 db hot which is where most people prefer it. If you want the subs flat with the speakers then dial in the sub at 72-73db.
