And now you know that wikipedia is written by nerds.
Seriously, the obscure electrical one is first?!

The Gibbs phenomenon link on that wikipedia page is far more informative and mathy.

What are ringing artifacts? I've heard of it mentioned a few times and I'm done pretending I know what it means. Good links. To make a long story short for purposes of this discussion, its distortion introduced by the filters used in parametric equalization. It delays the signal which manifests itself in a longer impulse response. In subs it causes the bass to hang around or resonate longer. The flatter FR from equalizing doesn't come free so its better to use it sparingly.

As Jakeman said, I think there may be something wrong with the sub. My 2nd EP600 sub had an issue that even on the lowest setting, it was so loud I could not calibrate to the same SPL as my speakers. They replaced the amp and it is fine now.
I currently have a 600 and 2 350's, and if calibrated correctly, they will work fine and help even out frequency response across the room.
As Ken mentioned, the 350 box is the same size as the 500, so it will not help if space is an issue.

Ok, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info casey. It sounds like one of those things to mess around with before getting a smooth response. I've always heard about the sms-1, I just didn't know that it did more than equalization of the sub. When I get my two subs and it doesn't have a smooth response within my room, I might try that.
