I would still try max output just to see if there was an improvement or not. What the heck the price is right ..........free.

You've got a point there. If I'm only hitting 25 Hz anyway, which is what Max output lists as the frequency it hits anyway. I'll try that too.

They are suppose to work really well if you are on wood floors.

I just use the spikes that come with the speakers. I did use their MoPads to get my center channel off of the entertainment center.

I ordered one for my sub on a hardwood floor. Last thing I want is boominess that will have my wife take my head off! Maybe I should have gotten the MoPads for the center. It will be on a glass shelf of an entertainment center.

Alright gents, I have my BFD. I didn't have a chance to mess with it too much. I actually spent all the time I had this morning programming filters, but not into any presets, so it was clearing them every time. but now I figured it out. Once I do set a preset, and then set filters in said preset, does it apply the changes as soon as they are saved? or do I need to do something else to take it out to "play" mode?

I have consulted google, the manual and as many websites as I can find and that one detail eludes me, as did turning to BFD to a preset in the first place. The manual is like reading egyptian, and the majority of sites and FAQ's i could find apparently didn't include my questions as "frequently asked"

The best place to read up on the BFD is on the BFD forum at hometheatershack.com. When you power on the bfd it will automatically load the last filter set you had loaded.

The top right button on the bfd is labeled in/out. this is used to turn filtering on (light on) and off. If you want to monitor the input side of bfd rather than the output, you press and hold the button for a few seconds until the indicator light flashes. This bypasses the filters and shows your input levels on the leds on the left hand side.

The input monitoring is used to set your input signal level for the bfd. The recommendation was to set the input signal so that the orange LED (-3db from clipping) barely lights on the most bass heavy material. I used the LOTR Bridge of Kazad Dhum scene to set my levels. I actually backed off one from where the orange light came on. I think that put my subwoofer signal at +4 or 5 on the receiver.

+1 to Fred's advice. Also, keep in mind the BFD will add 3-4db to the original signal even with no filters programmed.
