I suggest the Rives audio test cd 2. This cd offers tone tests at 20, 25, 31.5,40,50,63 and 80 Hz that are corrected to conpensate for the nonlinearity of the $40 Radio Shack SPL meter. What I did was run through these tone tests for the only 4 locations that I could put the sub in the room and make a graph for each one by hand. Then you can look at which location gives you the flattest response, simple as that. The cd also has tone tests corrected for the radio shack meter at 100, 125, 160, ..., 20000 Hz. You could stop at around 500 Hz to see how your mains and sub match up and tweak them get everything perfect. Or you can keep going up to 20000Hz to see how good or bad your room is. I found that the pink noise was about 5 or 10 dB off on the radio shack meter after comparing it to the results from the rives cd. So this cd is an absolute must buy.
