I will check the volume range tonight when I get home, just forgot over lunch.

Wont be able to check the dB reading during a movie until Tuesday now. After hearing how much better my setup sound, a coworker had to borrow it to try to adjust his a little.

As for the positioning of the SPL meter, the instructions in the video I had said to point the mic end slighly forward towards the viewing area. I will try with the meter pointed straight up hopefully on Wed.

Thanks again!
