Hey, me again. Just got the SVS 20-39 PC-Plus yesterday. I hooked it up and just amazed how it works. It was awesome but I know I've got more calibration to do. Do you guys have some quick notes or links that could be shared to me. I need to know a lot. I've seen some graphs you guys posted here like the response curve and what not and I don't have any idea what's that for (Sorry, I'm just a newbie). I don't have my SPL yet but would be getting one.

At first the sub was a bit boomy, so I moved away from the wall and lower the gain a bit... and it worked. Don't know if that's the right way to tune. The phase, I just don't know how should I calibrate it to proper setting. Obviously, I don't know how to calibrate. If you gentlemen share some tips and tricks,I would really appreciate it.

As a fellow 20-39 PC+ owner(twins as a matter of fact) welcome aboard!

An SPL meter is a MUST for sure for proper calibration. Here is the website that explains about the charts you saw explaining the response curve.

SVS has a spot on their web site that talks about basic calibrating that you should read though as well..
