I have a Velodyne SMS-1 sub equalizer that comes with a mike and shows a graphical representation of your response on your display. You can then move the subs or adjust each frequency to flatten it out.

+1....and I don't think you even need a computer, as it displays the results on the TV, right rpatt? I would consider getting one of them, but they were only $350 a month or 2 ago, and are now back up to $500.

Yes Fors, it displays the results right on your TV and it is real time so as you move the subs the display will change. I didn't notice that they had raised the price. I bought mine on Amazon for $375 last December. $350 is an excellent price as they were originally about $750.

You might be able to get some useful tips from one of BDs stickies.

In addition to the SPL Meter thread that rpatt mentioned, you can also check the https://forum.blu-ray.com/audio-theo...ur-system.html thread. There are plenty of links in posts #1 and d#2 to free test tones. All you really need is a set of very good and sharp ears or a $50 SPL meter.
