Check you haven’t got the second EQ setting on as that drops off quickly much earlier.I've emailed Arendal, let see what they say
Why do you think this?
Based on some people's posted REW graphs owning 1961s, it can get very low.
Small driver and small cabinet. It's not going to be loud at 20hz
I've emailed Arendal, let see what they say
Over 100db at 20hz should be possible if corner loaded and placed 2meters from listener. It hit 96db @ 20hz outside looking the Arendals data (2m RMS) and 99,3db for peak (from 2meters). EQ1 and 160hz lowpass.

I have 2 1s’s and they are very loud at 20hz.
the 1961 go comfortably lower than 20hz, so much so @Jenz had to put a filter on at 16hz as it was too much in his room.
Tbh wasn't sure if it was down to my Auydessy set up - here are my graphs from MultiEQCheck you haven’t got the second EQ setting on as that drops off quickly much earlier.

Hi Gasp,Over 100db at 20hz should be possible if corner loaded and placed 2meters from listener. It hit 96db @ 20hz outside looking the Arendals data (2m RMS) and 99,3db for peak (from 2meters). EQ1 and 160hz lowpass.
The after graph is simulated. You don´t see the real after response without Rew and Umik.Hi Gasp,
May be being thick, but I'm getting -14dB to reference at 20 Hz so 61dB?
Are the numbers you quote what it should be? If so, it's ovef 30dB difference?
I did ask Sparechange if he'd review the PSA subwoofers and he said they aren't good enough for the channel. My man is brave lol.
must be an extremely bitter man because Tom won't send him a free sub to play with.

Could be some sort of null. Move the sub somewhere else (middle of the room would do, it's just for the measurement, not for good) and measure again, see if it changes drastically.
Checking sub settings is probably easier, but moving is another option you have.
It's only moved 2m round the corner into the bay, the difference is amazing for such a small moveSubs are like houses: location, location, location.

So here's a kind of experiment. Sit in your MLP and look at your sub's driver. Where your looking is direct sound. Now draw a line that bounces off a side wall, now two side walls, now the side wall and off the wall behind you; now the other wall, and the ceiling, and the floor... etc.
The point is that sound is 3d and there's a huge number of paths that the sound wave can take to get from the sub to your ears. Every reflection changes the wave's intensity (well, the distance does), and they all interact with each other at the listening position. If you look at a reflection point calculator there are literally hundreds of reflection points between you and the speakers or sub. Moving the sub a couple of feet changes all of those paths. Sometimes it'll improve things, sometimes it'll make things worse. Usually it'll make some frequencies better and some worse.
It'll also depend on whether you're in a square bay or an angled bay. My guess is if you stand in the bay the bass will be overwhelming, especially if it's square.
I'm glad you found a spot that works better though.
What's the advantage of turning the subsonic filter off? I take it this is an option in the subs menu right?
By turning subsonic filter off (it's actually set off as default basically in any setup) you let your subwoofer play as low frequencies as it's able to produce.What's the advantage of turning the subsonic filter off? I take it this is an option in the subs menu right?
