Using Two Subwoofers

• 

If you wish to use two subwoofers, the 

sound output will double - an increase 

of 3 Db. Locate the subwoofers with 

one in each corner and experiment 

with the location and phase control to 

achieve the best bass response.  

With two subwoofers you’ll experience 

more balanced bass and fewer high 

and low spots.

• 

Use the slave input and output 

connections if you are using two  

XTEQ subwoofers.

Now that you have found a proper location 

in your room for your subwoofer(s), it is time 

to perform the Room Equalization Procedure 

to maximize your subwoofer(s) full potential. 

The Sunfire XTEQ unitizes the most current 

and advanced auto equalization system 

available. 

As you found in the last exercise, 'Location', 

subwoofer performance is greatly affected 

by the room in which it is situated, and the 

positioning within the room. The “Room 

Effects” will boost and cut the output levels 

reaching your listening position. This gives 

a “Room EQ” effect which can often be far 

from wonderful.

The Sunfire XTEQ can automatically adjust 

for the effects of Room EQ. The XTEQ 

will measure the actual room frequency 

response using the supplied measurement 

microphone and on-board processor test 

tone generator. After “listening” to the 

room at many different key subwoofer 

frequencies, the XTEQ then automatically 

compensates for peaks or dips and smooths 

out the subwoofer(s) response to maximize 

your entertainment enjoyment.
