28.  At this point in the process, it is instructive to measure the 

acoustic response of the combined L & R system a second time,

results of this measurement with your prior measurements 
made without the subwoofer. Document these new measure-
ments. You should now clearly observe more output below 40 
Hz as well as good linearity.

29.  Using the Right Gain control in the Low Pass section, trim the 

output so it returns to a balanced setting with the left and 
right main channels.
