It depends on the frequency you are measuring. Here is a list of the correction factors. http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htforum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=26728Graham

It depends on the frequency the receiver is playing, but adding 3 dB should be fine.Graham

I am sure this is what you meant Gatemplin, but to have an even calibration, your sub should be set 2-3 dB below what you set your other speakers at. That being said, many calibrate their subs higher than that for movies.

Right Greg, I meant add 2-3 dB to the reading on the sub tone. Thanks for clarifying.Graham
