[The SPL calibration measurement is designed to balance all speakers including the sub.
"A" weighting will mis-calibrate the sub.]

Your info is correct. But, WHEN did I mention calibration of the sub? The fact is, I didn't -- WHY is that so hard to understand/see/read? My point is this: I deliberately left out calibration of a sub until I knew what speakers were in his system and what type they were (full-range, small or a combination). The sub "how to" chapter can only be explained after you know this information. To set up the sub, you MUST use C-Weighting (the A-Weighting's low end starts at about 500Hz -- not exactly sub territory).
