Ever wonder what happens after you finish your miniDSP 2x4HD calibration?
In this follow-up video, I’ll show you how to take verification measurements in Room EQ Wizard (REW) to see how your calibration actually performed... and what to do if your bass response isn’t quite what you expected.
We’ll cover:
🔹 How to measure your system post-calibration
🔹 What to look for in your crossover region
🔹 When it makes sense to raise or lower your crossover points
🔹 Common causes of dips and peaks — and how to fix them
This video is a companion to my full miniDSP 2x4HD setup tutorial — if you haven’t seen that yet, you can watch it here: 👉 youtu.be/Q12-YkTf7YQ
Whether you’re running dual subs or a full multi-subwoofer setup, these verification steps will help you get smoother bass and more consistent results across every seat.
If you find this helpful, hit 👍 and share it with other home theater fans who are learning how to use REW or miniDSP!
