Google bro.
SPL only measure db at desired freq selected.
SMS-1, anti-mode, as-eq1 calibrate the sub for the inherent sub/ room weakness.

I believe majority are using front firing sub.
Looking at recent trend, new subs are configured in front firing.

Yes, most of it employing front firing driver. Down-firing or front firing, if you get the correct setting for either one, it should be similiar in performance with non perceivable difference.

I have no intention to modify my 'cikai' sub for now as it sounds very good to me wink.gif

IMHO, front or down firing doesn't matter much. If you get the correct position and setting, it will sounds just as good. Been there, done that (same power rating (amp) and same woofer. Only design is different)

agree wit u too, as i experience it with my own.

start from i test&buy it then setup at my parent house and then move to new house.
All of then giving different impact cos palcement and also room condition.

so i really believe in room treatment that can help in our system alot... tongue.gif

anyhow i still thinking of change the internal cable to bigger cable... sweat.gif

ur think can it help?

Changing cable will not make the sub goes lower with usable output. People change the cables for speakers to get better tonal quality. I doubt your sub will sound tighter with thicker cable. The limitation lies in the woofer itself. LFE is different. Better focus on room treatment.

You need to dig sifu ycs's thread for room treatment. There are a few others who are quite knowledgable in aocustic treatment. But, seldom see them around nowadays.

A few others went DIY path. Reix is one of them who did his own panels.

To start it off, here's a link for your leisure reading :
