[QUOTE="calebkhill, post: 8275265, member: 647857"] Spectacular. I love hearing this. I hate to say get into RTA so soon, but i think you have enough understanding to go ahead. Getting things right with an RTA will make it sound even better. That aside.. Time alignment. I now time align with RTA, but when i was doing it by ear was like this.

Input the path length difference for other speakers on that side related to the 0 delayed speaker 8. Locate furthest speaker in opposite side. Set 0 delay. 9. Input path length difference fur other speakers on this side related to the furthest speaker on this side. 9. Locate the closest "0 delayed" speaker. Calculate the difference in path length between both 0 delayed speakers and add that delay to all speakers on the side of the closest "0 delayed" speaker. 10. Measure distance between furthest 0 delayed speaker and ear, and distance between ear and sub. Delay all front speakers additionally by this difference in distance. [/QUOTE]
