No miniDSP? No problem! In this video I'll show you a few tips and tweaks you can make as well as what you can do to get better bass in your home theater by optimizing your subwoofer settings. I'll also walk you through how to use your receiver or pre/pro's subwoofer distance settings to make sure your main left and right speakers are aligned properly with your subwoofer. If this still isn't enough and you want to pick up a miniDSP 2x4HD, consider using my link below and also make sure to follow my miniDSP tutorial guide. Thanks for watching!
