Adjusting SUB DISTANCE & CROSSOVER for BETTER BASS (tutorial/guide)

In this video, I'll walk you through how to use the REW and the subwoofer distance setting in your receiver to get better response at and around your crossover point. I'll also go over when and why you'd want to change your crossover settings along with making sure your center and surround speakers also have the best crossover settings for your speakers and room. And best of all? Outside of a measurement microphone, you don't need any other tools or equipment to achieve this (outside of a laptop or PC running REW, of course).
