Callibrating Velodyne DD+ Subs in Stereo

I have 2 x DD15+ subs that I want to run as stereo (Not Mono) for music but I am not sure how to proceed to set them up for using the built in Auto EQ.

In terms of locating the subs I am positioning the subs next to each speaker (inside) symmetrically located.

Do I measure each speaker and sub separately with the Auto EQ ( L and R channel) or do I link the subs together in a master slave and then measure with just the master.

Appreciate any assistance from members who are running subs in stereo.

AutoEQ only works for daisy-chained subs. However, for the purposes of set-up you can daisy-chain them, run AutoEQ, and then connect them in stereo if you desire.

I should mention that I'm very unimpressed with AutoEQ. It does not produce anything like a flat in-room response. I recommend buying something like the Parts Express OmniMic system and measuring for yourself, using 1/12th octave smoothing. You'll have to tune things manually, but the best tuning is done by placement and some judicious equalization anyway.

I highly recommend reading the excellent review of your sub on the audioholics.com web site.
