Room Correction: Should I disconnect my REL Subwoofers before running room correction?

I have a NAD C 658 Streamer / Dac with Dirac room correction.  I have a pair of REL Subwoofers R 528 connected/ integrated to the mains.  I’m wondering if it would be best to run room correction with the subs connected or to run without and then tune the RELS after.

Dali Euphonia ms-4
NAD C 658
REL R528 x2

@George. To clarify : So when running the RC, I would set the sub volume at 50% and the frequency at 100%? If I am understanding that, would I then leave the sub at those levels when playing music?
Yes make sure you say yes to having a sub, volume at 50% and xover at max hz, if your auto setup room correction program is done using a microphone, the the program should do it all for you, even the sub phasing. I know Audyssey does, and it’s very good at it hardly had to manually tweak it all in my HT room.

Not if it’s being correct as well with your mains. leave the xover on it up full and the level at 1/2 and the room correction should take care of the rest, even the phase if it’s a good one that uses a microphone when doing it's FR sweeps.
