I suggest measuring the sub and the speakers to verify the effects of the app.
Then put a crossover 80 and measure speakers + sub
The distances of the speakers and sub as measured by the app.
All measurements you make will be with deq off.
If all goes well you will need to give a curve over 1khz depending on your tastes. Usually you need a downhill of 4 db at least up to 20khz
If you can change the position of the sub for a smoother response you will have better results.
Is the center speaker mounted on a piece of furniture?
I find that the Audyssey sub distance is always more than the actual tape measurement from the MLP. Should we leave it as is? I found slightly better bass response when I corrected it to the actual distance in ft? Maybe they are not correlated.
I tried different sub configurations. My room is a asymmetric. All three speakers are at least 2 ft from the back wall. The right speaker has no side walls as it is an open floor plan. I have two options for the left speakers. Either I have the sub closer to the side wall and reduce the spacing between the left and right speakers to 6 ft, or bring the sub between the left and center, and the left closer to the side wall (about 1.5 ft away) and this also increases the spacing between the front L and R channels to about 9 ft. I find the bass output is more if the sub is closer to the side walls.
The center speaker is on the cabinet, but I do have acoustic foam pads under it for isolation. I have an option of placing the center in front of the TV cabinet on a dedicated 18 inch stand. Attached is a pic of the set up with the sub between the left and center channels.
