Hi JB872,

This is just my opinion but if I can't hear it, I don't mess with it.

There's a lot of subharmonic junk lurking down there and I wouldn't want to go boosting it without knowing what's going on.

65/125 is a little different but still it's best to listen to your stuff on lots of different systems to see what effect your EQ is having.

Just my .02.

Good luck,

R.
