Good. ...Now, DON'T USE or COUNT on your Cary Cinema 12's Auto EQ function! Turn it OFF! DISABLE it!

Adjust everything MANUALLY, with a tape measure, and a RS SPL meter with an Audio Test disc.
Adjust your sub with the Radio Shack SPL meter and fine-tune by ear.

*The Auto Setup/Room EQ system (proprietary) in your Cary Cinema 12 surround processor is NO GOOD (buggy and misbehaving)! ...Cary even recommends that you don't use it.

=> Last, try to contact Cary directly (phone or email) and explain them exactly your particular situation.
Perhaps they know some' that most people don't.
