What is Multi-Sub Optimizer?
Multi-Sub Optimizer is free software that performs multiple subwoofer integration. Given a set of individual subwoofer and optional main speaker measurements, it performs the following tasks automatically.

• Optimizes the integration of the subs with one another.
• Optimizes the integration of the subs with the main speakers if you choose to do so.
• Optimizes the performance at multiple listening positions simultaneously.

It does this by calculating gain, delay, and equalization (EQ) individually for each subwoofer. This technique is more powerful than the traditional EQ approach described below.

What are the Problems with the Traditional EQ Approach?
At the specific frequencies of the room modes, the frequency response may have peaks at some listening positions and dips at others. Unless you're very lucky, flattening the response at the main listening position will make it worse at others. Also, when integrating the main speakers and subs, each new adjustment of subwoofer distance or level requires a new measurement to determine if the integration of main speakers and subs is good enough. That can become very time consuming.
