When we say "Mains", we are talking about Front Left and Front Right. Whatever the nomenclature, you cannot disable the Front Left and Front Right speakers. That is the bare minimum you can have in any system; hence the large and small setting for the mains. Get this thing right......no matter where you cross your mains with the sub; the xo frequncy will be played by sub and all the speakers coz of the slope on either side of the xo frequency. How much of that content is played in the speakers depends on the slope (6/12/18/24) dB or whatever. This all is there to seemlessly transfer bass frequencies from speakers to the sub or you would have bass localization problem. Think of the sub-speaker frequency transition as a relay track race where one runner hands over the batton to the next runner. The runner doesn't come to a stand still while handing the batton over to the next runner. Rather both runners are at reduced pace (equivilant of Crossover Frequency Slope) while the batton switches hands. Once the batton is handed over to the next runner only then the preceding runner slows down and moves off the track and other runner blasts off at full pace.brettecantwell said:How do i make sure I'm getting a complete to the sub? My speaker config allows me to shut off center and mains and sub but only have large and small settings for fronts.... Im afraid even if i unplug mains the avr will still try to crossover even with just the sub
