I don't know how much you can adjust manually and I wouldn't have you do that unless you have some way of testing the system.  You can use RoomEqWizard, which is free.  You really only need a laptop and a Radio Shack SPL meter...

There aren't any dimensions on the drawings but if the image is close:You shouldn't expect too much panning, sound across the front, from the speakers in front.  By time you're that far back the room contributes almost as much to...

Sorry Jeff, I didn't look up your system before asking for a file.  Thanks David.    You've pretty much identified the problem.  With a crossover above 100Hz (actually a little lower) you will get sub localization...
