Re: crossover


Rick, either I am completely misunderstanding what you are saying, or you are giving serously bad advice. For one, you can't set the mains to large and set a high pass frequency for the mains as well. Large means no high pass.

Dale, building on what John said, if you have an HT receiver, connect the sub to the LFE output and completely bypass the crossover in the sub itself. If it doesn't have a bypass, set it to the highest frequency available. Also, your speakers say they go down to 32Hz, but is it at a severely crippled output or at high distortion? Without more info on the mains, I would set the crossover on the receiver around 80Hz to begin with. People often want to set it too low, which just makes no sense for many reasons.





They flutter behind you, your possible pasts.
Some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost.
