How do I determine the -3db of my speakers? Also, how do I determine octaves?

I just set up my HT. There are a lot of things I don't understand. Here is a list of questions I need answered: Subwoofer: 1. Instead of using the hardware on the sub for things like crossover and phase, my receiver took that function over automatically. Is that right? 2. What is Phase...

What is the best way to position my two fronts? I see a lot of diagrams where the fronts are positioned facing forward on each side of the t.v.. I was thinking about putting my fronts in the corner and facing them diagnal towards the sweet spot. Does anyone know if I lose a lot of sound quality...

Cool man. Thanks! I got the 5760 also.

My new Yamaha has the YPAO system integrated, so do I need an SPL meter? Has anyone had any experience with the YPAO?

What's a SPL meter? Did I miss something someone said in a reply? Also, does anyone know how close the Yamaha receivers wattage actually performs compared to what they report?

No, I ordered the HSU today and my Polks yesterday. The receiver is sitting on my table though. I should get the other stuff by Friday. That gives me the weekend to set it up. HSU only delivers by Fedex ground, but lucky me I live 2 1/2 hours away from Anaheim, CA, so I'll get my sub in 2-3 days.

Thanks Chris. Now that strikes up a couple more questions. They are planning to have 7.1 format on DVD's in the future, right? Will my 7.1 receiver also do 6.1(Is it backward compatible for 6.1)?

No. I work for AT&T wireless as a sales rep and I won a Motorola contest. I got a Motorola V600, a blue tooth headset and the gift card. It was like a $1000 worth of stuff.
