What I have finally done, which works great!: is I bought a 30' Subwoofer cable with a Y-Connector and plugged my sub to my sub out plug. I set my two front speakers to large and the rest to small. I then set my crossover frequency(on my receiver) to 80Mhz and about 50-55Mhz on my subwoofer...
Lew, My receiver regardless of what the crossover is set to, if the sub is off the crossover frequency is off (I believe) and the only limiter of frequencies is the large or small settings (I believe). I also stick to the theory that what sounds best to you is best. I am going to go home and...
The "single cube" Bose speaker I picked up for about $40 and I am using it for the rear center because it is small and easily mounted. The impedance on it is rated at 8ohms and max power at 100 watts, so it's not that bad of a mismatch other than the crossover frequency (which is trivial to me...
Hi Everyone, I just bought a new Cerwin Vega LW12 and I had a couple of questions about the setup. My System: Receiver: Denon AVR-1803 Fronts: Klipsch SF-1 (30Hz-20kHz±3dB) Center: Klipsch SC-1 (60Hz-20kHz±3dB) Surround Right and Left: Klipsch SS-1 (65Hz-20kHz±3dB) Rear Center: Bose...
Thanks everyone for the very informative replies. I looked more in depth into my manual and the separation and width features on the center and surround speakers under PLII music. Playing around with these settings I am able to get acceptable results. Also I think the problem was I was using a...
What I mean by non impressive is that I have had other receivers in the past (an aiwa and a kenwood) and their prologic modes sounded somewhat good with tv and music running not that great of speakers. Currently I am running my tv to my receiver (analog) and running my computer to my receiver...
Hey to anyone out there. I am completely impressed with the avr-1803's decoding of DTS-ES and DD-EX. It's the Prologic II and DTS Neo:6 that are not impressive in analog and digital mode. Maybe it's just the settings I have, but does anyone have the same feelings? Also, are there any tweaks to...
Make sure in the setup menu on the AVR1803 that the option subwoofer+main is selected. If you select this, the bass output will be at a normal level. Also, check your LFE levels on the receiver. I can't remember exactly how to do it, but I remember reading it in the manual. Hope this helps.:)
