Well, Ive finally finished construction of my HT and am now starting the setup/calibration process.
I have a couple questions. The following is a breakdown of the components involved to help you better understand.
Denon 5803 (LFE split to feed the BFD and monoblock)
Behringer Feedback Destroyer
Audiosource monoblock (for bass shaker pros)
DefTech PF1800 sub
So my questions are:
1) Is it safe to run the internal lfe channel level setting on the Denon 5803 set to +12? This is the only way I seem to be getting an adequate signal strength to both the BFD and the audiosource monoblock. My assumption is since this is a line level, it is not actually putting any unneeded stress on the amp section of the 5803.
2) With the +12 lfe setting, I am only able to run the actual subwoofer volume about a quarter on. Will this diminish the dynamics of the sub? Am I over driving the Denon instead of utilizing the subs internal amp?
3) What are most of you calibrating your sub to 85db, 75db or 70db?
Does any of this make sense? Hope someone here could lend a hand...
Thanks in advance...
