Hi folks, I'm building a surround system, specs are: Denon Receiver Polk Center Speaker 2 little, old Panasonic front l/r speakers being replaced tomorrow by Polks 2 new rear Insignia's Polk Subwoofer Things are working fine, all speakers have tested out fine, and I can hear music coming from the rear speakers, but that 'moving/transfer of music to rear speakers' ie, surround sensation, is not working. I really don't know what the issue is at this point. I'm thinking cross-over, since everything else seems to be set okay, but the articles on cross-over are above my head. It is all set to 80Hz, Front, Center and Surround . I do not have surround back speakers, just rear speakers. In addition to any advice on this, I have these questions: -should rear speakers be set to extremely low volume, as a friend told me? -should SW, center and fr/fl be set equally, or do you all set volumes higher than the others? (which?) -my manual says set fl/fr, center and rear to Small.....what does that mean, vs Large? -What is impact if you have fl/fr and rl/rr speakers mis-wired? Say I have right where it is actually connected at the receiver to the left connectors? I have to track the mess of cables to verify they're okay, but want to know the ramifications if they are mixed up. Thanks hugely for any input!
