Crossover For My Sub (1 Viewer)

[AbelM]

Where would this be located at? I don't quite know what it is, but I keep hearing it coming up. Is it the output lvl? Or what? 80Hz or something like that....AHHHH, I just thought my sub was sounding decent, a little help please!!

That would depend on your receiver. Some are fixed, and some are adjustable. If you have a powered sub then you most likely have a crossover adjustment on the sub as well. That one should be set as high as possible, or else the signal from the sub pre-out will be crossed over twice, once at the receiver and then again by the subwoofer's internal crossover.

Ok, here this is what I have:
Yamaha RX-V520 Reciever and on the back of my powered sub (I think it is powered...difference?) all it has is the volume control, auto standby, my LFE input, LFE output for another sub to be connected, and speaker connections.
Please help me!!!:star:

i believe the yamaha crossover is fixed at 90hz.

How do I go about seting it...where...

If the Yam manual doesn't say how to adjust the crossover point, and you don't stumble across it in any set-ups, consider it fixed at 90hz like Chriss said.

Otherwise, most powered (plugs into the outlet for it's OWN built in amp) subs also have a dial called 'crossover' or 'slope' or something.

For movies keep that dial (if you have it) 'wide open'.

Thanx Collin, I don't see anything called crossover on the back of my sub, does this mean it is not a powered sub?

If you remember me, which I hope you do, you remember I have my own sub cable going from the reicever into the subwoofer...if that helps at all...

Powered subs have a plug for an electrical outlet.

 

[AbelM]

Mine does...
