What should I set the crossover frequency to? This is what it says in the Onkyo product manual...
Frequency:.....................Front Speaker Diameter:
60hz...........................Larger than 8 inch
80hz...........................6 1/2-8 inch
100hz(default).................5 1/4-6 1/2 inch
120hz..........................3 1/2- 5 1/4 inch
150hz..........................Less than 3 1/2 inch
I am Using the NSP1II Speaker Package (consists of 4 N24's and 1 N-Center) without a sub yet. Here is what the manual says on the JBL NSP1II...
N24's(surrounds and fronts)(4 inch woofer)
Frequency Response (-3db)
75hz-25khz
N-Center(center)(4 inch woofer)
Frequency Response (-3db)
80hz-20khz
I am confused because I am not sure whether to to keep the default setting (100hz) or change it.
What exactly does the crossover frequency do and can I cause any damage by changing it? At what setting would my speakers sound the best at? Or should I just leave it at the default setting?
I am getting my dayton powered 10" sub tomorrow and how should the crossover on there be set after I set the one on the receiver. I'm thinking of leaving the crossover on the receiver at 100hz since 80hz might be to low for the 4 inch woofer. So if I were to stick with the 100hz setting on the receiver where should the sub be set at?
Thanks
