Hello HT forumers.
I have a question.
A audio/video dealer where I live suggested that the sub setting on the receiver should be set to the highest db output and from there adjust the subwoofer's output accordingly. The idea is that since the receiver's sub-out connection is only a signal boost and does not affect it's amplifiers, then this is okay. Setting the receiver's sub-out signal to max will require the sub-out setting on the back of the sub to be lower so the sub's amplifier does not work as hard or as hot.
For example: My Onkyo TX-SR600's sub-out setting is maxed out at +12db and I lowered my Klipsch KSW-10 sub's rear output setting from 9.5 (11 being maximum) to 7.5 to get the same power output thus enabling the sub's 225 watt Mosfet amplifier to run cooler or not as hard.
Just for your information all my speakers are set to small, my sub's frequency knob is set to max (120 hz) and my receiver's subwoofer setting is crossed over at 80 hz.
Does this type of sub/receiver output setting, as this dealer suggested, make sense or am I missing anything here?
I'm fairly new to home theatre.
Thanks people
