Bill of Rights. In that case, yes, set the front as large. Now i understand. Setting my crossover at 80 hertz on my towers, center and surrounds also gives me more power for cleaner highs and mid range. I also noticed a heat reduction in my AVR. The highs and mids sound much stronger and less strained. Thanks guys!! Very glad to hear! Running a higher crossover is almost like getting a higher powered amp.
I like to run at least 90 hertz on my mains, and on smaller speakers, but every situations is different. Thanks for the feedback! I have a question. I was running 1 polk audio PSW , but then I added another one to my system, is it in my head or are the 2 subwoofers playing deeper bass than just 1 could achieve? You can use my YouTube playlist to see how deep 1 goes vs 2. As the bass drops, you will notice somewhere under 50 hertz it will start to get quieter and taper off.
What settings would you recommend? The subs in the tower are active that way, correct? You could also try running a lower crossover, say 40 hertz, and bumping your Dynamo gain a bit to boost the low end. One of the few times I would recommend such a thing, but it has a lot to do with the built in subs in the towers.
With subs that already have a deeper presentation, I say go the opposite way and increase crossover, but your situation is unique with a sealed sub and powered sub towers. Thank you for your reply Ryan! I made the following changes and everything sounds really great now. Great, thanks for reporting back! Now you can try this trick on adjusting the gain: Subwoofer Gain Hack video.
Great insight. Should they all be at 80Hz they are all fairly high-end , or left where they are to crossover earlier? Audyssey sets it at the lowest point where it is capable of producing output, but in terms of dynamics you can usually add hertz to that setting. For example, I run satellites that register 80 hertz on Audyssey at hertz. Sure, they will handle output between 80 and hertz, but the subs just handle it more dynamically. I tried helping someone with a basic subwoofer recently, and I was reminded how difficult it can be with a sub that gets louder at higher frequencies.
So if I set it to 60hz, the mains and sub will play all content from 60hz and below at the same time, but anything above 60hz will only be through the mains, NOT the sub. I agree that there is little info available. Setting it at 60 hertz probably leaves it with a hertz effective range assuming it does poorly under 40 hertz, cut off at 60 only leaves hertz functional bass range instead of hertz but setting it at will probably make it sound boomy.
Where that sub is struggling to keep it together, these subs will positively thrive. Thank you for getting this explanation correct.
So what about this… I have a 2. Turns out, if you switch it to pure, you get more grunt, IF you have powerful towers. I always avoided pure since the subs were deactivated.
Very useful and good explanation. Now thanks to you i have correct adjustments and settings and it sounds great. Last edited: May 1, Uridium said:. I thought setting my fronts as full range would allow them to handle some of the bass as they can easily allowing just the sub to deal with the really low down stuff?
I guess it probably comes down to letting something do the job its supposed to do So no matter how big or rather how low your speakers are they should leave the bass to the sub - after all thats what its supposed to do! But then again I suppose if something should be able to handle the bass then it does not hurt in trying it Im going to put my floorstanders back in my room and have a play - will settle on what I prefer as apposed to what it should be - and then give REW ago.

Just wanted to say thanks to the people who have replied to this thread, and to dunkle for starting it I too, am on a home theatre learning curve and found this info very useful. BradG said:. Come to think of it what happens then if you set your front speakers to 80hz or so therefore pushing most of the bass to your sub and you listen to music that is 2ch stereo. Yeah thanks for this thread dunkle, I was first to reply but the last 2 pages have shown me I know naff all about this.
