[QUOTE="windshear, post: 824913, member: 619"] You wont set the crossover according to the manufacturers specs. There are a number of ways to approach this. Firstly you can set all the crossovers to 80Hz which is the industry recommended level, excluding the surrounds which is being seen as only F3 capable at 120Hz so leave them at that. Otherwise set them at the crossover that sounds best for you (not recommended). Ultimately the best way and the way I do it is measure the frequency response in room at the main listening position and set the crossovers according to what gives you the best frequency response measured without exceeding the capability of the loudspeakers. Then you need to set up the frequency best response at the crossover splice by adjusting the subwoofer phase in relation to the mains. I take it a step further and try and ensure its in phase with all my speakers at the crossover splice, but it requires a lot of patience and a few extra "boxes" to achieve this with multiple subwoofers. Even if there is no LFE content in a mix the moment you engage bass management you offload those lower frequencies from the less capable speakers to the sub. [/QUOTE]
