michael- when you set your sub's level to about 80%, do you do that in the receiver or via the gain knob on the sub?

what is the warranty period for the sub-12? 2 or 5 years? thanks

i didn't use a SPL meter, just the manual calibration on the receiver which spits out tones and etc.

is setting up the speaker level for the subwoofer higher than the rest of the speakers fine? i think its 10dB higher than the rest of the speakers, based on the chart below. Speaker Level (Control Range: -10.0 to +10 dB | Control step: 0.5 dB | Initial setting: 0.0 dB) - all of the speakers are around the middle, which i am assuming is 0 dB and the subwoofer level is all the way towards the right which is +9db -__________+ FL --------|--------- FR ---------|-------- C --------||-------- SWFR -----------------| SL ----------|------- SR ---------|-------- *my room has a weird arrangement so the speakers aren't exactly even with each other

i am not

i have the F3 Home Theater System (F3, C3, S3, Sub-12) with a Yamaha RX-V661 receiver (http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/productdetail.html?CNTID=547398). Is the receiver fine for the F3 Home Theater System, or is it underpowered?

dary- thanks for your input. When i set my crossover to 80hz, i get less bass.

I am new to the home theater setup. i have the F3 Home Theater System (F3, C3, S3, Sub-12) with a Yamaha RX-V661 receiver (http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/productdetail.html?CNTID=547398). My room size is about 15x20 (but there is a stair case in it, so its a little smaller) and hardwood. i am using Monster Ultra 600 Subwoofer Cable to connect to the 'LEFT/LFE' input on the sub and its located in the corner. Using Saving Private Ryan and The Matrix as testers, and the DVD player is a Toshiba SD-3805 via digital coxial. Originally i set the gain to half way and the lowpass all the way up to 120hz and let the Yamaha receiver do the auto calibration via a microphone, but the bass wasn't boomy. So then i turned the gain a notch up and did some manual calibration: Front SP - large Center SP - small surround L/R Sp - small LFE/BASS OUT - subwoofer Crossover - freq 200hz subwoofer phase - normal Speaker Level (Control Range: -10.0 to +10 dB | Control step: 0.5 dB | Initial setting: 0.0 dB) - all of the speakers are around the middle, which i am assuming is 0 dB and the subwoofer level is all the way towards the right which is +9db -__________+ FL --------|--------- FR ---------|-------- C --------||-------- SWFR -----------------| SL ----------|------- SR ---------|-------- *my room has a weird arrangement so the speakers aren't exactly even with each other For the LFE Level: the 'SPEAKER' is -10dB After manually setting up the calibration, the bass was better, but not great. Whats the ideal way for setting up the sub-12? I like to feel the bass when watching movies Should i connect the Y-adapter to the 'LFE/LEFT' and 'RIGHT' input on the sub12? Should i turn the Gain all the way up, even though the yamaha manual recommends it to be half way. If i turn the gain all the way up, will it cause any harm towards the receiver or subwoofer? And is the yamaha receiver good enough for these speakers, or is it underpowered? any help is appreciated. Thank you.
