m00n Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Ok, I am reading about the RSW-12 sub. It says about the input: quote: LINE IN This input is designed as a general purpose input for the sub. Depending upon the position of the "Low Pass Enable/Disable" switch, this input can either be filtered by the built-in Low Pass(LP) crossover, or unfiltered for use as an LFE input with an external crossover. Ok so what is LFE? Do I want LFE Enabled or dissabled? What polarity do I want 0/180? Oh and one more VERY important question. This sub has two speakers, yet only one cover. That just scares the crapola out of me considering I two boys. A one year old and a four year old. Little boys like to poke at things. Can I go down to some store and get a metal grill and mount it to the sub cabnet with wood screws without voiding the warrenty or having a bad affect on the sound of the sub? ------------------ m00n's lunar system RF-3II Front floors RC-3II Center RS-3II Surrounds RSW-12 Subwoofer Harman Kardon AVR 520 Toshiba SD 3205 Samsung 27" Flatscreen This message has been edited by m00n on 04-15-2002 at 02:04 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 moon, please do read the attached for a good explanation of the dif between low bass and LFE. when you hook the the rsw to the sub preout as you should imho, you want the "LFE" low pass crossover switch on disable. i'd leave it there unless you want to switch it back/forth for 5.1 vs 2-channel. on the hk, set sub:yes/on & i'd set all speaks to small to start. you can try switching just the front rf-3 to large & see if the bass quality deteriorates any. most find it sounds best to leave all small & let a good sub handle the low bass though. as for the phase, have the wife switch it back/forth for you while playing some real bassy material. leave it where you get the most bass impact. if you don't hear any dif as many don't, leave it on 0. can't help much on the last part. sorry. ------------------ My Home Systems Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
