JAKEETON Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Thought I would ask for some opinions on setting up my sub with my new speakers.I just got a pair of rf-62's and a rc-62.For now Im using my JBL 12" sub.It's rated at 25hz-150hz.I was just curious what others would recommend for my settings.I know a lot of this is a matter of personal taste.I just would like to verify Im in the ballpark.Right now I have my speakers set to "small".I have the reciever lpf set to 100hz.Where would you put the crossover on the backm of the sub itself?Sorry if these are dumb questions.I just want to get the most out of these Klipsch speakers.

willland Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Right now I have my speakers set to "small".I have the reciever lpf set to 100hz. Good starting point. Where would you put the crossover on the backm of the sub itself? If you are letting your receiver handle bass management, set your subs crossover control at "disable"(if it allows) or the highest setting. Sorry if these are dumb questions.I just want to get the most out of these Klipsch speakers. No dumb questions here. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nezff Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 You can play around with 80hz on your AVR. Thats where alot of people have theirs. 120hz will give you more output so to speak, but might localize the sub more. trial and error.

cornfedksboy Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 With RF-62s, I'd set the receiver cross-over between 50 and 100 Hz...You will maxamize your system's sound somewhere in that range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAKEETON Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Thanks for the input.This brought up another question for me.On the speaker setup menu it asks if I have a THX speaker.If I choose no,I can adjust the LPF to whatever I want.If I choose yes,the setting goes to 80hz and cannot be changed.Is this anything I should be concerned with?I selected no to enable me to change the setting.

nezff Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Not sure which AVR you are using, but Onkyos show THX standard when you select 80hz. Have you run any room correction if your AVR has it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornfedksboy Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Those speakers aren't THX speakers and are designed for EQ as necessary. Run any room correction if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
