Setting up proper crossover freq. for Home Theater

You want the bass to be tight, not boomy.  You don't want to be able to localize, or tell that there's bass coming from the sub.  Too high of a crossover will do that.  But, too low of a crossover can be a problem if your other speakers can't reproduce low bass frequencies really well.

For instance, you might want to cross your smaller speakers at 100 or 120Hz.  As effects speakers they aren't usually designed to handle low bass frequencies.

Some set their center speaker crossover at 100 or 120Hz so that men's voices don't sound as boomy and resonant.
