Xuhqtionerr Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Forgive me if this is a simple question. I have all of my speakers set to small with varying crossover frequencies based off of what they can handle 60-80hz basically. So on the back of my sub the dial reads from 40-120-lfe. What should I put this on to achieve the best sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Racing Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Well I'm not sure if this is right but I have mine set top lfe with crossover settings of 100-120 hertz and it sounds pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inMotionGraphics Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 You should set this dial to 120, or the maximum frequency on the sub. That way you're letting your AVR do all the bass management, which will use the various crossover settings you've chosen for each channel. At least this is how I've been doing it over the years... I also recommend double checking that you've left a bit of headroom in your crossover settings. In other words, if your main speakers are rated down to 55hz, don't assume setting your crossover at 60hz will automatically be the best setting, I'd generally go with 80hz in this case, but as always, use these guidelines as starting points, and then test, test, test... 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
