CBdicX Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Hi, I have a set of RP8000F2 and they are very close to the rear wall, just 4cm. They get from Audyssey a crossover of 40 Hz. Can (need) I plug the ports, or use this 40, or higher, crossover as they do not play fullrange in this setup but are still very near to the wall ? (can not change that) I do have two 8 inch subs (32 Hz) also running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JefDC Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Off course. My RP8060FA's are put in the corner, for music I plug them for HT no plug. You won't damage the speakers, you change the frequency response; with a plug there is less bass volume but the frequency response goes a little bit deeper (I don' use a sub).

wuzzzer Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I would cross them at 80Hz and not worry about plugging the ports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 12 hours ago, CBdicX said: Can (need) I plug the ports Only trial and error will tell Plug the ports with some rolled up socks and listen I have a pair of L/R RC-7's in "tight" bookcases, positioned right up to the rear wall. Plugging them was a great improvement. (Yes, I know that they sound better unplugged at least 4 inches from the wall - just NOT possible.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, thank for your reply and others on my question 🙂 Will a lower crossover (below 80 Hz) use the ports more or less ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More. Strange, asked the same question to Klipsch before here, and get this answer now from suport: Setting the crossover higher would just introduce more frequencies being sent through that port. 😵 So this seems the other way around. Your answer was More by a lower crossover, Klipsch answer is More by higher crossover. I am no expert in crossovers but it seems to me that setting the crosover lower, will strain the ports more, like your answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
