Easy answer for RW12 phase & frequency setting?

[Hard 21]

I have my rig in a fairly small (not tiny) bedroom. Is there a recommended phase and frequency setting? I have almost no experience with subs. I have this one inbetween the right front and the TV about 7 inches from the wall.

P.S. I'm about to watch Master & Commander. Hope it's good.

Hard 21,

I'm in a similar situation and as new if not newer than you.

I have the followin:

RF35 - front

RC35 - Center

RS25 - Surround

RW12 - SUB

Yamaha XV-R2400

All monster M2s cables except surround, Monster flat cable

I've noticed the RW12 has an awsome kick but it's quite finiky on where it's placed. I've been hearing that is common with all subs. I hadn't noticed it with a Def Tech 200TL sub, which was rear ported. The Def Tech was not as clean though.

I have my phase set at 0. I've been told this is totally dependent on the room. I have my cross over set at 80 on the sub as well as the receiver.

I'm sure I havent' helped much. Hopefully others...way more informed than I, will help wih this question.

Haven't seen M&C yet....Hope you enjoy it.

If you connect your receivers subout to the LFE input on the sub

the crossover on the sub is disabled. Your receiver's cross-over

will handle this. I typically set the recievers cross over to 60hz if

you are using floorstanding speaker. Higher if you are using small

bookshelf or sat speakers. In terms of phase you can play around with

the setting but more than likely you will not hear a difference no

matter hwo it's set.

read the sub manual...it will help explain how to set the phase which is based on room and speaker placement and mains...etc etc

Also get the AVIA home theatrer essentials DVD it will explain it even further and give you some tests to make it easier
