Does this sound right?

I just added a RW-10 to my HT system. I now have two subwoofers. The first is a SW-12II. My question is integrating the two subs together to get the best sound. Below is how I have set it up for now.

I have a Marantz SR-8300. Using the Sub out I used a Y to run a sub cable to each sub. Since, the SW-12 II does not have a LFE in I used a Y and use the R and L inputs just like I did prior to the RW-10. For the RW-10 I just used the LFE input. Using the LFE Sub out on the Marantz the crossover is 80HZ.

All my speakers are set to small. I individually set each sub at 75DB, and then I turned both on and made the final adjustment to 75DB. Then I adjusted both Phase controls. I found that the SW-12 II at 0 degrees and the RW-10 set at 180 degrees had the greatest output. I made the final adjustment for 75DB.

I can say this; the system sounds better overall. The bass is crisper and tighter. The only thing I cannot get to work it the auto off on the RW-10. I have let it sit for half hour nothing on and the green light is still on. Did I do this correctly or id there a better more efficient way?

I appreciate any help or advice.

I have the rw12, and as far as linking the two subs together, it sounds like you nailed it. The auto-off function on the rw10 should take effect after 15 minutes of inactivity. All I can think of is that you have the power switched to on AND the other chrome switchy thing set to ON instead of AUTO. Just double check that.

That was it, I had the "chrome switchy thing" set to ON instead of Auto. Works perfect now!

Thanks!!
