filmguy Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 hi - i have a marantz sr4300 a/v reciever with a fixed crossover of 100 hz(when front is set to small). my mains are rated to 45hz; which means that ideally i shld be crossing over at 90hz. i was wondering if i connect my sub out to the line level input of my rw12 and set the fronts to small and the crossover on the RW to 90(or even 80)hz what will happen? will i lose out on the 80-100 hz material? or is it like someone was telling me that if set the crosover on the sub to 80 it will send back the 80- 100 signals back to the amp which means i'll have an effective cross of 80hz and will not lose any info as i was afraid.

CECAA850 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 From everything I have read, you should only use 1 crossover. If your receiver is filtering out 100Hz and up, and your sub is filtering 80 Hz and up, I would think you would loose the 80 yo 100 range. Let the receiver do the crossover work and disable the crossover on the sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
