thewolf Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Taking a quick poll on what your LP crossover setting is for an RSW12 running with mid 80's Cornwall II's. Usage is primarily movie watching. I'll use this as a starting point to fine tune the sub. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewolf Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Wow.....No one has this combo? Does my question make sense? Hellooooooo anybody out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMcGoo Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 The rule of thumb is that you set your processor's crossover one full octave above the lowest frequency that your mains play well. In this case, a crossover of 50 Hz or 60 Hz is probably best. However, you can try as high as 80 Hz. Experiment with your room and gear. No two rooms are the same. Placement of your subwoofer is as important as the crossover frequency. The problem is that bass frequencies do not propagate evenly. The room causes peaks and nulls at various locations. You do not want to sit in a null; you'd keep turning it up and hear nothing. I have both the RSW-12 and 15 with RF-7s. At present I have my crossover set at 50 Hz, but 80 hz is good as well. The 50 Hz crossover gives me stereo bass from the RF-7s down to 50 Hz. The two subs help even out the bass as does my EQ. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I vote for 80Hz since that is what they were using in the video mastering studios...and yes, set your cornwalls to small.

JJkizak Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Mine is set for 80 with the sub all the way up on volume. If you try the PLC-II setting on the amp and you have a bass in the center (Colin Dussalt with Robert Lockwood) you will toast your little bass nodes into total awsomeness.
