scalawag Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Fellow Klipschers, would like your feedback-opinion on optimum set-up for Synergy Sub-12. My Yamaha CA1000 doesn't have a sub-out, so after much research on the Web, I decided to use RCA Y-cables at the pre-outs - one end of each RCA Y goes to L&R main-ins, other ends go to L&R ins on Sub-12. After trying different positions in listening room (15x18x8, drapes, carpet, furniture) the Sub sounded best on front wall, just inboard of right side La Scala (recently upgraded with Crites x-overs). Sub roll-off is set at around 70Hz, gain is set at around 1-o'clock position. Correct phase was determined via SPL meter. I am pleased with the overall sound, but am wondering if this is the optimum set-up for the equipment I have. I would welcome all responses with appreciation and respect. Thanks.

Guest srobak Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Without a sub-out on your pre-amp/receiver (and consequently an integrated xover), yes - that is probably the next best thing you can do. I have my Sub12 crossed at 80 - but to each their own So long as you are enjoying the sound - that is what counts. Maybe in the near future it will be time to look for a new pre-amp/receiver?

scalawag Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 Updating the amp had crossed my mind, but I still enjoy my older equipment and do not want to part with them unnecessarily. Then again, nothing lasts forever, right? Anyway, thanks for your response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
