Emil Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Hey there, I'm wondering if anyone could help me out with my setup. I've just added an RSW-12, and it's connected to the sub pre-out of my Integra DTR 5.2 receiver. I read on the Integra website that the receiver has a set crossover of 80 hz, so my question is in this case does the crossover knob setting on my sub come into effect or is predetermined by the receiver at 80 hz. I've tried adjusting it while playing a test tone but I can't seem to hear any difference. I'm also curious as to what effect disabling or enabling the LFE mode will have if the signal is coming from the sub pre-out of the receiver. Thanks in advance for any advice.

jimmy4300 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 You don't want two crossovers affecting the sub. The receiver's crossover is the one to use. Set the sub to LFE, which eliminates any crossover in the sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emil Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 What if I'd like to bypass the receiver's crossover setting? How would I go about doing that? Ideally I would like to try and tweak the sub crossover so that I can get the best combination with my mains and centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Use your receiver to get the best combination with your mains and center. [Y] Its much easier and it will work the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good advice The crossover on the sub should be defeated or freq set to highest,and the receiver do its work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emil Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 My receiver doesn't have an adjustable crossover frequency though, it is 80 hz by default. The setup sounds great at the moment, but I'm curious if I can somehow bypass the receivers set crossover and use the sub crossover to tweak my sound.

garymd Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Then set the switch on the back of the sub to "Enable" and that will allow you to use the subs internal crossover (disables LFE mode). http://www.klipsch.com/media/products/owners-manuals/RSW%20Sub%20English.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
