I would appreciate some help.

I have Polk CS-400 center,RT-55's main. RT-35's surround ( and a soon to be CS-245 rear center).
What "size" should I set them to.
All to "small", all "large", or a combination? ( the manual say's to set it to each speaker's size)


Also, my receiver has a "pre-out" for the sub.
(a JBL DP-10)
I have it hooked up to the 'L' and 'R' Line inputs on the sub (and nothing plugged into the "high pass" outputs)
The sub has "high pass" and "low pass" adjustments
From what I've read, the high pass adjustment has no effect on the sound but I can hear a difference when I adjust the low pass knob.
From some posts I've read, it says that I should turn the low pass all the way up, clockwise.
What's the best way to arrange this for the speaker sizes and the sub set-up ??

Thanks for any help.

Since you have a sub , set the other speakers to small. Set your receiver's crossover to 80 hz, and turn the sub crossover as high as it will go.

Setting the speakers to small will allow the sub to handle the
Low Frequency Effects (LFE) and free up the speakers to handle the mid and high frequencies.

All speakers should be set to "small", subwoofer to "yes", and if your receiver has an "LFE Out" and it is filtered, the crossover point is usually between 80 - 120Hz. If your receiver has an adjustable crossover point, set it to somewhere between 80 - 100Hz. Connect your sub using a subwoofer cable from the "LFE Out" on the receiver to the "LFE In" or "Line Level In" on the sub.

80-100db? Get the Goddamn term straight, esp if Frank acts as 'Pete', and you want to act as 'Re-Pete'.

Hi guys I just came back for another adventures in the Pointless Forest.

You see once upon a time in the town of Point, everything - all the buildings, trees, and even the people were pointed. Except for one little round-headed kid named Oblio (http://www.harrynilsson.com/images/ona.gif). Oblio did not have a point.:)

sooooo Rooster, what should I expect when huffing paint thinner? :confused:

Perhaps :p
to huff a muff is much like diveing for bearded clams... or... going to lunch where all there was to eat sloppy joe's could be called a nooner. :cool:

oh the sloppy joe is good eaten.

Tour2ma,

Decided on the unit but know, just trying to find the most reputable e-tailer to buy it from.

Does anyone know if there's such a list of of reputable e-tailers for electronics to be found somewhere?

Thanks

That would be the way to go. That way he can use the Denon’s crossovers.
