Setting up my Onkyo 805!

[DTS-HD]

Ok so i ran the Audyssey and when i go to my speakers settings where

Fronts=full band
Center=40Hz
Surround=70Hz
LPF of LFE=80Hz THX

Is that right? Its sounds pretty good but im pretty sure it can sound better

whats your setup/speakers?

I never use that setup for my system, I've got all my speakers set to large. What kind of speakers do you have?

I would at least run the mic calibration to get speaker distances and the EQ set, even if you decide to run everything as full band.

Fronts= Infinity P362
Center= Infinity Beta C250
Sub= Velodyne Vx-10
Surr= Sonys

most who arnt happy with the auto calibration use a spl meter to calibrate thier system

I would recommend 80 hz for all speakers, and 120 hz for LPF of LFE. Also, you should have some distance between your front speakers and the back wall. Looking at your setup, I'd say give it atleast 6".

oh ok ill put them all 2 80Hz

So whats the differences sorry im kind of new 2 all of this lol

Just to clarify, do you mean 120 Hz set as the cutoff on the actual subwoofer controls? If so, then I agree with you. Set all your main channels to 80 Hz, and make sure your actual subwoofer control is set higher, so you don't lose any audio information. Your receiver won't have to work as hard, and your bass will sound tighter this way. Having multiple low frequency cutoffs in your system is less than ideal.

Yup! This way no frequency is lost on the .1 sub channel.

Get ride of full band(Large) and use your crossovers (Small) for your fronts. Your center's range is 80-200kHz, most will say to give yourself an extra 10-20hz buffer, so anywhere from 80-100 should be OK. But these are excellent speakers, so 80 should be OK. Your fronts state a range of 38-20kHz, which if you use the +10-20 rule would come in around 60hz, but again these speakers are very good and anywhere from 60-80 should be OK. You'll have to listen to it to see what sounds the best to you. I say keep your sub at 120 hz and let it do the job it is designed for with the bass. Not sure about your surrounds, but 80hz is what I would set them to. This is just my 2 cents, but I know others here might be able to elaborate further in much more detail if you desire. Good Luck!

Yeah i changed all my speakers 2 80Hz and my LFE=120Hz it sounds really good now and the bass alot tighter

All of these look suspect to me. For the fronts I would go wth 80Hz as suggested by sheedoe. The center is really odd. 40Hz is below the spec of the speaker. I have a C360 and Audyssey (well actually the 805 since Audyssey just reports the measured frequency response to the AVR) set it to 120Hz. The Sony's no less than 80Hz, but I am surprised that the 805 set them that low.
