HELP!!!! I keep tripping my receiver off

Equipment is listed below, really starting to get frustrated that movies are starting to get shut down whena loud bang or explosion goes through the speakers. BTW The 2 subs are set at the middle position on the sub itself. In the receivers set up all the speakers are set to a +2.5 level except the subs which are set to a +1.0 level.

ANY advice is appriciated and thanks

Sounds like your receiver in going into some kind of protection mode.

However, first thing I recommend with those speakers is to change them all to small, especially if you have 2 subs. Set all the crossovers at 80hz for your speakers (although your 70's could handle being set at 60-70hz) and at either 80hz or 120 hz for your sub in the receivers set-up. On the subs, I would keep the volume at 1/2, but make sure you open the phase completely (the low pass filter) so your subs will accept the complete LFE signal being sent from your receiver. Also, check your db levels (perhaps get an SPL meter) as you may be running your speakers pretty hot when set at large along with those db levels, but this is a guess on my part.

What kind of volume level on the display are you running your set-up when watching a blu too?

Try that for a start, and maybe you will get better results from your receiver.....
