Questions on new subwoofer

[jomari]

Forgot about the quarter rule, good thing to bring up, but also considered his living quarters. its ideal, but if the WAF doesnt approve, all is moot.

yes. set all speakers to small.

Ok, so if I understand correctly, set the gain on the sub itself to a low setting and set the receiver to 0 and go from there? Also, I have the receiver AND sub set to 100hz on crossover. Should I set both to 80 if I have small speakers?

Thanks again for your help

Receiver - Odb
Subwoofer - set to appropriate levels based on the SPL meter and/or calibration disc.

Crossover points are determined by the speakers frequency responses (normally indicated by 30hz-22000khz) on the spec sheet and/or speakers detail on the back. follow the one octave rule, or better yet, keep at 80hz.

Anything over 100hz can be localized (your ear can determine where the lower frequencies are originating from)...
