i'm trying to make sense of sub xover in bass management. in my HT set up i have my mains and surrounds set on large and my center set on small (this set up sounds best to me after experimenting) my center only goes down to 90hz. my mains reach down to 40hz and my yamaha reciever is set for BOTH so that my sub and mains share the bass load. i have heard so many conflicting opinions regarding the way to set the sub xover. some say leave it set at 120hz to let the sub pick up any signal up to that point. others say set the sub at THX referance of 80hz. others say set the xover at your recievers xover setting which would be 90hz. some say if the sub duplicates the mains in some frequencies this will reinforce that frequency, others say it will cancel each other out and give you less bass. can anyone help me make heads or tails of this?
