Where do you cross your RTI's?
Just hooked up a new pair of A7's and lovin' em a LOT!
But I'm curious about those with RTI's and X.1 systems, where do you cross them over to the sub? I used to cross my TSI500's at 80 but I've initially set the RTI's at 60 with the center CSi A6 set at 80Hz. I'm using a PSW505 sub.
How about any of you?

I cross mine at 80 (RTi10s... predecessors of the RTiA7s). I fooled around with 40 and 60... Couldn't tell too much difference with most HT material.

I cross them at 60 and the CSi A6 at 60 as well. I run them at full (large) for music and multi-channel music.
Play around with it and see what works for you. Goodluck -
You can try it at any point, but if you have the juice to run them large and cross the LFE over at 80, then you'll hear a difference. The bass won't be re-directed from the mains and the sub will have less output, but you'll gain a full range sound from the A7s and you might appreciate it. Running the speakers small and cutting at 60 or 80 might make a difference depending on which blends better too. Crossing them at 40 takes too much info from the LFE channel.

I just trie crossing everythin at 40 and preferred the previous 60/80/80. Still haven't tried running full range yet, but definitely will.
