XO freq setting

pmckeealaska

So I just moved and am setting up my 5.1 system again and I cant remember how I had everything set up. I know this will be a stupid question, but could those in the know on here tell me how my speakers should be setup for the following:

Size: small or large
Crossover frequency: I think I had it at 120Hz but for my LSi25's what would people recommend I have it set at?

I know these are total newbie questions but its been so long since I moved I forgot how all of this works. For some reason, my reciever went back to all the default settings so i dont remember what everything was set at before. Thanks for any help you can give!

I usually run all speakers to small and crossover set to 80hz.

On my mains, does it matter that the 25's have a powered subwoofer? Should I still set them to small?

LSi are speakers at 4 ohms. Check processor.

So I should set my mains to "small" even though the Lsi25's have a powered subwoofer in each speaker? I assume the subs in each are separate components even they're housed in the speaker rather than being a seperate sub? Just want to be sure before I make the switch!

Honestly i've never used powered speakers so someone can answer that better than I can.
