I just wanted to confirm I have the correct crossover settings on my receiver. I have an Onkyo TX-SR308, SF5000 Sony tower front speakers, FR is 45hz-50khz, YSW215 Yamaha sub, 20hz-200hz, Polk FX wireless surround, 48hz-50khz. I haven't upgraded my centers speaker yet, but it is very small and I don't know the FR. I have my sub crossover set all the way up, and my receiver has the crossover set at 80hz. Does this sound reasonable?
Thanks to all you experts.

    Yes, if the sub has no LFE in to allow you to bypass the internal crossover, then you should set the crossover to the highest available crossover point.

    You should set the crossovers for all of your speakers to 80Hz, and the LPF of LFE control to 120Hz if it has one.
