New To Home Theater: Need Help Calibrating/Setting Crossover Frequency

Ybaiani, something here is not right. There's no way these speakers go down that low. They are great speakers but not that great.

Do me a favor, google "50 hrz note" and download it. Basically it is a 10 second 50 hrz dash.

Let me know if it comes out of any speakers, and if yes - from which.

If 40 is your cutoff point (given that you have all speakers cut off) then the 50 hrz note is supposed to come out of the speakers, but I kind of doubt they will dig that low, especially under normal listening levels.

If you do hear the note - you are golden.

Doing it right now. Trying to find the frequency but am not having any luck. Will post updates here in a sec.

Okay, here's what I got so far.

These were the files I tested.

All of these came out of the subwoofer.
30hz
40hz
50hz
60hz

I find that very strange as the EQ is what gave these crossover frequencies. What do you think? Are there better files to test with as these files were only coming out of the subwoofer??

so the notes over 60 came from the speakers?

Perhaps set all speakers to 80 then.

You must make sure that the speakers can play the bottom end of the signal that you are routing to them. For example, if 50 hrz is sent to them but they cannot play it, then your crossover should be no lower than 60
