All connections complete & initial start-up.
After 27 days of researching, planning, purchasing, receiving, installing, connecting, and praying, I finally fired up my system on Sunday.
Except for the TV, all my purchases were done online. Several items were backordered which delayed my installation which for me allowed me the time to read-up on product manuals and get the most out of this new hobby. I took my time and paid special attention to detail as far as making sure all my wiring and connections were secure and complete.
I was delighted that when I powered everything up that all my connections proved successful!
Now its time for the last phase of this project. getting the most out of all my Audio / Video components.
One of the first challenges I have encountered is setting up the RM20 Sub / Sat speaker system. I wired the system as recommended by Polk (AVR Left & Right speakers out to Sub first, from Sub to speakers), on AVR, Speaker setup as Large, Sub Off.
Question, on the back of the Sub is a Volume and Frequency dial. What would be the best way to get the speakers to work efficiently and sound the best. The manual does not provide any details as far how to set-up the sub.
Thanks in advance!

Try the volume at around 1:00 O'Clock as a starting point and then adjust to taste. For the Frequency start at around 120hz or 130hz and again experiment for what you think is the best sound.

Thanks dbournival,
I did as you suggested. My room is 13 ft x 17 ft. Even at low AVR volume it sounds great. This weekend I plan to watch a DVD with plenty of action so that i can further fine tune the system at a high volume. thanks!My Gear:

How did the settings work for you? I am still figuring the Crossover setting out myself.
