My front speakers are Monitor70's and I was wondering what I should set the frequency crossover at for my two sub's. What phase should I set them at? What frequency should the Monitor70's be set at if they are set to large aswell.

Thanks

    The average answer will be 80Hz but really the best answer is play with it and it's whatever sounds best to you. Personally Id rather have a 'incorrect; setting that sounds better to be versus a 'correct' one.

    Also I dont know much but often there are no absolutes or 'correct' answers in this hobby. Always constant fiddling and tweaking... :)

    Try setting the mains to "small" and putting the crossover to 80 or 60.

    *Assuming RCA cable for subs.
