    Rti10- Large
    Csi5- Small (60hz)
    Rt25i- Small (80hz)

    when you get a sub set the rti10's to 40.

    No, the lower frequencies from the center and surrounds are going to your fronts so your fronts are pretty much doing all frequencies.

    does that make sense
    AVR: H/K AVR240
    Fronts: Monitor 50s
    Center: CSI3
    surrounds: R15s
    Sub:Velodyne DPS10
    Dvd/Cd: Samsung HD upconverter (for now)
    TV: 50" Sammy Plasma
    game hardware: 360 and gcn.

    default means that the crossover is at 100hz straight from the factory. bad, bad, bad.

    Large= no crossover. Set it like most would do back in the pro-logic days.
    Front- Large
    Center-Small
    Surround-Small

    if your crossover is adjustable, then do what i said earlier. Those rti10's will sound better with the center and surround bass being directed to them.
