RM6800 with Onkyo 503 question

mchokshi

After reading so much about the double filtering effect, etc. I hooked up the front L+R speakers through the subwoofer as recommended by Polk. However on these front speakers only I hear a buzzing despite having no volume on the reciever. I hear silence from the other speakers. I rechecked the wire connectors and it appears they are well connected (16 g wire). The setup was as suggested (subwoofer=no which automatically sets the front speakers to large, crossover was 100). The subwoofer volume was at 60%. The buzzing did not go away with lowering.
One obvious next step is to hook up through the subwoofer out.
I will try that but any ideas on the buzzing?

Thanks

I have had your exact setup RM6800, Onkyo503 for 2 mos. Used Polk method for L&R spkrs & sub as well and all works great. Receiver settings nearly identical. I'm no expert but did you make sure spkr wires are in phase,+ pos to + pos, -neg to -neg for all front connections?
Hope you get solved and enjoy system as much as I do.

what kind of sub are you using?

Yes, I am enjoying the system and like it very much.
The subwoofer is the 10" sub that comes with the package.
