I would appreciate some help.
I have Polk CS-400 center,RT-55's main. RT-35's surround ( and a soon to be CS-245 rear center).
What "size" should I set them to.
All to "small", all "large", or a combination? ( the manual say's to set it to each speaker's size)
Also, my receiver has a "pre-out" for the sub.
(a JBL DP-10)
I have it hooked up to the 'L' and 'R' Line inputs on the sub (and nothing plugged into the "high pass" outputs)
The sub has "high pass" and "low pass" adjustments
From what I've read, the high pass adjustment has no effect on the sound but I can hear a difference when I adjust the low pass knob.
From some posts I've read, it says that I should turn the low pass all the way up, clockwise.
What's the best way to arrange this for the speaker sizes and the sub set-up ??
Thanks for any help.

Since you have a sub , set the other speakers to small. Set your receiver's crossover to 80 hz, and turn the sub crossover as high as it will go.
Setting the speakers to small will allow the sub to handle the
Low Frequency Effects (LFE) and free up the speakers to handle the mid and high frequencies. -
All speakers should be set to "small", subwoofer to "yes", and if your receiver has an "LFE Out" and it is filtered, the crossover point is usually between 80 - 120Hz. If your receiver has an adjustable crossover point, set it to somewhere between 80 - 100Hz. Connect your sub using a subwoofer cable from the "LFE Out" on the receiver to the "LFE In" or "Line Level In" on the sub.Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support
group for that. It's called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar.

This thread had the The Polk Club Way! all over it. You guys have sure come a long way since Christmas. Sub-hook-up"At the first bend, I had the clear sensation that Tazio had taken it badly and that we would end up in the ditch; I felt myself stiffen as I waited for the crunch. Instead, we found ourselves on the next straight with the car in a perfect position. I looked at him, his rugged face was calm, just as it always was, and certainly not the face of someone who had just escaped a hair-raising spin. I had the same sensation at the second bend. By the fourth or fifth bend I began to understand; in the meantime, I had noticed that through the entire bend Tazio did not lift his foot from the accelerator, and that, in fact, it was flat on the floor. As bend followed bend, I discovered his secret. Nuvolari entered the bend somewhat earlier than my driver's instinct would have told me to. But he went into the bend in an unusual way: with one movement he aimed the nose of the car at the inside edge, just where the curve itself started. His foot was flat down, and he had obviously changed down to the right gear before going through this fearsome rigmarole. In this way he put the car into a four-wheel drift, making the most of the thrust of the centrifugal force and keeping it on the road with the traction of the driving wheels. Throughout the bend the car shaved the inside edge, and when the bend turned into the straight the car was in the normal position for accelerating down it, with no need for any corrections."

Hi guys I just came back for another adventures in the Pointless Forest.
You see once upon a time in the town of Point, everything - all the buildings, trees, and even the people were pointed. Except for one little round-headed kid named Oblio. Oblio did not have a point.

sooooo Rooster, what should I expect when huffing paint thinner?
Perhaps
to huff a muff is much like diveing for bearded clams... or... going to lunch where all there was to eat sloppy joe's could be called a nooner. :cool:
oh the sloppy joe is good eaten.

Whoa, Hes asking about a Denon 3803. If I understand your blurb you are saying the high-pass filter on the Sub is not in play with the LFE input.Originally posted by Tour2ma

That would be the way to go. That way he can use the Denons crossovers."At the first bend, I had the clear sensation that Tazio had taken it badly and that we would end up in the ditch; I felt myself stiffen as I waited for the crunch.
