gotcha, when you said CC, I thought we were talking about Crossover, my mistake....
I'm with you, I first tried having my volume on the sub around 7 o'clock and the receiver was at about -2dB's, this was with and SPL of about 75/76 dBs. I have read where others like the sub a little hotter, so I have been experimenting. I think I have my receiver still on -2dB's, and have raised the sub volume to achieve about 80dB's like you have mentioned, which I believe is about 8 o'clock on the sub. I would have to recheck to make sure.
The other night a friend of mine brought over a DVD that had a bunch of DTS and Dolby sound demo's. There was one DTS track that blew both of our minds. There was also a Dolby track that when you closed your eyes, you felt like you were in an aquirium with bubbles popping all around you, it was amazing.
I love my 7.1 setup with my 4 Qs8's...
