Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Axiom subwoofer setting

Joe, can you set different crossover frequencies for the different speakers or do you have to pick one setting for mains, center and surrounds ? If the latter then 80 hz is usually best because the VP150, QS8 and M60 can all go down to 80.

If you can set the mains separately (ie another HK guy) then 60 is probably fine. I have gone as low as 40 on the mains when I run them in "large" and try to have the sub kick in where the M60s run out of steam.

If I had to guess, 60 hz will probably sound a tiny bit smoother, 80 hz will probably play a bit louder since the sub can carry more of the bass freight.

Having said that, if you don't have an HK (or something else with different x-over freqs for each speaker set) then you pretty much have to go with 80 or you'll get holes in the response from center and surrounds.
