Sure I did all that:

1. I set the crossovers on all my channels to 80Hz and the EP350 crossover was all way up at 120Hz.

2. Calibrated reverence level from DVE did wake the sub up and the SPL was between 75dB and 80dV. However, movies and CD's with plenty of bass were having a problem - and the sub was asleep until the main level was at -20. And that was not the receiver problem - my other sub, Onkyo, was happy to awake up at normal levels.

Thanks,
