If running subs should you cross over the m100s at 80hz?

For your space, you need all the drivers you can get. The trick is going to be coordinating it all.

Are you talking about Canes space? Or Rebulx?

How big is the space?

We're really having communications problems on this board, aren't we?

Canes's space. He has over 10,000 cu ft I think.

I didn't give a good answer. Canes will have to experiment and keep some notes. Does it sound too boomy? Does it sound slow? Are the HP drivers distorting because he's sitting 15 to 20 ft away and has it cranked? Etc.

I'd start off with no sub for a few days at least. Then add the 500 and start experimenting with the cross-over on the receiver and the 500.

I've found on all my combos, it sounds best when the sub and receiver are crossed at the same frequency. I have my actives crossed at 40 on the DSP and the 500s set to 40 as well. But that boils down to preference I suppose based on room dynamics.

I’m sitting at almost 12k cubic feet. It’ll definitely be an experiment. Starting small 5.1 and building up. Starting with my avr and then adding a 1500 5 channel. After that I’ll start adding more subs and speakers until I’m completely immersed in sound.

I don’t wax rhapsodic as well as Mojo.

Wow. That’s a big space. Is the volume multiplied by mostly floor space or is it a high vaulted ceiling I’m guessing that is giving the large volume?

Definitely an experiment for sure to pressurize that volume. That will be a fun build. Cool.

It’s an open basement with 9 foot ceilings but the floor layout is 52x25 but we are only using about half for the theater portion.

The 804's were = to my M100s (minus the tweeters) but the 800D3's for 30k were the best for me on the B&W line.

Seriously though it was 30k!!!

Got he Emotiva 5 channel amp tonight from a friend... it powered down twice when turning up the volume, not sure what thats about, but it's working now. listening... damn these 100s go loud! poor neighbors. I may get a citation tonight for the local sound ordinance.
