Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions sub, global or independent?

Ahh, then my stepmom does not apply. Pity, that.

Can I have some crack now. I'm totally confused.

me too

....(that I'm confused - not that I want some crack)...

On a crack side note - you guys have heard that former Mayor Marion Barry of D.C. (and infamous crack notariety) is trying to make a political comeback. This will be comeback number two. His previous attempt was foiled when he was caught with marijuana and - yup, you guessed it - crack in his car a couple of years ago.

Anyone remember this line "The bitch set me up..."

If he is elected to city council, I just may have to move out.

Yea! The bi$%h did set me up!

OK, after being conscious for more than 3 hours, I can see what you're getting at. The global/independant thing has nothing to do with the triple or quadruple crossover, it just refers to whether the bass is managed the same on all of the inputs (CD, DVD, etc). In other words, will the speakers be set to small with an 80 Hz crossover for CDs, DVDs, radio, VCR, etc. or not?

Can I start this thread all over? I know less now than when I first asked the question. And now I have even more questions about other settings on my H/K that I'm scared to ask all you crack heads.
Just kidding (about the crack head thing)

Brady, Ken's answer is uncracked. Global here doesn't mean that all speakers are necessarily set with the same crossover frequency to the sub, but that whatever settings those are, they apply identically to all inputs for different sources(such as CD and DVD).

Thank you.

poor Ken, get's the answer right and still gets blamed for being a crack-head! You just can't win for trying!

I dont really think anyone here is a crack head, and I thank EVERYONE HERE for putting up with my ignorance. I think maybe I asked the question in the wrong order of questions to be asked.
In light of all thats been said, I now ask what is crossover ? I know there are crossover settings on my H/K reciever, I just dont understand them, or how I should go about setting them. Maybe after I figure out crossover settings I'll understand more about global / independant sub settings.
My last reciever was cheepo JVC that had none of the bells and whistles my new H/K has. Hell, it took me a full day just to hook up my CD,DVD/VCR, and DirectTV box to the thing.
Again sorry for the ignorance, and thanks for all the input.
