There is no right setting, it's mostly a matter of personal preference. Most people set it at 80 hertz though.

Hi manu,

Start by setting the crossover frequency on the receiver at 80Hz for all speakers and subwoofer. For simplicity sake, set crossover switch to 'Out' on the subwoofer amplifier, which will bypass the internal crossover on the subwoofer. Later on, feel free to experiment with a crossover frequency on the receiver at 60Hz, but I don't recommend going any lower than that. If you feel that the subwoofer has too much upper bass energy using only the receiver's crossover, then you can always set crossover to 'In' on the subwoofer amplifier, and set the crossover knob to the same crossover frequency as that set on the receiver.

Thanks

Sincerely,

pete sir one more question as in specs of vtf2 mk3 it said 1000 watts peak what's that meaning actually i'm new to subwoofers technical explanation

[Pete_Hsu]

The peak power rating is essentially the peak amount of power that the amplifier can deliver in very short term bursts.

A fairly simple question I hope. Since I've only been a member of "high end" subwoofer sound for a month or so, when you say that the bass sounds "boomy" can you explain that in terms of what I should be listening for. Right now when watching the bass feels more like a strong vibration through the room and my body rather than, say, a large cannon going off or something along those sonic lines. I do have my VTF-2 tucked in the corner to the right of my display according to the manual and it is 10 inches from the back wall and 4-5 inches from the right side. The port side is facing the display and the whole unit is about 12 inches behind and 20 or so inches from the display (haven't seen any evidence of interference). Ran Audyssey (ony 3 positions) once since getting a new pre/pro and have to say that things sound very nice. Plan on running it again for all 8 but was curious what I should be listening for. thanks so much.

Hi totoro,

The term "boomy" is usually used to describe bass that lacks tightness and sounds uncontrolled. This is often due to poor placement and/or setup of the subwoofer.
