I should receive my MBM-12 this week. Looking at the owners manual I do not see where I should set the crossover on my receiver. Currently I have set to 80hz, I assume I would want to raise it to 120-150hz range.

What have you MBM-12 owners found as a good starting point?

BTW, I have a Denon 2808CI receiver.

Thanks,

Use a "Y" splitter on your LFE line to enable the 3.3 Turbo and MBM-12. Now set your 3.3 Turbo xover to 50hz (16hz to 50hz), the MBM-12 is already setup for 50hz to ??hz (?? = xover whatever you want it to be).
Calibrate with spl meter individually at about 75hz and then together they should be around 78hz. If you want to run hotter, then just raise each be a couple of points.
