    crossover point?

    I'm setting up the bass management of my avr and it says in the manual:

    " Before making any changes to the settings for
    the crossover point, we suggest that you find the
    crossover point for the speakers in each of the four
    groupings, front left/right, center front, surround and
    surround back, by looking at the specifications page
    of each speaker’s owner’s manual, by getting that
    information from the manufacturer’s Web site, or
    by contacting your dealer or the manufacturer’s
    customer service department. You will need this figure
    to accurately configure the next group of settings."

    Now I'm checking the specs of my speakers and I don't know which one to choose from. Is it the frequency response(52Hz - 20kHz ± 3dB on reference axis), frequency range( -6dB at 43Hz and 30kHz ) or Crossover frequency(4kHz )? I do have several choices 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz and 200Hz. Factory default is set to 100Hz. Thanks for any input.

    The crossover to the higher frequency drivers doesn't matter.

    This is only used if you have a subwoofer. If you do set your speakers to small and start with the 80Hz setting for your sub.
