Help with Subwoofer settings with Nautilus speakers

[sm1]

Hi All,

I'm new to this forum, so a big hello!

I'm setting up a HT system with the followinh stuff- Nautilus 802s for main L+R. Nautilus HTM1 for the centre and Nautilus SCM1 for the rear L&R. I'm also using Lexicon MC12 Balanced for the pre-amp. For subs, I'm using a pair of Velodyne DDS12 for Main L+R.

Can anyone help with what crossover settings I use for the speakers so that I get the best from the system?

Many thanks

SM

What is the freq rating of the 802s? I have my B&W ASW800 sub Xover set at 50 Hz; my N804 mains freq response goes down to 45 Hz. A small overlap. I suggest a 5-10 Hz overlap between sub & mains.

Thanks for your input. The specs for the 802 say they go down to 38Hz +/- 2dB.

I should have mentioned that the Lexicon processor does the digital crossovers for the speakers so the L/R are already filtered at the chosen frequencies. The crossover settings are by-passed on the subs.

How do I deal with this?
