home theater (crossover freq, decibel, speaker size and speaker distance) setting?
I have a Onkyo HTS-590S home theater
front: 3-1/8" Cone (Woofer), 3/4" Ceramic (Tweeter)
center: 3-1/8" Cone (Woofer) × 2, 3/4" Ceramic (Tweeter)
surround: 3-1/8" Cone (Woofer), 3/4" Ceramic (Tweeter)
passive sub: 8" (20 cm) Cone
units reference — 3-1/8" = 8cm, 3/4" = 2cm
1) what crossover freq should i set for best audio. i have options 40hz , 50hz, 60hz, 100hz etc..is lower the better?
2) what decibel should i specify for front, center, subwoofer and surround. the amp gives me choice from -12db to +12db. is higher the better ?
3) when asked to choose the speaker size , i am not sure whether to choose small or large for the center, front and surround, i know that the subwoofer is large.
4) i have measured the distance from my seating position and set
front 8 ft ,center 7ft , surround 7ft , woofer 10ft
should i specify the exact distance or should i specify a couple of feet more so that the amp outputs more power assuming the speakers are far
