SPL for KEH 5005 speakers

[idjsounds]

Just wondering what I should set my SPL level for my front, surround and subwoofer.


I just installed some KEH 5005 speakers. So far they rock. I also bought a Outlaw Audio LFM-1 plus subwoofer for some extra umfff.

I did buy a sound pressure meter from radio shack.

Thanks

There is no "should" when it comes to setting your SPL levels. Only you can decide how loud you want it.

This article will explain it better than I can, and set the x-over frequency in the receiver to 100 Hz. http://www.audioholics.com/tweaks/speaker-setup-guidelines/setting-speaker-levels-distance-in-a-surround-sound-system
