Ok, right now, I'm using a 2.1 setup with my fronts and Sub. I was uncertain whether or not I wanted to get better Polk stuff for the center and surrounds. So I returned the rest - for the time being while I make up my mind.
Anyways, the auto MCCAC set my fronts at 11 feet (right) and sub at 15 feet, even though it is right beside and a foot back of my left front. I understand it has to take delay into effect, but is this too far? I have a open concept living room with kitchen behind it.
Also, the fronts are set to -2.5 and -3.0 DBL and sub set to -8.5 DBL.
I manually set the speakers to small and left the sub crossover on the receiver to 80hz. My Velodyne's sub crossover is also set at 80hz. Should I set it to "direct" or leave it?
I find that the bass isn't really shaking me and it helped greatly when I set the Sub's DBL at -5.0 in the MCCAC. My sub placement is pretty good, as that corner of the room has a lot of bass when I crawled around.
Any advice on ballpark settings that should help?
