what the Hz levels should be ?

[Ratty]

so here what i have ::
Onkyo TXNR 818
front - Boston Autistic T-1000
Sur mid - POLK AUDIO FXI-6
Rear sur - Bose 301's
center- Elemental Designs A6-6T6
sub 2x 15" reaction audio sorry don't remember the model #

it said for THX SPEAKERS to be at 80hz i dont have thx speakers ?

the sub are great they can handle alot...so don't need alot of bass from other speakers..
i just want the beast sound i can get, i watch alot of movies....

for some reason the rear speakers are on but i can't hear alot from them.
i really want to hear thing behind me...kinda freaky...lol
i also have bose 901's hooked up to a Onkyo A9050 but that for my music..

I would just run Audyssey if you haven't already. Run Audyssey, see if you like how everything sounds and if so leave it the way Aud sets it.

 

[Ratty]

well i don't have one lol i bought this used, but i have one from my Yamaha rv-573.
but i don't think that will work with the onkyo ?

Have one what? Audyssey mic? If it didn't come with the 818 when you bought it then:

Generally, there's not a lot of action in the rear channels. They are mostly silent except for rare occasions.

No, you must use the microphone which came (or should have come) with your onkyo 818. In future you should try to match front speakers to match within both brand and series

Audyssey mic?.... YA thats what i am missing.
thanks for the web link, i will get one ordered..

I would set the crossovers at 80 hz - and then just level match with
the test tones from the receiver - then try to enjoy your circus mix
of speakers.

Do not get caught up or carried away with the THX thing.

Your receiver should allow for some volume adjustment* but it's not going to put sounds where there was none to begin with.

* Find a manual on line. A little search should prove rewarding. ...and save that link. You're gonna need it.

AV receivers are pretty complex pieces of gear. This ain't no table radio or phonograph with a volume and tuning knob.

You could probably have gotten by by simply saving the link and viewing it on the 'puter.
