Had a change of mind and successfully did my very first sub repair. A speaker repair shop near me charged $30, but cheapo me, anted up $15 for the foam surround and some glue, and I got the job done. I'm now checking out how well the sub functions in different locations and I'm assessing whether or not I will need a bigger sub.
I have the RS meter and Avia, which I used the first time I set up the speakers. However, as I don't do this too often, I'm going to have to muddle through the process as I really have no expertise with this stuff, nor do I remember what I did. I have set my mains, center and surrounds to small. Bass effect is set to sub (could be set to both or just Main---Is this the right setting???). Hooked the sub via its LFE input to my Yamaha RXV-800. I believe that when I do this, the Yammy will automatically cross-over at 88hz??? Not sure on how to set bass: Normal or -10dB??? Also, not sure if I need to set sub (Paradigm PDR-10, 10 years old) cross-over to anything (can go from 50 to 150). Then again, with the way I have it set up, I think that the cross-over dial doesn't function???
Of course, any advice is seriously welcomed.
