Cross-over question

[howard stern]

Hello everyone I did a search before posting and did not seem to find the answer I was look for. Here is my setup:
Athena AS-R1 Bi-Pole Rear Surround Center ASR1
Athena Point5 System MK II Surround Speakers System
YAMAHA HTR-5750 6.1 Channel Digital Home Theater Receiver
YAMAHA SW315 10" Powered Subwoofer

Athena's directions state I should set the Center and all SAT's to large in the setup, I did do that, what should the cross-over be set to, it defaulted to 80. Here are the specs of the SAT's:

Frequency response: 60 Hz - 20 kHz +/-3 dB
Recommended amplifier power: 20 - 100 watts
Room efficiency: 89 dB
Crossover point: 2.0 kHz
I think I should change the cross-over in the receiver to 60 instead of 80 also
does that sound right? Thanks for the help again BTW I love the Athena speakers music sounds great I just need to get the movies sounding good now.

Set the speakers to small. Turn the subs crossover all the way up. Play a dvd with a frequency sweep. Adjust the receivers crossover until you have a seemless transition from sat to sub with no volume loss. 80 or 100 Hz will probably be your best setting.

Play a dvd with a frequency sweep.

if you don't have one of the dedicated test disks, use something like the Star Wars trilogy that has the THX test routines
