Integra 5.6 Receiver

[Pence117]

I have a Integra 5.6 receiver, and it is powering AudioPro Klipsch 5.1 surround sound speakers. I have already gone through on set of these speakers becuase I ended up blowing all of them before. The guy at our local audio store said that it was because the receiver was putting out too much power for the small satelite speakers. Here are the specs of the speakers, hopefully this will help with my question.

550 Watts Of Power Handling Capability (100 Watts x 4, 150 Watt RMS Powered Subwoofer)

4 Satellite Speakers: 2-Way, Bass Reflex With 1" Soft Dome Tweeter, 3.5" Woofer

Center Channel: 2-Way, Bass Reflex With 1" Soft Dome Tweeter, 3.5" Woofer

Subwoofer: 150 Watt ACE-Bass Powered Subwoofer, 6.5" Long-Throw Drive Unit

Satellite/Center Frequency Range: 100 - 22,000 Hz

Satellite/Center Sensitivity: 87 dB

Satellite/Center Impedance: 8 ohms

Satellite/Center Crossover Frequency: 6,000 Hz

Satellite/Center Connectors: Heavy-Duty Binding Posts

My question is how or what feature do I change on my receiver so there is a smaller wattage, or whatever, going to my speakers so I don't blow them once again... lol
Any advice would be great!!
Thanks, Justin

go into the setup menu on the integra receiver and set the Front channels to "small". This will eliminate any really low frequencies to enter any speaker but the subwoofer. I think it's like anything under 90hz would be redirected to the sub. To my knowledge, any time you are running bookshelf or cube speakers you always want to set the receiver to small on the Fronts and Rears! Don't forget to do the same for your rears and center.

Awesome, thanks for the input with that I knew that I needed to do it but was unsure on what the setting was called. I will look at it as soon as I get home.
Thanks again
