JBL Subwoofer ES 250 Configuration

[sagarmc0040]

Hi Guys,

I need help in bass managment for JBL ES250p subwoofer. I have the following speakers connected to Onkyo 609 receiver.

Center Speaker - JBL ES 25C - Frequency Response: 80Hz – 40kHz (–6dB) and Crossover Frequencies 3000Hz – 24dB/octave; 12000Hz – 18dB/octave
Fronts JBL ES 20 - Frequency Response: 60Hz – 40kHz (-3dB) and Crossover Frequencies: 3300Hz – 24dB/octave; 12000Hz – 18dB/octave
SurroundS - JBL ES 10 - Frequency Response: 65Hz – 40kHz (-3dB) and Crossover Frequencies: 3000Hz – 24dB/octave;9000Hz – 18dB/octave

On running "Audyssey eq" on onkyo receiver, the Fronts are set to 50Hz, Center to 40Hz and Surrounds to 50Hz. LFE is set to 120Hz.

I have set subwoofer level nob to 10 'O' Clock position and Phase switch is turned off. CrossOver nob is set to Maximum on Subwoofer at 150Hz.

My room size is 20X10.

Is there any problem in my above configuration ? If not, What changes should I make in above configuration?

Thanks,
Sagar

You cannot turn phase "off" you can only set it to 0, and as long as the sub is in the same area as the mains, then 0 would likely be the best choice. Your crossover is set as it should be at max. As for the volume, without an SPL meter it is more or less impossible to tell if that is "correct", but Audessey should help there. If the Audessey settings produce sound that works for you, then I'd say go with it.
