M moreira85 Audioholic Chief Sep 28, 2009 #1 I always had my recievers sub output level set to 0. When I bought the behringer it said to play a movie with loud bass and adjust the recievers output level until the LED lights on the EQ get up to the yellow or red (clip point). I put in master and commander and adjusted as needed. I ended up turning up the recievers output level to +6.5 then turned my SVS gain down to about less than 1/3. It has concerned me that I turned it up to +6.5. Any thoughts on this? read this link under the heading "setting the input level on BFD" http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/bfdguide/

F fredk Audioholic General Sep 29, 2009 #4 Thats what I did once I set up my BFD. Recently I wondered if clipping on the BFD input display corresponds with clipping levels in the receiver. How do you know if you are pushing the receiver sub out into clipping?

M moreira85 Audioholic Chief Sep 29, 2009 #5 when i watched master and commander i set the output level so that the LEDs were in the yellow and occasionaly in the red. At the volume we watch movies at i have not even seen it come close to clipping.
