Velodyne DPS-12

[dinkeye]

I picked up a Velodyne DPS-12 up here in Canada at Futureshop for $429 CDN. Not too bad of a price. I was originally going to pick up a 10 inch, but at that price I jumped on it.
So far, it sounds AWESOME!! I wasn't expecting much, but I am quite impressed for the price. It really seems to pack a punch.
I think Sheep has one of these.
Anyways, a couple questions:
I set the crossover on my Yamaha RXV2500 at 80Hz and the SWFR Phase at normal. I also switched my mains and rears to "small". Are these the ideal settings?

Experiment with the phase, but everything else is spot on.

Actually, you and me have similar systems now..

Energy fronts, Velodyne subwoofers....

I not only own one, I plug it!

I'm no expert but it sounds like a good (and the usually recommended) setting.
The 80Hz crossover will depend on your main speakers, from what I undertsand if they are tiny you may want to raise that a bit but for good bookshelf or bigger mains 80Hz should do fine.

Have you set the DPS-12 lowpass crossover to the direct setting?

I picked up a DPS-12 myself this week and while I haven't put it through its paces yet I'm with ya on the quite impressed. It definitely shakes my 2300 cu.ft. listening area (when its supposed too) and easily outperforms my Klipsch KSW-10, as it should. I'll also try hooking them up at the same time.
