Trying to use Audessey to set some levels on my Onkyo 875 and Quad L-ite apeakers. I'm not convinced as to how well it's doing it though.

With respect to db - why is setting some as + and some as -? is this simply 'volume'?

In relation to each other, which speakers should have the highest db levels? Centre, Fronts etc is there a certain order - ie centre highest etc, and how do they all relate to the sub?

How should crossovers work? should the frequency set for the speakers be lower than that set for the sub?

Sorry for the sheer basic level of my questions but totally confused by it all.

It's setting levels relative toi each other. See my post in your other thread on this topic, and try running Audyssey again. To recap, run the set-up with the sub's controls set to maximum level, the highest possible crossover setting - sometimes indicated as LFE -, the phase control set to 0 and any automatic power on/off system set to power on.

Edit: OK found an L-ite manual. Set the sub to max voilume - ie 99 - filter off and phase to 0.
