PLEASE help me with my 5:1 setup settings

[umbucker]

I recently changed the setting on my sub to filter off all frequencies above 50Hz which has improved the bass 10 fold!! However I am having trouble correctly setting this correctly for 5;1....By using the crossover settings on my amp I cannot lower the crossover frequency below 80Hz which filled my room full of muddy bass with delay issues through my sub. However now I have filtered this off the whole sound is improved with much deeper impact bass though the sub.

That said will I now be missing all frequencies between 50 and 80Hz on the LFE 1) channel ?? I know If I set the sub to OFF it will send the LFE to my L and R speakers, but is there any way of sending LFE to the main speakers while keeping the Sub on (My amp is a DENON AVR2808) Ideally I would like the LFE to be put through my main speakers but with my sub re enforcing below 50Hz

Is this posible ???

I am not familiar with your specific amp, but on most you can choose whether to set your speakers as 'large' or 'small'.

If you want all the bass frequencies in the left and right channels to be passed to the left and right speakers instead of the sub, you will need to set these speakers as 'large' (irrespective of there physical size). This will still keep your sub in play for the dedicated LFE channel, plus any bass frequencies below the cross over point occuring in any of the other channels (set as 'small').

If you want these same bass frequencies to be sent to your sub as well, there may be a 'double bass' (or similarly named option) that will send the bass frequencies below your cross over point, to both the sub AND the front L+ R. Though I have to say, this is often not a very good option, and it can ruin the bass in a system due to timing issues from the different bass sources etc.
