Absolutely no word from the insurance co yet (To be fair they did tell me point blank when I called them Monday that the best they could do was end of week for the adjuster to go look at the car.. and this was with me explaining the transportation issues (Can't drive a car without the foot controls :( )

So far neck, back and left arm issues (Left arm feels like it has a permanent case of "pins & needles" which the most annoying thing ATM) seeing the chiropractor tomorrow to work up a treatment plan...

Meanwhile I sit here housebound and plan for the death of the little wet nosed punk that caused this, the more inventive and gruesome the better <_<

NefCanuck,Mar 27 2008, 07:56 PM Wrote:Okay I'll try and answer your questions as best as I can:

1) Yes, setting speaker size to small sends all Low Frequency Effects (LFE) information to your sub.

2) The answer here is dependent on what your receiver & speaker instructions say to do.  For example my Denon and Tannoy speakers had me set the crossover to halfway and then let the receiver sweat the messy stuff.

3) Again check in the manuals, but most times the phase switch is set at 0

4) By good you're looking at guage, the higher the guage # the thicker the wire.  Don't get sucked in by the snake oil of "Monster" wire or other nonsense.  Hit up Home Depot or Lowes and get at least 12 guage wire.

Hope that helped.

Since they are a sub sat combo they don't produce bass ( they only reach 100hrz)

1}when I set the speaker size to small the does the bass go to the sub?

2}If I set the speaker size to small what do I do about the cut-off frequency on the sub adjust it to 100hrz or let the receiver do it?

3}the phase switch says 0-180 what is that.??

4} is it worth getting good speaker wire?

My receiver is a Yamaha RXV-596 if that helps at all.

Thanks for any help.  ;)
