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.

Klipsch Synergy Quintet III Microsystem Series is the successor to its name with the Quintet II system, best-selling business plan surround speakers of all time. In addition to its ability to play louder than its predecessor, the 5.0 surround speakers with a tweeter level and a lot of improvements in design. The speakers are too small to produce enough bass, Klipsch recommends pairing the system at $ 500 with its Synergy Series Sub-10 ($ 400) or U12 ($ 500) subwoofers - the addition of 0.1 critical for home theater.
And as NefCanuck explained about your concern question I me too agree with him.
1) Yes, adjusting the size of small speakers sends all low-frequency effects information for your sub.
2) To cut-off frequency on the sub it depends on what your handset and instructions say to do.
3) most of the time switch is set at phase 0, so check manually.
4) you are looking for is a good indicator, the higher the guage the thicker gauge wire. Do not be absorbed by the snake oil, the wire "Monster" or some other nonsense. Hit the Home Depot and Lowe's and get at least 12 gauge.
