I have an Onkyo HT-R500(similar to TX-SR500) with four RCA Pro-LS100 surrounds and an Audiosource SW-Twelve sub. For theater it sounds amazing, but for music the sat's get a bit distorted when cranked up. Almost like there are forced to drive too much bass. I know that this set up isnt ideal for music.
The specs are as follows:
RCA sat's: 150w max, 180-20KHz, 2 way.
Audiosource sub: 150RMS, 20Hz-250Hz, 12" woof, crossover freq 40Hz-180Hz.
I have the sub crossover on the receiver set at 120Hz and on sub mode 3. The crossover on the sub itself is set to 180Hz. Are my settings right? What can I do to clean it up a bit. Thanks!
