Hello guys, Here's my problem. I bought a used Yamaha RX-V750 ($50)
Onkyo Skf-540f Fronts and center
Onkyo Skm-540s Rears and backs
Onkyo Skw-540 sub
Polk Psw-250 sub
Now here's why i'm going crazy. I had no idea about these auto calibrating thingys and i'm not sure i'd have the slightest clue on how to properly set my stuff up. There's so many options i have no clue what half of them are
This is what i did. I set everything to small. Bass to subs, crossover 80. Treble 3.5 Bass 3.5
What's driving me mad is i'm constantly adjusting the db levels on the Fronts,center, subs.. i don't even want to think about the 5 band Eq for center channel that i play with constantly.
I know my system is sub-par but to me it sounds pretty good but i wish i could have it set up with the computer or whatever you guys are using to calibrate your systems.
Do you think i should get a new Receiver that has the calibrating device?
One more thing... i used a Y split cable from my sub pre out and ran a cable to each sub. I'm still moving them around to find the right spots for them but for what they are they rumble.. i just got knocking on my door they said their room was shaking lol... is it safe to split off the sub pre out like that? can it damage anything or lose any power?
Sorry one more thing.. I have An optical wire from my tv to receiver.. hdmi from my bluray to tv.. Now if i play a bluray or dvd and i losing any sound quality ?
Sorry last one.. i'm using cheap speaker wire , will it really make a difference in sound if i used a premium wire?
i appreciate any feedback and advice,
thank you
