In Reply to: RE: Setting up sub levels posted by Kal Rubinson on February 24, 2012 at 17:23:46
I have a Parasound AVC 1800 Preamp and a Parasound 1500 A high current amp, 125 WPC? The speakers are full range ADS L810 3- ways. The subwoofer is a Dayton Audio 12" long throw with dual ports.

I think your amp is rated higher than that for power. I have a Parasound HCA1500a amplifier and it is rated at 205 watts RMS at 8 ohms.
See page 32 in the Parasound manual and follow the instructions. Where you and I spoke of LFE, we should be using Parasound's term LPF. Also, since you cannot vary Parasound's 80Hz filter, I suggest trying the setting for your main speakers as LARGE and as SMALL. With the former, only the dedicated LFE signal will go to the sub while with the latter, all low bass is rerouted to the sub. Thus, the sub will be out of the system for stereo sources if you set it to LARGE. See what works best in your situation.
If you have surround speakers, set them to SMALL and follow Parasound's instructions for setting channel levels and delays on page 33.

Thanks Kal. Unfortunately, there is no difference in sound between the large and small settings, to my ear. My speakers are large a/d/s L810s and do handle low frequencies well, so I use the large setting.
I'm also confused about setting the sub level (gain, volume?) on the Parasound. I have it set at 10, which is the highest setting.
