I couldn't find in the XR45 manual anything about whether the sub out is xo'd. I'm assuming it is. If so, do you know if it matches what you picked as the xo frequency for your mains? (100/150/200)

If you wanted more xo flexibility, I suppose you could go from your binding posts to the high-level inputs on a sub amp, but you are still handcuffed at 100/150/200 for your mains... right? (unless you went full range)

External xo units like the Marchands utilize the low-level outputs between the preamp and amp to set xo frequencies. Since the Panny is a receiver, you would need a unit that can take high-level inputs and outputs and place it between your receiver and speakers. Does such a beast exist?

Randog,

Enter the setup mode. Push the input selector 3 times until the display reads FILTER. You can then change the crossover between 100, 150 or 200.

The crossover can be draw back to the SA-XR45. It was not designed with the use that some Audiophools are making of it.

If you wish to change the crossover on your mains, you could run them full range and employ a passive crossover after the speaker outputs.

You would then need an additional electronic crossover for the sub out of Panny, if your sub-woofer doesn't already have one.

Wayne,

Does the sub-out have an internal crossover? It looks like the filter settings are for the mains.

Thanks,
Randy

The sub crossover point isn't able to be adjusted separately unless you set the mains to large. Otherwise, whatever frequency your mains are set for also controls the sub crossover frequency.

Thank you
