Use Subwoofer crossover or processor crossover?


In your home theater setup, do you use the crossover in your processor or do you use the subwoofer crossover? Do you disable one and just use the other?

I use a Sunfire Theater Grand II processor and a Velodyne DD-18 subwoofer.

My whole system is posted below.

I'd like your opinions on which one you use and why.

...thanks, mitch

I run 5 equal channels in LARGE and use a pair of subs for the x.1 signal only (crossover fully bypassed). I use my DVD Player's DAC for my main listen (audio out) and bypass my receivers DSP all together.

When I upgrade my AVR I plan on using the receivers Front L/R pre-outs to the sub's Line-In, employing the sub's crossover to help fill the bottom end of my front speakers. Hopefully this will smooth out my rooms low end response (the current graph looks like a mountain range).
