About 3 days ago.....and i am still unsure....

so i have narrowed the question down.....

Correct answer is neither.

+ will boost bass sounds

- will decrease bass sounds I have no idea , but i love your beard You sure got me confused, hang on I will ask Rudolph.Oh sorry, he's gone to the pub. db means decibels and is a measure of sound presure(how loud it is), so +6db is louder than -6db,but it doesn't mean is has lower bass. Set the level at 0db (the middle setting)

Set the crossover to 200Hz and let your receiver do the work of seperating the bass from the mid and high frequencies.

If that still doesn't make sense, you need to call in a professional (not that "all knowing friend") from a reputable dealer in your area. Try finding a dealer near you through CEDIA. the dB setting is like a volume setting. -6 dB is low, +6 dB is high.

I suggest you experiment with the crossover and level settings. Based on the question, setting the crossover at the lowest frequency (120 Hz) and level at its highest setting (+6 dB) seems like the obvious answer, but I'd recommend experimenting with the settings for the typical program material you play. Everyone's hearing is slightly different and also speaker placement and room features can affect what you hear.

Set it to whatever sounds best to you. Adjusting the setting to +6dB will get you louder bass at the crossover point, but it depends upon what frequency (in Hz) you crossover at.
