The subwoofer crossover issue depends on the speakers. I would have to hear
them to make a solid recommendation, but THX standard is 100hz.


Actually, it's 80 Hz.

Depending
on your receiver model it may have a subwoofer or LFE test tone. Use it to
send a signal to the subwoofer. Adjust the gain with the knob on the back
of the sub up until you begin to hear distortion. Once you do back it down
a bit. From there adjust the level at the amp to your liking. Try to keep
the opening of the sub at least 150% of the diameter of the opening away
from the wall. You will probably get a lot of different opinions on theses
topics. Good luck and have fun!


Yep, that all sounds fine.
