Default Sub setting with 805D?

Just received a new REL R528 today to use with my 805Ds.
What crossover setting have most of you found to be smoothest and most natural when pairing a sub with the 805Ds?

That is dependent on you room and speakers..... I think you should set it at what sounds best to you. I will check my setting and let you know but may not be correct match for the 805D's.

The my sub is seamless with the Futuras... You could at least use this as a starting point.

Hi Level Volume : 20
Crossover point : 24

Thank you!
My R528's lowest crossover point is 30 Htz. I believe. Also just realized it only shows minimum and maximum on the crossover dial. No hatch marks or settings listed in between. Kind of irritating... I guess that is RELs way of saying take your time and set it by ear huh?!

Sorry about that.... The G1 has a display on the front that shows the crossover settings. I would start out low on the volume and crossover point. Then increase them until the sub is little overpowering then dial it back a notch or two......
