Adding a F113 to my system
I will be adding a F113 to my system and will be using a MEN 220 as a active crossover. The sub will only be used with my two channel setup to complement a pair of 802Ds. Any suggestions for a good starting point?
Thank ED

Good choice, the F113 subs are nice.

Ed.......When I was using my MEN220 as an active crossover my choice was the Linkwitz-Riley 4th order crossover with a crossover point of 38Hz. That will probably be a great starting point for your 802D's. Then just use the Master Gain on the f113 to feather the bottom until you are satisfied with the low frerquency integration. Don't forget to set the f113's crossover point above the MEN220's, perhaps around 80hz so there will be no conflict between the subwoofers built-in active crossover and the MEN220.

Thanks Dan
I'm really looking forward to adding this sub. Seems that folks are very happy with it. I have a nice SACD selected to try it out ( Tchaikovsky 1812 Cincinnati Pops Orchestra) Thank you for the starting point suggestions. I want to reduce the time needed setting it up so I can listen to the sub. I can adjust the crossover to the perfect? setting after the sub is broken in. Thanks ED
