Large vs small ....LFE out...

I thought I had this figured out but wanted get some other opinions. I currently have my mains and center set to large, 4 surrounds to small and the crossover at 80hz...NOW...I also have my Bass/LFE setting on my Yamaha directed to sub(other choices being: sub/mains,and mains only). I guess my question is, there must be a cross over setting for the bass/lfe. I looked in the manual for the Yamaha but no info...Any ideas? I am assuming it has to be pretty low. My LCR have built in subs and being set on large more than handle movie soundtracks. Just curious what benefits if any snding lfe to sub vs sub and mains....

Typically ther is no crossover setting just for the LFE. LFE is a discrete channel of information and the recording engineer would have only recorded "low frequency effects" onto that channel. There is no need to do anything to account for this, other than set the subs on-board crossover point to the highest possible setting. Your receiver will send all of the LFE info to the sub, plus the under 80hz info from the surround (probably little to zero <80hz info on the descrete surround channels).

Enjoy,
