Sub and LFE settings on Surround Processor


I am trying to tweak my home theater subs and am intertested in the groups experience with the sub and lfe settings. My surround processor has the capability of adjusting both for a variety of equipment including dvd,dish, cd ect. I am trying to get a feel for the balance between lfe and sub as well as the Hz for the crossover. Presently I have theater set 80Hz and the music at 60Hz. I would appreciate any input.

I have Revel Studios which do have a fairly good bass response at the low end. My problem is that my system allows me to control the level of the LFE and Subs separately as well as the Hz level. This allows three potential adjustment for each profile. Eldartford's point that I should take it up to the highest potential level is good for a try, but actually I have been going in the other direction. My speakers do pretty good and my feeling is at least on music to use them to the point where they don't pick up the low end that the subs could handle. On movies I don't want to kill the mains when I have two subs to handle all the kaboom crash stuff.
Tom what a reality. Bring the RTA I'll supply whatever. Moving the subs more to corners did cure the overload on movies.
