XLR8ED,
Great for you that you have the Triton Ones!!!! Most of us are just drooling over the idea.
And I guess most of us, me included, would think you do not need to cross it over at all, that you can play it full range, with just the speaker input. Let the speaker's internal crossover do it's job.
HOWEVER, it has come out on this forum, that SOME receivers and such MAY limit the amount of bass they will send to the front speakers, perhaps wrongly thinking that most speakers cannot handle full range signals, and they send the deepest bass via LFE.
IF you are thinking that is your case, then I would not cross it over above 40 Hz, just my experience with the Triton 2s.
I am sure the Moderator Dude will chime in on this with the right answer.
Thanks for asking here and bringing this up.
Please keep us informed as to what you do and how it works out for you.
Happy listening,
God Bless,
Wayne

Below is the only suggested way to do set up with powered bass Tritons, running LFE input cables, and no other external subwoofers:

1. Set Triton L/R mains to large (full band, NO crossover)
2. SET subwoofer to YES
3. Subwoofer crossover setting (if there is one in your bass management menu) should be 120 HZ and set to Bypass.
D-Sonic m3a-600m Mono > McIntosh MC152 > Primaluna ProLogue Premium Preamp > Oppo UDP205 > Decware ZLC > Triton Reference > Isoacoustics Gaia 2 > Canare 4S11 Speaker Cables > Audience Forte 3, Anticable L3 & Shunyata Venom PC's

Every great performance deserves an Audience!

Bro Anthem,
you may be right, but are you sure?
That is not what works best for me in my system. That is crossed over WAY too high for me. BUT then again, I am running my sub on the same LFE, so don't want those higher frequencies going to it.
I would say experiment and see what sounds best.
God Bless,
Wayne

For LFE only, this is the correct setting.
