I have been playing around with my Sony Digital processer looking for the best speaker setup. What is the best way to determine the db level for my center, fronts, and rears.

I am also wondering if my speaker size settings should be large or small. I always thought they sounded better at the large setting, but am wondering if the bass would be better directed to my sub. I have an Infinity CC2 center, RS4 fronts, and RS1 rear speakers. Any help would be appreciated or if anyone knows a good web site for insight. Thanks.

Generally speaking, it's best to send bass to subwoofer. Of course, you should use what sounds best to you.

As far as db levels, the best way to set them is with a radio shack db meter and with test signals from a test disc. The meter only costs about $30, but it is probably the most valueable tool to set up a hometheater accurately. Set a main speaker to about 70db and balance all of the speakers to that level from listening postion.

If that is too involved for you, you should just set it by ear. You ultimately want equal sound db coming from each speaker.
