grumpy what kind of answer is that? are you a 40 yr old virgin?



Answer
Bad idea.

Those speakers WILL BURN OUT YOUR RECEIVER.

Did that "old panasonic" system come with a single skinny receiver + DVD player in one box? These are probably ultra-cheap plastic speakers that are NOT designed to work with any other equipment.

Many times these speakers are 3-4 ohms which are used to advertise over-inflated power numbers. These low-ohm speakers are getting close to a direct short. Hooking a nice $1,000 receiver to these pieces-of-crap will over-heat the circuits and ruin your receiver (or at least greatly reduce the life-span).


If you dont believe me - at least do this: Hit your local CraigsList and find an older -but name brand- AV receiver from Yamaha, Dennon, Onkyo or Sony,.

This way when you destroy it, you will only be out $100-$200 instead of more.

Should i set my ; Front , surround and centre to LARGE or SMALL ? this is in the ONKYO RECEIVER setup options. Also should i leave double bass on ? and how much will i set the crossover?
Im with 5.1 bose surround system.



Answer
"Im with 5.1 bose surround system" My sincere condolences.

Double bass sounds like something that should be left off. The Bose isn't really designed to work that well... with a normal receiver. If you are connecting the cubes directly to the receiver then you definitely want small speaker with the highest possible crossover setting. (Ideally 260 Hz) If you are connecting the receiver to the Bose bass module and the cubes to the module then you would use large speaker or perhaps small speaker with the lowest possible crossover setting ideally 40 Hz or less.
