A little experiment time. Since you already have selected large and yes for sub I would try either 60 or 40 for a crossover. But you could try selecting small in speaker size and using 80 or 60 for a crossover which will take some heavy bass loads off your mains. This setup may allow your mains to only have to deal with highs, mid range and mid bass tones leaving the damanding bass tones to the sub. In the end what sounds best to you is the best setup.
thanks guys will try one more thing i saw on the other forum is something about a bypass on the sub i don't think mine has one i only see volume,freq and one other swith i think it said reverse if i am using the reciever for crossover should i not be using the one on the sub also
