Settings for speakers

[corny]

I have been trying to do some research on how to best setup my configuration but a lot of this info is going over my head so I figured I would just ask if someone could help me with the correct settings.

The main issue I am having right now is that the subwoofer is not putting out any volume at all really, and I am not sure what to do with all the frequency information or what size I should make my 8's.

I have:
XMC-1

2 Stealth 8's in FR/FL connected via XLR
    Frequency Response:
    30 Hz to 23 kHz + / -1.75 dB
    28 Hz to 32 kHz +0 / -6 dB    

2 Airmotiv 6's in SR/SL connected via XLR
    Frequency Response:
    43 Hz to 23 kHz +/- 1.7 dB
    40 Hz to 26 kHz +0 / -6 dB

1 Center channel Martin Logan Motif X 
    Frequency Response: 73–20,000 Hz ±3dB

1 definitive supercube III subwoofer connected via LFE
    Frequency Response: 16Hz – 200Hz
    Low-Level High Pass: 40Hz – 150Hz (variable) 12dB per octave
    Speaker Level High Pass: 80 Hz (6 dB per octave)
    Low Level Low Pass Filter: 24dB/octave continuously adjustable variable (40 – 150 Hz) plus Unfiltered LFE direct coupled input.
    Phase Control: 0 degrees – 180 degrees (continuously variable)

Not familiar with any of your equipment, however base on what I know I would set the size to small and setting for subwoofer to LFE

I would do what bluemeanies says. Try setting your speakers to small and the crossover at 80Hz and see what that gets you.

small
sub speakers set to 60 HZ (based on your main speakers frequency down to 30 HZ
subsonic filter 12 db
set audio on STEREO not DIRECT for 2 CH
For surround use all the gimmick settings

Thanks, I set them to small, is there a specific settings to change the sub to LFE? I have the sub plugged into the left LFE channel and if I crank the volume all the way up on the xmc and the sub itself I can hear it slightly rumbling but I have to be right next to it (no other speakers on at this point)

Apparently my sub was defective.  I found some forum theads about this particular sub having issues with the crossover controls and after a hackery soldering job, it is working correctly again.

Thanks for the info everyone!

If anyone is curious in the future for what fixed the definitive technology supercube III issue not having any sound:
