After reading http://www.rythmikaudio.com/download/F8_quickguide.pdf and other threads (like Recommended initial subwoofer settings and Rythmik F8) I'm totally lost how to setup the Rythmik F8 I've ordered when it arrives.

Please help! (I'm sorry that asking specific questions is even beyond me.)

I'm pairing it with a "5.1" Paradigm Soundscape
https://www.paradigm.com/products-cu...el=soundscape/
soundbar which has a fixed crossover of 80 Hz.

** In case details would be helpful **

Room is:
9.5 feet wide,
12 feet long (but my listening distance is only 6.5 feet from the soundbar)

I'm thinking the subwoofer can be about 6 to 8 feet from my listening position.

The room sucks acoustically; it's quite filled with stuff, so the subwoofer won't have much floor/wall to reflect off of.

My only priority is movies.

Oh, and I'm a rather sensitive film listener. I found that dialog was too faint when I adjusted the soundbar's volume to a level that I liked movie explosions to be. (I've mostly solved this with the soundbar's settings for treble [raised] and bass [lowered a bit]. I wonder if having the separate subwoofer might help me optimize this further.)
