Well, the 60 Hz on the EQ and the 50 Hz on the amp are both too low in my opinion. I would suggest to try to set it up to around 90 Hz and listen to it. Of course, it also depends on where is the crossover point for your front/rear speakers.

Bottom line is, you have to experience with different settings and decide it for yourself. For me when I finally finished my system it took about two months to set everything up correctly. I listened every configuration for a few days at least or a week and changed it afterwards.

Have fun
