Sutliff Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 System in sig in current ... I know it is essentially "personal preference", but maybe I can be pointed in the right direction so I can stop chasing my tail ... & getting back aches from getting in my trunk to play with amp settings ... Here is what is likely a simple dilemma: The T400-2 runs my 6.5" components up front, passive x-overs ( http://us.infinitysy...-perfect61.html ). I have the selector on HighPass, but still needs to be set on something. ??? 24dB-Octave CrossoverSensitivity: 90dBFrequency response: 75Hz – 23kHz, ±3dB The T500-1bdCP runnin' the Fi's ( http://store.ficaraudio.com/ib312/ ) just keeps me befuddled. Some say 80-100Hz, others 100-120Hz. But when I set it there, I know I am missing so much other available frequencies for this type of IB setup, ... at least I think. Is 155Hz too high? I know these are subs, & they are made to go low, & boy they DO ... & to truly make up the separation, I would have to look into some sort of mid-bass addition ... maybe some 8's or 6.75's, or the like, on another amp to take up some of the fill between the subs, & these components. PS: Yes, I have a DD-1, & have set the gains, ... I have even talked to 2 tech guys at Rockford about gains ... but each time I was a dunderhead, & forgot to talk to them about freq./x-over points. #Ugh. Thank you, Folks.

shogen Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Personally I'd set the HP filter on the T400 to the area of 60-80hz .... whatever sounds better to you... as far as the IB's go..... Again you can set to 100hz and be done with it.... or go a little higher so it meet the components at around 80hz.... off topic - photos of IB setup pwease??? System in sig in current ...

Sutliff Posted July 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 They fire up through the OEM 6x9 holes & other OEM holes & notches. Not a single hole or anything was modded.
