TG717 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Posted July 9, 2014 My kenwood excelon has a lpf setting on it. I was wondering if its best to use that or set the lpf on the amp. Or perhaps both? the head unit would let me know exactly where its at, setting it on the amp would just be a guess.
alaskanzx5 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Posted July 9, 2014 On the deck like you said gives you an exact setting and imo better just because you can more easily adjust it while sitting there listening to it. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.
philrab Posted July 9, 2014 Report Posted July 9, 2014 Assuming it's accurate. I've heard Kenwood's LPF's are pretty close, other brands vary a bit. Personally, I'm using my Kenwood deck's LPF's untill I get a CC1, then we'll see how accurate they really are. 2015 Toyota Tacoma Build Thread 2007 Mazda 3; 5000K HID's, Kenwood Excelon KDC-X997, Infinity Reference 6.5 comps in front and coaxials in the rear doors, JL 320.4 four channel, Rab Designs built ported enclosure with an SA12, Kenwood monoblock, Redline Leater shift boot/e-brake boot/center console cover, JBR short shifter/shifter bushings/rear motor mount.

Weigel21 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Posted July 9, 2014 One or the other, but NOT both, that can create an undesired crossover point and slope.
Lrlooly Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 So if I wanted to use the head unit. What would I set the amp at? And if I wanted to use the amp what would I set the head unit at?
islandpride684 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 So if I wanted to use the head unit. What would I set the amp at? And if I wanted to use the amp what would I set the head unit at? hard to tell on most amps unless you got a CC1...they should make that shit digital...i set mine at 80 Build Log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186921-blk9te-07-yukon-slo-mo-build/page-3?hl=%2Bblk9te#entry2881410
jakmagic Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 Remember if you set your LP, or any other filters on your head unit and you remove your battery for a long enough period of time, it may reset your settings.

Karkov Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 HU at 80 and turn amp LPF all the way up. HU will cut it off at 80 so setting the amp all the way up is just in case you can't turn it off on amp. I also believe in not using both. Because I have a CC-1 I like using the one on the amps better.
