reedal Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 Using the crossovers with the comps? Yes. They are def loud but maybe my expectations where too high.Inside of the crossovers there are two switches on the tweeter side. The one closest to the speaker terminals is for the cutoff frequency. I would recommend not touching that one. The one in the upper right is the attenuation level. From top to bottom, it is 0dB, -3dB, -6dB. The -6dB setting will make your tweeters quieter, the 0dB setting will mean there is no attenuating the input power that goes to the tweeters. If yours is currently set to the -6dB, you can move it up one click to the -3dB setting, which will double the power going to the tweeters.They are set I. The middle at -3 and the and the cutoff is in the middle if you bump the attenuator up to 0dB, that will double power going to the tweeters. That's up to you. But if the shop installed everything for you, and you change settings that they may have taken note of, then you may void any chance at a warranty you have. If you did the install yourself, then there's always a chance of a warranty from whatever retailer you bought them from SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32

Ratski Posted April 20, 2016 Author Report Posted April 20, 2016 The speakers sound better in hpf on the amp and not full. They are tuned to bee 100hz and up. I will play them again tomorrow and see what I think again before I make any changes. Prob get a second opinion as well. I'm still waiting on my subs to be finished up so hopefully soon those will be here

White Lightning Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 As you approach max output you will lose headroom and run the risk of clipping them. You would be better off getting a bigger 2 channel so you won't have to max it out.Absolutely. Just like the gain is not a volume knob ... It's not a output power booster either. Amp makes power with or not gain. Kenwood / HELIX / Linear Power (For The Love Of Music) / Brutal Sounds / OverKill Electric Co Questions About Sound Quality ?? Try Here ...
