Crossover Setting Help Needed Badly

[reinke]

ok i have a alpine 9883, a american bass abx-2, and a crunch 1500.1. i am lost when it comes to using the crossover. i have never really messed with one before. here is how it is set now:

alpine 9883-80hz

abx-2- 100hz

crunch amp- 80 hz

normally i only usi my hu but i got a crossover for more flexability and i needed aline driver. when i was using only my amp on my AB Hd dual2 i have the crossover set at about 80hz and my gain was set with a dmm for 900 watts. when i added the crossoveri left the amps x-over point alone and set the abx-2's for 100hz. i am not sure if this is correct or even if having my point set at 80hz is good for a 15. basically i am asking how would i properlt set up this combo without a o scope.

If I were you I would run each of the settings at 100hz. Some people don't like their subs to play above 80 hz but imo I like the subs to play a little higher. It will also help you a little bit for comp reasons since it will let a bit more of a signal through instead of cutting it off at 80 hz.

would 100hz be good for 15's/

first thing is first... you should look at the specs for the sub itself and determine it's frequency range.... most 15's will not have any problems running at 100hz, but again, that all depends on the sub itself. Mind telling us what type of sub you are running?

with my setup i set my headunit to 50htz and my amp at around 80-100htz and if i listen to rock i just change the freq of the sub xover on the headunit up a lil bit, but subs dont rly have a prob playin around 100htz but i wouldn't go higher than 150 tho cause thats were midbass picks up at so ied keep it down low to around atleast 80 to 100 on the amp cause for some reason bass aint as punchy at a lower freq, but i keep my headunits sub output to 50htz cause it plays lower bass better but anyways its pritty much just a listening preference so u should be ok tho
