Nirvalica Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 what freq should i set my highs amp at? I have the high pass on mine set kinda low. Like 70-80. Some people say set it at 100, but my sub is crossed over around 70, so I don't want a gap between. I guess it depends on your speakers if they can handle some bass or not. Just adjust it to what sounds best to you. My Youtube Page.

eliassami5 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 most everybody sets their high pass at 100hz, but if uve got your sub amp set at 80hz low pass then you would want to set your highs amp at 80hz high pass so you dont have a gap in the frequency range. Basically like the guy above said. Let the highs do what they do (play the highs) and let the subs do what they do (play the lows), dont try to set ur highs amp to full range and try to play 50hz through your speakers..wont work out too good and sure wont sound good. 91' Jeep Cherokee - The Heep Just Empty Every Pocket 96' Volvo 960 - The B◘x [sPL_4_U] HiFonics - Alpine Pioneer - Clarion Infinity - Kicker KnuKonceptz

Just adjust it to what sounds best to you. If you're aiming for a flat response it makes sense to have a gap. Most crossovers are -18db/octave or -12db/octave and what you really want is to have the -3dB point of the high and lowpass at the same place, so the combined outputs make +3dB and you get a flat response overall. Unless your crossovers are marked at the -3dB point that is (as few high end ones are, wierd huh?) in which case you would set them to the same thing. 10.x volts fo' life!

True, I get what you're saying. So how would you figure that out? Where the -3db spot for each crossover is. My Youtube Page.
