Hi there,
Running active with the DEH-80PRS. Tweeters and rear fill connected to a memphis mc2004, 50 x 4, and mids (front) and sub to a mca3004, 75 x 2, 230 x 1. Both amps set to flat.
Tweets HPF @ 4k
Mids HPF 4k, LPF 63
low LPF 63
Should I also set HPFs and LPFs for my speakers at the amps as a safety precaution so that they don't receive signal that I don't want them to in case of failure to the 80PRS? I have good adjustability on my amps - crossovers for every 2 channels, 18db/oct on the mc2004 and 18/12db/oct choice on the mca3004. I also trust the crossovers on the Memphis amps to work properly. I was running passive before and used them to good, accurate effect.
Like, set the HPF on the tweets @ 3.5k and the band pass at 3.5k, 60hz and LPF at 70. I chose these examples because they're lower (or higher) than the HPFs and LPFs I chose for the headunit.
Would those amp-set HPFs and LPFs not interfere and only come into play if the headunit failed?
Does this make sense?
Thanks guys!
Tyler
