How do I Bypass my Amps crossover…

[Loucious]

Hey guys,

I have a Focal Solid 1 amp I use for my 8” subwoofer.

I want to use my head units crossover for it, and bypass the amp crossover…but my Solid 1 has NO bypass/or all pass thru setting.

What would I set the amp crossover at, so I can set the head unit to a 80hz LPF?

Just set the amplifiers crossover as high as possible.

Your crossover slopes will be steeper ..so sharper cutoff points ..say deck is 24db and amp is 24db youll have a 48db slope the subs will still see the frequency of the lowest point so amp at 250 deck at 80 your amp will see 80 ...with a 48db slope it will be like seeing a brick wall ...
