    not sure ,clarify please

    how does a high pass ,full range work at the same time on a pair of speakers? Its only a 2 way switch. slide it to the left its hp/fr, slide it to the right its lp/bp .when would I use lp/bp? this is for my rear where I have a component set.

    not sure ,clarify please

    The set up I'm going to use will be tweets up front, components with passive crossovers in rear and a single sub in back.hu will be pioneer 80prs in standard mode with a five channel amp.I want to control hpf from head.

    not sure ,clarify please

    Vaiboy you are correct. I never would have known.it makes better sense now.another question, if I run all five channels and use the amps controls instead of hu would I use the Lp/bp switch? I assume yes.thanks again.

    why mute?

    Reading the manual to my pioneer 80prs.in the hpf setup it gives me the option to mute the uotputs.what is that for?

    trying to understand

    I'm not going to be satisfied until I experiment with all the options this hu offers.what about this....If I remove the passive crossover from my components couldn't I go active then? It would be a 2 way obviously mid hi and subwoofer. Do I take a chance ruining them trying to set the correct...
