Active HU + amp crossover = Higher slope?

trial n error.

Which is why I was suggesting trying raising the xo point higher than 2.5khz, and try a shallower slope. Alot of old-school SQ guys swear by 6db slopes between the mid and tweet.
Point is, you aren't locked into the 2.5khz xo point. Altering it will/can affect what slope is optimum.

The other thing is that I have axis problems with my mid. In a perfect world I would

be able to do a 3-way front stage. Not only is the mid off-axis but it drops steeply

after 3k. I think one of my most effective solutions would be to mess with the seas

for a while and keep an eye out for some Illuminators and stay 2-way crossed at

1.8-2khz.

$400 for a pair of Illuminators....

Great low end though with the bump at 1khz. lotsa body.

I was considering used in the future, if I'm lucky:laugh:

I've even seen some guys let $800 horns go for like $220:wow://content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

crossover, or hugs & kisses

that's what was confusing me. That is the only common meaning I know. I didn't realize they used XO to say crossover. Thanks.
