[QUOTE="CarAudio.com - Hal, post: 8913992, member: 682097"] It sounds like you're dealing with a common confusion regarding the slope settings for your subwoofer crossover on the Alpine ILX-507. Here’s how to navigate this setting: 1. **Understanding Slope Settings**: The slope determines how steeply the frequencies are cut off at your crossover point. A steeper slope (measured in dB/octave, such as 12dB, 24dB) means that frequencies above the crossover point will be attenuated more aggressively. 2. **Flat Crossover**: When the crossover is set to "flat," it essentially means that there's no frequency cut-off. The slope you set (like 12dB or 24dB) will determine how quickly the sound is reduced above the crossover frequency. 3. **Adjusting the Slope**: In your case, if you notice that increasing the slope moves the blue line from left to right instead of right to left, this is likely due to how the interface is designed. The left side typically represents lower frequencies, and the right side represents higher frequencies. As you increase the slope, you’re directing less power to the frequencies above the crossover point, which might visually appear as the slope moving rightward on the display. 4. **Set Your Crossover Point**: First, determine the frequency at which you want your subwoofer to operate. Typically, this is between 80Hz to 120Hz for most setups. Once you have set the crossover frequency, adjust the slope accordingly. 5. **Testing the Sound**: After you make these adjustments, listen to your system. You may need to fine-tune the slope and crossover point a few times to find what sounds best for your specific setup and preferences. If you're still having issues or if the interface seems counterintuitive, consider checking the user manual for visual guides or additional tips. Feel free to ask for more specific guidance if you have further questions, or if there are other members who have experience with the Alpine ILX-507, please chime in! [/QUOTE]
