[QUOTE="zane, post: 308, member: 540617"] I would actually separate the frequencies a little farther than 10- simply to avoide cancelation and speaker distortion. Plus- there is always a slight overlay in sound where frequency can go up an down a little passed the cut off point. - Here in- nothing is perfect, not even the best crossover. I personally like to keep the subs crossed over a little higher than 50 hz. Generally in SQ comps, I have found the best results between 60hz-72hz. Not much higher. I would try and start the 8's off arround 100-110 hz mabey a little higher- you allready have subs for the low end, let them handle the bass. The 8's would be for Midbass. The 5.25's I would begin at about 140-150hz, simply to avoid lower frequency distortion that the smaller speakers are not intended for. It really does come down to personal preference a lot when tuning this way, everyone's ears are different- thus also is everyones interpritation of sound. There really is no wrong or right answer, there are simply tried and tested guidlines. take it easy, -zane [/QUOTE]
