Couple of questions regarding Active and A/T

[awdtalon21]

I just picked up some hertz hsk 165XL and this is my first time running active, after I ran the A/T the headunit is lowering the level of the mids and the tweeters, here is how it set it.

Low LPF 80 12db Level 0

Mid HPF 125 12db Level -15

Mid LPF 8k 12db Level -15

High HPF 8k 12db Level -23

Why do you guys think its lowering it so much, and what do you think of those settings, should I adjust anything?

Is 8k on the mid lpf to high?

Way the high on the mid. Go 60 on the sub, 80-3.5k on the mid, 4k up on the tweeter. 12db slopes. Go from there.

It's lowering because the front stage is so much louder than the sub. It's going to balance it as much as possible

I have it 63 on sub, 63-4k mid and 4k on tweeter, with 24db slopes. I will continue to play around with it.

Turn your sub gain down a bit before you run A/T. It shouldn't knock down your mid/tweet as much. Then turn up sub to where you like it when done
