Crossover help

[tbangem 10+ year member]

Before anyone rags on me. I have searched this issue and have not gotten a clear cut answer. I have an issue of trying to figure out how to set my crossover on my H/U and amp. I am unable to turn of the crossover on my deck or bypass it on my amp. My question what is the best method of setting it or should I just replace the amp with one that does. I enjoy my deck so replacing the amp is the alternative. Can someone who has this same issue chime in on what I need to do. I appreciate the input. Here are my componemts:

H/U: Pioneer AVIC-z120bt

Comp: RF T1

SUBS: RE Audio *** 12's

SUB Amp: Audioque Aq1200D

High/Mid Amp: Audioque Aq4X90

You can run the xover active on both the h/u and amp. It will just double the slope more or less.

Im too lazy to look up your equipment, but I find it very odd neither the h/u or amp will allow you to defeat the xover.

What he said^. I ha ve that amp. Just turn turn the lpf all the way up and set it properly on the HU. You have then successfully defeated the crossover on the amp, although it doesn't have an actual "defeat" or "through" setting.

Eh, I would prefer to leave the amp's crossover set at the correct point, less chance of it somehow getting changed. Reseting the HU will reset all crossover settings and it's easy to forget to put them back in...

Yeah I tried both ways. I get the best sound with the Amp all the way up but it is not as deep as what I am use too. IDK But then again I had the old style RE SE's. By the way I have Sealed box 1.3 CUft per Sub. Thansk for the input given.
