crossover points??

[newb 10+ year member]

On a 2way setup, the components frequency response is from 90-20khz, wouldnt there be a gap from where the sub's crossover is setup, to where the comps are? I need tips and suggestions. Thanks!

You should be able to run your components down to 80Hz or so, unless you have 3" drivers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

And remember that crossover points are not brick walls - they attenuate down from the Xover point gradually, based on how steep (dB/oct) the Xover slope is set.

frequency response is also going to be install dependent.

The mids are 5.25" drivers. Can you clarify more on how steep (db/oct) the xover slope is set. (my username says it) Thanks!

Sometimes it's variable (you can adjust it between different slopes), sometimes it's not (one fixed value).

The owner's manual should tell you whether or not you can adjust the slope, as well as the slope of the crossover. Probably 12db/oct, as that's what a majority of equipment is set at.
