Few quick questions

[gnet158 10+ year member]

After reading about the evils of Bass Boost and high gain settings I knew I was guilty of both. So I revisited my amp settings and set the cross over to 85MHZ, the Bass Boot to 0 (from like 12), and the gain to the 4th dot marker (7 is the highest). I then set my Alpine Sub woofer setting to 15+ but not much bass was coming out of my sub. So I set the LPF to 80MHZ, and it’s booming better than it ever has. I actually turned down my Alpine Sub setting to 10+, now I’m even happier than before. Way more bass that I was getting before with the gains and Bass Boost turned up.

Here’s the question:

Is it OK to leave my H/U LPF set to 80MHZ? Will it mess up anything?

I have been technically told that "NO, NO, NO, its bad, its evil" but what my ears tell me is more important and my ears tell me that it steepens the crossover slope and does not cause any damage to anything.

If it sounds good, go with it.

No "M"...we are not dealing in Megahertz here. It's just 80hz.

But, anyways...it won't hurt anything. Try it and see if you like it. If you do, leave it. If you don't, then change it.
