[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8452058, member: 576029"] define "raising the octave" a crossover has two main aspects: 1. crossover point (frequency) 2. crossover slope (dB/octave) if you increase slope you cause a sharper roll-off. for example, a 24dB/oct high-pass compared to a 12dB/oct high pass will let more bass get to the speakers. if you increase the crossover point you change what frequencies are heard. so a 120Hz high pass crossover lets less bass to the speaker than an 80Hz high pass crossover. you set points and slopes based on a combination of the speakers used (for physical protect) and personal preference.
