[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8255683, member: 655960"] Sounds like things are better than I originally thought. But no, you do not have control of the crossover frequency when the amp is set to full range. Full range is a pretty straight forward description of the signal you're feeding the mids, in that it means they're getting everything the source has to offer, from 20Hz to 20KHz. When in full range mode, the crossover is bypassed and has no effect. Normally, the best setting for high pass crossovers is 80Hz. This will cut everything below the crossover frequency at a predetermined slope... which is 18-24dB per octave. Mids don't generally do well on frequencies below 80Hz so that's where they should be cut off. Likewise, 20-80Hz is the sub bass frequency range so your low pass filter on the subwoofer channels should be set to 80Hz as well. The easiest way to set the HP crossover without tools is to disconnect the subwoofers, set the hp filter as close as you can get to 80 (usually they're not marked very well) and then play the system at a loud volume level. Adjust the crossover until the mids play as low as possible without distortion and then, set the lp filter on the subs at the same point. [/QUOTE]
