help set up crossovers

[heyhi1 10+ year member]

Infinity perfect 6.1 components fronts alpines in rear...pioneer avh p 1400 head unit ... rockford 60 w rms x4 amp 1 speaker per channel ...I had them installed and highs are to high and mids aren't hi enough. I didnt like the place that installed them so I rather set it up myself. Crutchfield says. The 2-way crossover uses a 3500 Hz (24 dB/octave) high-pass filter for the tweeter and a 3500 Hz (24 dB/octave) low-pass filter for the woofer for exceptionally natural sound. Each crossover features 3-way selectable tweeter output (-4 dB, 0 dB, +5 dB) for optimizing your system's response. Infinity has created a component system for the most demanding listener — don't settle for anything less than Perfect!

I want crisp sound thanks for the help

Try using the -4 setting for the tweeter.

Only use one high pass filter for the component set, either at the head unit or at the amplifier. 63hz should be fine an will have no effect on the mid/hi imbalance you're describing. Gain is to compensate for your head unit's pre-out voltage and should also have no effect on the imbalance. What will have a direct effect on your perceived imbalance is the advice I gave you in post #2 .
