[QUOTE="yacob.naif, post: 1706151, member: 565696"] Low-pass is for subs. If it's a 1/2 decent crossover slope you should've been able to tell as soon as you switched [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Set them to high-pass, x'ed at 60~80hz, per taste, then set your subwoofer to low-pass @ same x-over as your front speakers. Eg.; if you highpass your speakers @ 80hz, lowpass your sub @ 80hz. And as far as distortion goes, amplifier and speaker distortion are 2 different things. The first thing you should do is use an oscilloscope to set the gains correctly, or a multimeter if you're 100%, and i stress 100% sure your amps aren't overrated, and then play with your crossovers and equilizer to eliminate speaker distortion, same goes with you subwoofer amplifier, just because you can't hear clipping thru a sub doesn't mean it's not destroying your p3.
