Ok......//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif That was a toughy to read. Lol.

So what is your question? I'm not really seeing one? Having trouble with your crossover...ok need more info. Like HU crossover or seperate?

About the box..we all would need dimensions and typically the type of music you listen to.

I just installed a system in my 92 f-150. I have two amps one for highs and one for lows. Both amps have built in crossovers and i have another crossover wired in as well.

I have tree subs 2 10" and 1 12"all wired together and bridged in a small sealed box.

My question is #1 how to set the levels on all the cross overs #2 do i need the extra crossover and #3 should the box have any holes in it. thank you so much in advance cause I dont know what the hell I am dooing.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/blush.gif.99bc659ee2012b7d826165e26fb5eebe.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

A ported box that is not properly built to specs, is nothing more than a box with holes in it.

Also, Don't mix your subs. You will be much happier with either using the two 10" OR the one 12". Not both. Plus you will be able to better utilize what air space you have available. Using two different size subs like that has a tendency to cause problems. You should be able to get a bigger and better sound by using one or the other.

each speaker has its own air space. The box is devided in three sections.

I have two amps one for highs and one for lows. Both amps have built in crossovers and i have another crossover wired in as well.how to set the levels on all the crossovers do i need the extra crossover

Go with either the two 10's or the single 12. Seriously. Then work out your crossover problems.

Gotta go to other class so yea..later.

Guess he didn't believe me. Thanks for the "second"

Thanks for the addvice. Its a night and day difference. The system sounds much better. I am running the 2 -10” and it sounds much tighter. It made it much eazyer to set the levels on the cossovers by ear.
