[QUOTE="Redford, post: 451558, member: 548670"] Wow, sorry to bring back a semi-dead thread but I am a mfing idiot. I had the Pre-EQ on on my amp... its for bi-amping the Polk/MOMO components. So it set the front HPF to 4 kHz and gave it a 2 dB boost at 12.1 kHz, and that was running my Infinity Perfects. That would explain the extreme harshness of the tweeters. The rear HPF preset was 38.4 Hz and the LPF was 2.82 kHz. Now, my new question is, could playing too high frequencies on my midbass driver caused it to blow? or do only too lower frequencies cause speakers to blow? (assuming the signal was not distorting) I figure I don't need to set a crossover for the Infinity Perfects since they have a passive crossover already, but I don't know whether to set the HPF or LPF for the remaining (1) midbass driver. I don't want the driver to play below 50 Hz or above 200 Hz either but I can only set one, which would be more important to set? [/QUOTE]
