[QUOTE="noob with an RS, post: 837975, member: 558925"] hey i just got my sub in!! a 12" idMAX powered by an MTX 1501d! i wanted to crossover my sub as high as i could go without drawing the sound stage toward the trunk. IIRC the frequency at which sound is "locatable" is around 80 hz? so i popped a 90 hz test tone CD and did not unplug my subs [B]NOR my components[/B]. i played the 90 hz test tone on my system with the crossover on the MTX ALL THE WAY DOWN. then i turned the x-over knob up slowly until the 90 hz test tone was barely audible and obviously coming from the trunk. then i lowered the knob until i couldn't even tell the test tone was coming from the bacc. i think this is a real good method of setting my crossover because with the components playing the test tone at the same time, i have an idea of how the "blend" will sound like with a certain frequency. would anyone agree this is a good method of crossing subs over at a certain point??
